    Thats the battery clock profile. Set your power plan to high performance and it should be back to 700/1000.

    Its just the power plans. You can customise them to your liking - if you want you can make the gpu run at high performance clocks on all profiles plugged in and on battery and some other pretty important tings like sleep times, screen dim times, min and max cpu state...
    Bios again has nothing to do with the power plans and powerplay. The vBios is the one that sets the powerplay clocks.
