Why not just flash the cards.

If I was only going to use a single core graphic card then that would be the easy option to flash the bios as that would take at most a reboot and 30 secs of flashing. But the process for a HD3870x2 with dual cores is less simple and very very time consuming. Dual core bios flashing is not straight forward like a single card with one core. Then take into consideration that each benchmark has its own max frequency of the graphic card. So you would need to re-flash the bios for all 4 of the major benchmarks. And in one benchmark you often change the clocks for some of the individual tests. 🙂 That is not practical when you are benching with LN2 or Dry Ice, one pot on the CPU and four on the graphic cards is a lot of work. You need easy solution not complicated ones at that juncture. So in OS applications are the way to go.
