Video card BIOS

[Wonderwrench]

Looks like the 10.11's are out! http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx
Strange, the release notes do not list the new 6xxx series cards. If you look for drivers for the 6xxx series all you get is the 10.10's

Maybe I will step off the deep end on this one. I will see shortly

Thank you for the research on this question. I think the question at this point is whether the bios upgrade is advisable? Will the diparity of the bios versions affect performance in XFire? I have to comment as well that the installation of CCC has been anything but smooth and I think may be contributing to anomolies in my performance.

This is the explanation I received back from our Technical Support:

"The perfect situation assumes both cards in Crossfire or SLI to have exactly the same specs including bios. As bios holds some information about for example internal timings, then if user has 2 different bioses then driver picks up the slower one card as the base and slows down the faster one. This way some percentage gain maybe lost."

So it definitely would be worth flashing the BIOS on the older card. I still haven't received an answer as to where it can be obtained from but I will post here when I have the information.

I have been told we don't have direct access to the graphics card BIOSes here so I can only advise you to go direct to GGTS for that information. Sorry.
