    Hello, I was wanting to know if anybody with a 7970m has noticed a drop in performance since flashing to A05 Bios from A02 or A01 whatever the 1st one was. Thank

    I'm not sure if it has to do with the BIOS or the various drivers I've been experimenting with. But yes, a definite performance drop specifically in Battlefield 3!
