    So I have been searching for a while now looking for some way to backup my 7970m vbios so i can undervolt/overclock the card. MSI afterburner reads the cards clock speeds as the max it can handle. 850/1200
    Can someone help me figure out undervolting/setting max overclock frequencies and flashing my vbios???
    I seem to be getting the tinyest bit of throttling and I wanna try undervolting to solve it...
    Also my displayport output doesn't work in windows but works in bios/boot screen and I would like to get that going.

    another option is if anyone has a OEM dell 7970m vbios could they upload it or send it to me so i can try that?

    Please help!
