Flashing my XFX RX580 with another brand Vbios

[NebulaM78]

Hi all
I'm building a Hackintosh system that currently has problems with XFX cards. I would like to flash my card with another brand vbios like Powercolor or Sapphire. I notice that clocks for GPU and RAM are slightly different. Can I actually do that? Any ideas on the vbios compatibility or any suggestions?
Thanks for your help

If you do a search in the forum for flashing video cards, you'll find a wealth of information about the tools, the procedures, the gotchas, and the procedures for fixing your future bricked gpu. Make sure you find the threads about how why branding doesn't matter and which specs/components matter when you are flashing. One of the more important pieces is the memory. There specifically some sticky threads for flashing tutorials and unbricking.

Ohh Thank you for your prompt answer. Considering this GPU has double vbios if think it worth a try. I've been looking around and there's no fix for this specific brand. Cannot make it work with my system and cannot buy another brand. Since AMD GPU is the same I wonder if memory would be the second catch. If you could point me to the right direction I'd appreciate a lot!
Thanks in advance

Not the solution I would recommend but might start you on the path.

And may I ask what solution do you recommend? My GPU-Z tells me my XFX card uses Samsung Memories but I don't know if it shows all modules. Unfortunately no information for Sapphire version since it can bring Samsung or other memory brand.

First check what clocks, memory size (4/8), and which Samsung memory chips are used (K4G80325FB or K4G80325FC) and then flash from command prompt with the instructions here.
