It doesn't look like it has dual BIOS.

This is that BIOS there.
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/195954/195954

And there's a list of unverified BIOSes with that Device/Subsystem ID here.
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios...emSize=4096&did=1002-67DF-174B-353E-CF&since=

I don't know which is best suited for your card. Our BIOS recovery specialist will be here shortly to help you determine that. @eidairaman1

Well I am humbled I'm currently on the job so please bear with me it might take me some time to build read through this after I'm driving currently

Ugh that card got goofed up bad.

I doubt any 400 series had a dual bios

Ok @jerrybass, take the card out of the case, please take a picture of all of the white stickers on the back of the card, bear in mind look at the heatsink fan edges for white stickers too.

Post all pictures here please.

@MrGenius You may have found the right bios already but I want to see what clocks he is supposed to be running...

Hold on there, follow my directions

You have a mining edition card is why this happened

Hold on there, follow my directions

Info on that card, lets first get that card back to stock since you have a 0 0 fro core and ram speed

i dont have thermal compound

Go buy some so that when you remove the heatsink you can put some fresh on.

The reason you will take the heatsink off is so we can get a picture of one of the ram chips.

Get some Arctic MX4,

Once you have the compound we will be able to proceed.

I dont trust the gpu-z info because of the bios that was posted was for samsung but gpu-z says it is micron. I want physical verification of this card

Ok with the card laying down as if mounted in the the case make sure both SW1 and SW2 switches are set to the left.

Install the card and upload a gpu-z screenshot.

Close gpu-z

Then move SW1 and SW2 to the right upload a gpu-z screen.

Close gpu-z

Move SW1 to the left, keep SW2 right- upload a GPU-Z Screen

Close gpu-Z again Move SW 1 to right and Move SW2 left, post a gpu- z screen.

Supposedly this card has a high bios and a silent bios and 2 backups.

The BIOS doesn't need flashed to get it working like he wants. There's a hard mod that needs to be done to get the display output working(as shown in the vid above). It's a highly unusual configuration. Flashing the BIOS at this point is not going to fix anything. And might make it less functional when the hard mod is done.

Bottom line: No hard mod = No worky ;)
