Uninstalled and Re-installed new AMD Drivers, GPU no longer flashed??

Hi Guys,

It has been awhile since I have last flashed a GPU, the last time I did this was when I bought my second 7950. I have a MSI 7950 on the top slot with a Ice-Q Boost underneath it. Now the problem I had before was that the MSI (880Mhz/1.094v) ran different clocks to the Ice-Q Boost (925Mhz/1175v) and the Ice-Q is a boost card which the MSI is not.

I had flashed both cards so they were running at 880Mhz/1.094v and OC them from there. I cannot find the old thread that I used to do this and do not understand why the Ice-Q has gone back to default. I use Driver Fusion to wipe any remaining AMD files after the CCC Uninstaller.

Should I re-flash or is there another reason why it is doing this?

Thankyou,
Tom
 
You havent knocked the dual BIOS switch into the other position if you used one have you?

No, after installing the new AMD drivers and re-installing Afterburner, when I switch between the two cards at stock they have different speeds. It is not until I apply a Overclock profile that it changes, when before the Ice-Q had the same speeds and voltage as the MSI at stock.

'Method 2' has a custom bios/flashing guide, but before you try that, go into AB directory and remove 'profiles' folder, then uninstall/re-install AB first and then check your default clocks.

Deleted the Profiles folder, uninstalled and re-installed AB. After restarting I checked both cards and the clocks and voltage are different to one another. The MSI is 880Mhz/1.094v and the IceQ is 925Mhz/1.175v.
Does this mean I should redo the bios flash?
