    Usually it’s there to change between two modes. Default one and “Gaming/OC”. Can’t you just check the manual?

    Switches between a quiet mode BIOS with low clocks, low power, and low voltage (efficiency or “mining mode”) and a more aggressively gaming mode BIOS.

    it switches between differnt bios you can have more than one bios on these cards. they where extremly popular by overclockers and during the bitcoin boom for miners because people could put a custom bios on them without risking briking the card.

    google is a tool that provides answers the second you ask it. welcome to the pcmasterrace tho, watch some youtube vids and do some research so you can become a techie

    I remember when people posted questions that the answer wasn’t easy to find or wasn’t in the manual.

    It reads the owner manual to you.

    Switches the card on and off. Make sure you switch it off when you turn off your PC and turn it back on BEFORE you turn on the PC.

    PCMR masters of not reading their manuals now I guess. And gamers wonder why things like video game manuals went out of vogue lol.

    Dunno. Maybe it’s mentioned in the manual.

    It turns your 6800 into a 6800xt :). Yeah it’s dual bios. Incase you mess one up

    I have to guess that this is a bios switch like in the rx 580 4gb sapphire nitro that i own. 1 is overcklocked and the other one is normal
