Well its not my first rodeo flashing modded bios's and was looking for a fun project. Thing is if I pick up this card and Mess it up I can always return it.

Just the performance numbers aren't that great if you ask me..

Thanks

You have no scruples if you screw up a card and just return it. :shadedshu:

Well Go grab a 470 then

Grab the old driver by using google.
 
I have modified card rx 460 loaded bios and now Crimson 16.11.5. Or maybe someone step by step how to write it to write the latest drivers? Someone wrote in the topic, it is easier method. The computer uses a younger cousin. Thanks in advance.
 
Hello. Does the method in the first post work on the newest drivers also? Right now newest is 17.2.1. Can I apply the method for this or is 16.12.1 specific?

Hello .. im new here tha ks for this work you guys doing here ... i having problems with the last update 17.2.1 ..... this solution can works in this update ??? After i flash the bios i patched the drivers with the patcher ... but when i tried to overclock a minimal thing the gou crashes .. any help ?
 
If you have a RX 460 then note that the unlock increases the power consumption which can lead to instability.Try to lower the voltage and increase power limit. If you don't how to do this safely, then ignore my advice :).
 
i have rx 480 8 gb i have 17.4.2 install the patch the driver works but the VSR ( virtual super resolution ) not working , with the 16.11.5 the VSR was working ( in games )
 
@All, I have 3xRX480's I ran this mod and it worked.. However, now win 10 x64 Pro only sees ONE GPU.. Any thoughts??
 
I followed the instructions religiously and I was able to enjoy my unlocked RX-460. However, after updating to the latest version of Crimson ReLive (17.5.1) and Toasty's Pixel Clock Patcher (1.4.5) I've ran into trouble. Haven't tested any games yet, but surprisingly Windows 7 disabled the Aero and transparency function because:
"The current video card may support Aero with a driver that is compliant with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Contact the manufacturer of your computer or video card for a WDDM-compatible driver."
I would assume that something as simple as the above would affect programs that are reliant on graphics.

Just to update this, I rolled back to a driver that I knew worked in the past - 17.2.1 - but still used the same Pixel Clock Patcher, and voila! Everything is back to normal.

Since I bumped this old topic, for everyone looking for a solution in 2018 this is the reply you need

Use AMD/Ati Pixel Clock Patcher. It's much simpler: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...laris-bios-modders.228536/page-2#post-3587441

1. Install the driver (it might say partially installed)
2. Run the patcher
3. Reboot

Hi,

Sorry to open this again, Do you know if AMD has removed signature check on drivers?. I have an STRIX RX460 Nitro and i really want to try this out. I do not have money to spend in a new Graphic card in a near future. here in argentina they are really expensive :(
 
I don’t have a card to test with, but I can’t see any reason that they would remove it.

I don’t understand how this relates to the situation with your graphics card though?
