Nah !!!! Not at all.... its performing superb and overclocks like there is no tomorrow. I was just curious to know whether Asus has plans to roll out boost BIOS update to all 7950 cards as the device ID of Asus card matches that of a reference design card for which AMD published the BIOS update to reviewers.
I don't think that BIOS update is going to do much of improvement since as it is stock DirectCUII card breaks 1050MHz core overclock under normal volts. Absolutely great cards from Asus. Just love it.

I got the same card and found there is boost bios update for this model from AMD. Is ASUS gone provide an official update?

Yes, there is an update for that.

The new update bumped the GPU to 925 MHz.

I didn`t do any benchmark, nor checked voltages or anything, I just use it as it came from Asus - factory OC`d.
The only thing I noticed on the Catalyst HW Info page is that the GPU clock was crancked up by 25 MHz.
