Hello,
I bought a second hand (mining) Radeon rx470 8g gddr5 pci-e dvi-d (uefi, quad firmware)) card, i mostly do simple (eagle) cad work but wanted to do some 3d stuff and this card was cheap enough to give it a try.
Seeing all those threads and warnings about flashing a new bios onto a grapphics card and the possibility of bricking the card made me cautious,
so i wanted to ask for some guidance here on the forum.
I think i have the following card:
For what its worth It does not say mining anywhere on the card, I have seen some pictures of other cards where it does say mining on the sticker.
Also i can use the singe dvi-d output as a second monitor on some of the bios switch settings (but not all!) but cannot do any rendering for instance.
(i am not that knowledgeable on computer-tech!).
As you can see on the sapphiretech site linked above there are 2 switches to select between 4 bioses.
I can post GPU-Z screengraps on any of the settings. This is most confusing for me, on which of these 4 possitions do i flash my video bios?
Looking at techpowerup there is only 1 bios avalible for my card.. at least there is no indication of it being a nitro(plus)+ card anywhere. It says NITRO on the fans and Radeon rx470 8g gddr5 pci-e dvi-d (uefi, quad firmware) on the sticker.

Is that the right one? What bios switch possition should i put the card before flashing? should i post some screenshots before doing any flashing?
Thank you in advance for reading, any guidance is much appreciated.
