I haven't had the time to try reflashing with all those BIOS files yet, but found something interesting perhaps worth mentioning....
The label on my card says SKU# 11196-09:
But when filling in the Sapphire support contact form I noticed that (after inputting my card's serial number) I noticed that the SKU# came up as: 11196-09-40G
I don't know if the "40G" addition makes any difference, but I searched for it, hoping to find a BIOS download somewhere. I didn't succeed in that, but I found a thread where someone with the same card posted a GPU-Z screenshot which had some interesting information:
BIOS version: 015.025.000.999.000000 (113-210P2HY-V08)
Release date: Jan 31, 2012
Device ID: 1002-679A
Subvendor: Sapphire/PCPartner (174B)
I miss the last 4 digits of the subsystem ID though (i.e. 3000 or E210), but it might be because they're using an old version of GPU-Z.
The posting talks about "I was playing around with TRIXX...." so it might be referring to a modified BIOS, or.... the same BIOS which has been played around with (it says GPU clock: 1175MHz which doesn't appear to be the factory default), but the BIOS number got me curious, howver I wasn't able to find any such BIOS here at TechPowerUp. What do you think?
UPDATE: I found another posting regarding the same Vapor X 7950 card as mine with a GPU-Z screenshot, and the same BIOS number is shown there (015.025.000.999.000000) although without the "113-210P2HY-V08" following it, so I assume this is most likely the factory-fitted BIOS.
Actually the user had uploaded the files as well, but the link no longer worked unfortunately.
