It is called a BIOS switch. basically it is a secondary BIOS(firmware controller of the card) that allows you to switch between 2 preset speeds on the card. On is usually a faster OCd BIOS while the other is stock.

Another use is a backup or recovery switch that allows a backup BIOS in case the first is damage or the OC you have applied causes windows to not boot.

Check which one is the faster clock speed with GPU-Z. It does not really matter that much though, you can OC the card too match either 1 or 2.
