Hi rh1972,

I checked with the Alienware Aurora R4 system, A07 BIOS is latest version available on Dell support site which enhances PCIe margins which may improve the performance and stability of certain third-party graphics cards.

You may want to use the below link for A07 BIOS:

Hi rh1972,

Yes you can do that but in future any updated BIOS version gets released in the Dell support site you can use them.

Tried to update to latest BIOS A07 but driver says that I need to update to BIOS A05 first.

Any idea where I find that update?

Thanks
