Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
Im going to assume you mean the config-data since that is the only thing sparkle even specifies.

The answer is no. FW is only included when a card is first released, or an issue arises that needs correcting. I do not and would not expect the config-data to change often at all. If it doesnt exist, that would point to the built firmware they had working fine for there cards application. Which makes sense given that sparkle made the A380 in the genie variant before the ELF line existed. You may be able to cross flash it, but again, the Genie line came before, so the ELF A380 likely didnt need modification to the firmware they already had. Additionally, if they DID make updates to the firmware from there Genie line and burn it to the cards, it stands to reason you probably should not cross flash. The Genie config-data binaries are older and since no official release of the config-data for ELF exists you would not be able to flash back if you managed to force a downgrade.

I should also mention, though I have before a few times. the fw config-data does nothing for your cards performance. If you are really chasing updates etc then you want to look at the main fw and oprom files, SPECIFICALLY the oprom files.
