Hi, I have two Vega's 56 and each bios' date is different one is from 2018/3/15 and another one is from 2017/11/23 

 

Anyone knows how to at least match those two to have the same bios date? 

 

Like i saw on techup there was a BIOS but only from 2017 so how can another one be from 2018? Those two cards were purchased together, newly. 

 

I keep both gpus seperated for now, since im doing some tests 

 

- VEGA 56 Pulse (Sapphire)

why? doesnt hurt to have different BIOS dates. Or does it just trigger your inner OCD?

Well for the most part I'd like to know at least why and if it is done only when the card gets 1st time assembled 

 

Example: the one with 2017 bios got assembled in 2017 another one in 2018

most likely they aren't produced together as the same batch. Just because the retailer shipped them together doesnt mean they left the factory together

ik that's what im telling u .-. 

i just want to know if it has any importance to all of this, let's say that u run it in crossfire, is there even a 0,1% chance that will cause trouble?

No importance, the important thing is the driver. BIOS updates dont change how the same model of custom card work, though they might add functionality like RGB effects and fan stop function.
