I tried the 7950 bios on 3 of my Gigabyte cards, one saw a nice improvement, up to 90+ h/s but it fails after a few minutes. The other two only hash for about a minute before crashing. Even adjusting the clocks up/down made no real difference.

Nice find though, good information!!  Cool

You sure you had the Hynix memory? The most I can get with my Gigabyte 7950 is 130 Sols because it crashes with any memory clock higher than 1500. I think I run it at 1000/1400.

Pretty sure. I run ethos (linux) so GPUz doesnt do me any good. Ethos reports it as Hynix. Its not the exact model you list, its a Gigabyte Twin Frozr II but I thought Id give it a try anyway. I also planned to try the same bios on my reference Sapphire 7950's but have not made it that far yet.

I think I even went as far as to drop the clocks to 1000/1250 and it still crashed.

Twin Frozr II is usually MSI, not Gigabyte. Maybe try the MSI 280X instead.

I posted a reference 7950 BIOS a few pages back, search for it and try it. Its for a 8950 technically but I think it worked for some other individual's 7950.
