6990m high stock frequencies

Hello all. My 6990m from my M17x R3 failed last week after 1 year of use. I went with my laptop in service and they've changed my graphics card to another amd 6990m. Casually i opened gpu-z and i saw that the frequencyes are diferent...the old 6990m had gpu clock 740 and memory 900 and the new card has 825 mhz with 1000mhz and it presents itself more cooler in games and rendering aplications 67-72 (75-78 old card) Celcius and 52-54 (60 old card) in idle. My win 7 score for gaming and aero is 7.8. Is this a revision or something? i do not understand, the guy from service said it's the same card. I only have 1 more year of waranty and i am scared not to burn it again. I do not overclock, i just render and play casually dota 2 and starcraft 2.

Hmm looks like they replaced your card with one that had been flashed with a modified vbios. . . Those are the frequencies I have my cards running at through a modded vbios. Maybe they removed the card currently in your laptop from another alienware being serviced, didn't realize it was flashed and put if in your alienware as a replacement.

Use atiflash or gpu-z to dump the vbios and then use rbe to determine what voltage its running at for the performance 3D clocks. It'd be pretty neat if it was overvolted too b/c I don't think anyone has been able to overvolt a 69XXm card.

 

I'm also thinking about a different vBios, those clocks don't seem that high so it might be worth to keep it as it is
