GPU stuttering/Should I update GPU BIOS?

Hysterical · July 30, 2017

Here's the deal:

This week I upgraded to a GTX 1060 (specifcally a MSI GTX1060 6GT OC). It works pretty well but sometimes stutters during gameplay. Setting Maximum Pre-rendered Frames in NVIDIA Control Panel to 1 helped but didn't completely fix it. I did a clean driver install using DDU and that also didn't help. Now I have installed the drivers that came with the GPU (older drivers provided by MSI) (376.09) and my 3DMark score actually improved by 200+. I have tried to play BF1 but it requires a newer driver and to be honest I don't want to update since performance will go down.

Now about the question:

While doing my research I stumbled upon a review of this exact card. In the review the guy added a GPU-Z screenshot (for overclocking and stuff). I decided to compare it my GPU-Z and found that our BIOS versions differ. Once I looked for GPU BIOSes here: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/ I found that for my card there are two BIOSes. I have the older one (86.06.0E.00.68) and the review guy has the newer one (86.06.0E.00.A7). Should I update the BIOS to see if it will help with my issues (and maybe improve the card because I'm sure there's a reason for there being two versions)?
