CPU-Z doesn't recognise my VBIOS

Hi, I bought a RX 560 4gb on aliexpress. I have been using it for months now for playing videogames and I started having problems with it, mainly with Blender and Davinci resolve for video editing. Each time I want to render a video or put a folder to download a video the video editor closes. Also when playing minecraft an error shows saying I have an outdated BIOS. I tried updating it through windows but it says its already updated. I have been looking for a solution and came across flashing the vbios. So I downloaded GPU-Z and AMDVBFlash / ATI ATIFlash. In CPU-Z, Advanced, AMD BIOS, Part # it shows that my current bios is this one: xxx-xxx-xxx, and in amdvbflash, in current bios its written: P/N and nothing more. I cannot find my current GPU. Excuse me for my english and disinformation, I'm not very experienced in this field and could be wrong. Thanks in advance :)

Hello.
What card do you have exactly?
I understood that you bought it from Ali, but give us more details.
Some pictures would be nice to figure out that card do you have.
Be sure to make one from the labels from the card.
Put also a picture from GPU-z main screen, and one from advanced tab > drop down menu choose memory.

Cpu-z and GPU-z are different software. CPU-z is NOT our software.

Just letting you know.

OP wrote CPU-Z in the title, but the posted images are from GPU-Z

@op I am no expert on this topic, but if you can provide the pictures of the physical gpu, that Imperator suggested that you post, that will help the resident experts

Indeed, as you said earlier it is a "genuine"chinese product.
One of the lowest quality copy on the market.
But still, it is a RX560 after all.
All we care now is about the functionality of it not the brand itself.
Here you have a BIOS file that matches your card ID subID and memory code.

REMEMBER!!!! - first of all save your BIOS in a safe place before anything else!!!!

Here you have a small guide how to flash it:

Hello.
Well, you informed us that :
Also when playing minecraft an error shows saying I have an outdated BIOS
So, based on the error you received we were pretty sure (it is never 100% ) that you have a problem with your current BIOS.
Since you own a "real chinese" RX560, in the most cases you don't even find a replacement for your current BIOS.
I do not like to tease people.
That is why i tried to find at least 1 compatible BIOS file for your card.
