Hello! thanks for reading and helping me!

I bought the xfx rx 480 8gb gtr, and read about it's dual bios. In xfx's website you can download either performance or stealth bios, and then flash any following provided instructions.
Also, the vga seems to have a physical switch on a side. But the manual doesn't say anything about it. Neither the website.
So i was wondering:

1) what bios comes factory preinstalled out of the box? Performance? Both (switch position depending)?

2) i certainly want performance, so what should i do? Flash it nevertheless in order to be sure even the risk?

Thanks!

Hello,

The bios files have been taken down because of the alarming amount of people who flashed the wrong bios and bricked their cards.

1. Performance. The stealth bios was added to lower fan speeds/noise by 10% during typicaly load. clock speeds are the same, the gpu just runs 10% more hot.

2. Dont flash, nothing to gain. You're good as is.
