ok I can only find 1 compatible bios on the database and it has the same vram memory timings and other settings as yours so I'm not sure thats what the issue is as when I used a mining bios and would get crashes they werent BSOD it would freeze the computer up with a blank coloured screen where I had to do a manual restart, same when I mod my card if I don't get certain settings right or push it too far that's the behaviour it exhibits. When you played apex and bf did you get a message when you restarted the PC about wattman having to restore default settings?

Oh and can you list the rest of your specs, and if you have any overclocks on the CPU or RAM

I have OCed my CPU i7 3770k to 4.4 with 1.2 Vcore and my Ram to 1336 to stable CPU OC

just for arguments sake can you restore stock clocks for CPU and RAM, run default settings in the bios and see if you still get crashing in game?

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/198039/198039 the one bios file with the same device id and sub system id and bios version number that has samsung ships. it is indeed marked as the same 470 mining card you have both bios files are identical

I was just about to say the same thing. I found an RX 470 STRIX BIOS in the DB yesterday with the same VRAM and timings. So I don't think it's that either. In my experience VRAM instability from clocks being too high usually just crashes the driver, not so much the entire system. And having the timings too tight will give artifacts before crashing anything.

Anyway. Not the card. Something else. I'd do some serious stability testing with the CPU and RAM first. Which is most likely what the problem is(I can almost guarantee it).

yea sure w8 m8

flash the bios i provided in post#25. its the original bios with stock rx470 power and memory timmings. should work fine. also like mentioned above, set the cpu to default clocks and give it a try.

Those timings are the same as his current bios, so I stand by my previous statement about not being sure that's what the issue is, the power settings wont make a difference if it is the vbios though I don't think it is and I think he has the standard Asus bios for that mining card based off the only other 1 I could find which match up perfectly, hence asking him to use bios defaults for CPU and RAM and run games again, guess we shall see.

Guys I set the settings to default. And I flashed the bios from #25 but in devicemanger I see this little yellow triangle on GPU driver and can't install driver while using Intel HD grpahics i see that driver is installed properly but not functioning when plug DVI in i mean there is no Video out put on monitor ... and it won't let me to boot to windows 10 unless I use safe mode ...

Use safemode to flash your saved bios back to the card, the one you sent me. Remember to run atiflash as admin.

Ok it is done card is at its first stage again. ..

 

[NdMk2o1o]

right, now you have the "original" bios on the card, or at least we think, your CPU and RAM have no OC? can you run the games you tried before that crashed?

 

[MTF96zn]

Ok w8

Guys I tested the system and the graphics card it does work on default setting on every game but there is a slight stutter while gaming ...
An other thing is do I have to play on stock hardware setting like non oced parts ?

Woohoo, it could well be your CPU or RAM oc was not 100% stable even though you thought it was and the crash was brought on by a certain load in the games you tested, go ahead and overclock your system again you might need to tweak your initial settings and voltages slightly to make it 100% stable but you can make another thread for that one if you have any issues

Regarding the stutter, you should look at what driver version you have installed, check things like vsync/freesync, windows updates, chipset, game updates etc but I'm happy the GPU seems to be stable for you and we don't need to get messy and messing with bios mods and vram timings etc.

Thanks I will test and will report back ...

Anything?

Hello guys after a long test I managed to oc i7 3770k to 4.3ghz vcore 1.250 and ram to 1666 mhz it was pretty much stable and no issues where noticed ... no bios change is required BUT if I manage to find or mod one I will report back ASAP
Thanks for your help and time ...

Oh and I forgot tell that Temps where all in safe zone mb 38c cpu reached 75c and gpu 69c so I guess my bad oc caused parts ran hotter and not stable ...

Hello guys can I use that for gaming?

Hello guys can I use that for gaming?

You definitely can .. just next time when you upload a picture of a product hide the serial no. For your own sake
