Can't find BIOS for RX580 2048SP

[Zombie731]

I have a lot of these cards, all have the same problem, mining bios, which makes it impossible to install drivers, not all data is displayed in GPU-Z, and the system is not stable in benchmarks. I tried almost all, or all bios that matched the ID, Sub ID and memory name on techpowerup for RX580 2048SP, also tried RX580 8GB and RX 570 8GB. If data about Bandwidth/GPU clock did not appear in GPU-Z, I tried a different firmware.
Here are the main data about the video card:

Memory: Samsung K4G41325FE-HC25

GPU Chip: 215-0910052

Device ID: 1002 6FDF
Subsystem ID: 1002 0B31

There are a lot of cards, I can conduct any experiments, I have also a chip programmer in case if some card will get bricked too badly.
ANY form of help is very appreciated

Your card has 8 GB of ram and K4G41325FE. I recognize the PCB (SA05A-V20), its a Frankenstein card.....
Normally Polaris card has memory on one side, your card has memory on both sides.

These bioses will work likely:

DICASVER RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1244 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

AMD RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1244 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

Kinology RX 580 2048SP VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1206 MHz GPU, 1500 MHz Memory

Unfortunatly none of them worked well, still can't see the GPU clock, bandwidth, texture fillrate and the pixel fillrate. By the way you are right about the memory on both sides. Do you have any other bioses to try? Thank you

Its software reading. Did you try DDU before reinstalling the drivers?

This thread might be interesting. Same board in posts but different memory. We found a working bios for him and the bios also contains K4G41325FE memory support!

I didn't know about DDU until now, i will try at Monday, thank you for the advice

Dissinstalled old drivers with DDU in safe mode, rebooted without internet, flashed your bioses, starting from the Jisoonzer, but still get the same picture in GPU-Z and while trying to install AMD drivers. Is there anything else possible to try?

Throw them in the bin

 

[Zombie731]

Throw them in the bin

I have like a 100 of them

100 in the bin looks cool to me

Did you try those bioses on other cards as well or did you only work on one card?

Do all card have Samsung K4G41325FE?

Tried only with one 1 card, I will try some others tomorrow, and I will also check for the memory, maybe it's really different, I will reply back

You should annotate all screenshots to make your thread findable online.
Ellesmere, Radeon RX580 2048SP, Revision EF. AMD Radeon driver shows code Error 182.

v2.60.0 (August 16th, 2024)
Fixed "0 MHz" memory clock display on some AMD RDNA GPUs without overclocking support

Hm.
You should try to install Windows updates / a BIOS from RX570 / or install the driver files manually after they are extracted to C:\AMD\... using the Device Manager - update driver - manually choose this folder & enable subfolders.

Any luck? AMD released Adrenalin 25.5.1 driver for Polaris today:

So yeah, I just tried some experiments with the cards. The thing is, all of your BIOSes work well — I was just testing them wrong.
Long story short, I have a lot of these GPUs, and I bricked one right away. I disassembled it, took pictures, and then grabbed another one (not bricked) and tried to find a BIOS for it based on the pictures of the previous card, thinking they were all the same — turns out they’re not.

the GPU chip I posted:

The chip I was actually using:

So I unbricked the GPU from the photos, flashed the BIOS — still no info in GPU-Z, then Windows installed the driver — and boom, I could see the bandwidth, and 3DMark isn't even crashing anymore.


BUT I’m getting kind of a low score in benchmarks. I guess that’s because of the driver — I couldn’t install it through the AMD app(i'm running fully updated win10), and also not by selecting the files from the C:/AMD folder in Device Manager, but to be honest, I didn’t have much time for it. I’ll try again tomorrow.


Thanks to everyone who helped — really appreciate it!

There is not much difference between 215-0876204 and 215-0910052. Both are Polaris with 2048SP. Only part number 215-0910052 is binned for higher clock speeds.

Ahhh, unfortunately, even with a good BIOS and the latest drivers, this card still performs poorly — scoring only 3300 points in 3DMark Time Spy, while other RX 580s on the same setup get around 4500. I even tried overclocking it, and the best I could reach was about 3700. I think, as you said, these "Frankenstein" cards just aren’t designed for gaming — only for mining. Sad

Default core was 1206 MHz and memory 1500 MHz.

Does GPU-Z report the default GPU and Memory clocks correctly? Did you also try the earlier provided bioses on the other cards?

Yes, GPU-Z was also showing the default core clock as 1206 MHz and the memory clock as 1500 MHz. And i tried other cards, same score, same performance, with different bioses

Can you check if all the cards are the same except on part number on the gpu chip itself?

Yeah, I’ll check a few more, but I can’t really go through all 100 cards. I’ll update you Monday

Sorry, I didn't have time at all. All of those cards are the same and give the same low score in 3DMark with different BIOSes, but it's not a big deal. It's possible to sell them as a big rig, and I’ve also found BIOSes for some other Sapphire GPUs — there are about a hundred of them, and they work perfectly. So it's a pretty good compensation. Thank you all for the help
