So I bought a R9 Fury X and am upgrading to a newer motherboard (AsRock AB350M Pro) and cpu (ryzen 1700). Ive been hearing about this dual bios mode that the R9 has and I couldn't really find a straight forward answer. What does UEFI do? And will it give me an improvement?

So my Fury has a button that swaps Bios, should I just use UEFI mode?

You can if your motherboard support UEFI

The dual BIOS is for BIOS modding/overclocking, so if one gets messed up you can revert back to the other. It's not a switch to activate UEFI. UEFI is just the new firmware standard that replaces the old BIOS standard. If your motherboard has UEFI then your card will use UEFI automatically.
