Hold up just a moment, I would like to see your sku sticker from the og heatsink and a gpu-z screenshot, then while in gpu-z click on advanced tab and select memory timings (if available) screenshot that. Also on the main gpu-z screen click on the black arrow next to the uefi checkbox and attempt to upload the bios through GPU-Z to the Vga Bios Collection/Database. You should get a warning with a link to the bios, post it here. I need to study all the details.

This is how I got RDNA 1 cards to crossflash correctly.

I cant read the Rom file, within gpu-z you try to upload it from there th the vga collection and you should get a warning with a link to the file.

Nvmd i saw the gpu p/n.

Anyways don't use those files above use this 1.

Sapphire RX Vega 64 VBIOS

8 GB HBM2, 1590 MHz GPU, 800 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

Your card

PULSE RX VEGA56 8G HBM2

<p>Up to 1512 MHz, 8GB HBM2, Dual-X cooling</p>

www.sapphiretech.com

Just flash 1 side of the bios switch and verify it boots up.

Vega 64 and 56 had different shader counts, so in this respect you will possibly unlock the additional shaders with the file above, you can use Sapphire Trixx or MSI Afterburner to push it further or more power tool on igors lab even.

I will try to find a nitro bios that is as close to your card as possible but the 64 file I found above is 99% guaranteed it will work.

Its all in the ram and board part number used

Try the file above on 1 side of the bios switch and remember it, keep the other side untouched
@Morgoth

Well the bad news is That I checked all Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro files and non of them contain Hynix Memory in them. So the File Above is your only bet.

i tried to flash it it says *Vbios not found*

Which amdvbflash version are you using?

AmdvbflashWin or amdvbflash?

 

[Morgoth]

amdvbflash_win_3.31

amdvbflashWin.exe

 

[eidairaman1]

Did you install the driver from the zip folder and open the winflash version with administrator rights?

The file download above I provided change its name to svg64.rom

 

[Morgoth]

ok sure and yes

 

[eidairaman1]

Tried again?

 

[Morgoth]

[eidairaman1]

Yeah make sure to use 2.93 tool for now

 

[Morgoth]

2.93 doest work at all gives me all kind of errors

Dumb idea with the prices of a GPU today. Still a good backup card to keep, why risk bricking it? If you can find one for 50 dollars on ebay go ahead. I had a 390 X as my daily 2K driver, when it gave up the magic smoke I had zero options for a reasonably priced used card.

I have helped many restore or crossflash GPUs even fake gpus restored from a 1050 to a 550ti/450GTS.

@impero and @Zach_01 have the same experience.

Screenshot the errors

As @eidairaman1 said, we managed to help many forum members to flash a correct version of BIOS to video cards or to crossflash them.

And you get those errors when trying to run amdvbflash from the cmd prompt?

What does windows event viewer say about it?
