Bought Gygabyte RX 570 8GB Gaming "Mi" version, did not know Mi standed for Mining, and now I'm stuck... Help

TinkrTonkr · May 23, 2019

It has a mining bios, that can only be used for gaming using a tool called atikmdag patcher (Even says that in Gygabyte site)

Gigabyte has bios for all cards in the site, and I'm unlucky, no bios for RX 570

I would like to flash a gaming Bios for RX 570 8GB GAMING with Micron Memory, to use it normally and not have to patch it everytime I install a driver and whatever

Other than that after patching gpu runs and works smoothly

Anyone has a BIOS for that card? Would be awesome if someone had, thanks in advance

Any particular reason you don’t return it as a mistaken purchase, instead of going through all the trouble?

Got it in a sale, don't know if they'll exchange it for a gaming version, i doubt it...

It's shouldn't hurt to ask - especially if you can exchange it instead of just asking for a refund.

Usually best to return. If it was an Ebay purchase, it can be returned easily. If it was a major merchant, they will return but you may pay a restock fee. Its still better to just eat the fee and get it returned so you can buy the right card the second time around instead of dealing with a hassle.

Return it, even if they'll charge you a restock fee. Better safe than sorry.
