Yea, the difference is very subtle.

IIRC should be when you used to know something, but are not quite sure you can remember the details.

AFAIK is generally for when you are not quite sure that you have ever known the answer.

For example,

IIRC I had <dropped item> on <character> but ...
AFAIK goa are replacing dropped items on charcters.

I guess that was TMI though?
