    Need BIOS for Sapphire Pulse RX580 see post please

    Yes I got the one where you have to solder it up to change it from 5v to 3.3V and I'm hoping my chip is 3.3V! haha Do you have a recommendation on a programmer with a clip that supports both voltages? I purchased this one (pic) but I'm willing to buy another better one if it makes life easier.
