Dual BIOS
A physical BIOS switch allows the card's supported operating profile to prioritize thermal performance or quieter fan behaviour.
Performance Mode
Choose the performance-focused BIOS profile when stronger cooling behaviour is preferred under load.
Quiet Mode
Select the quieter BIOS profile when reduced acoustic output is the priority.
Hardware Selection
The onboard switch provides profile selection without requiring a permanent software setting.
Low-Load Silence
0dB fan-stop technology complements the quiet-focused operating profile during light workloads.
