Hey guys.

I have just purchased an ASUS ROG STRIX RX 460 OC GAMING (4 GiB) as a cheap upgrade to my current integrated graphics solution (since it was cheaper than getting faster memory).

The part number is ROG STRIX-RX460-O4G-GAMING.

As I understand it, this model is equipped with 896 USPs and 56 TMUs, and that BIOS flashing used to be a thing around a year ago for these cards. I've seen forum threads and Reddit posts with people that have the RX 560Ds successfully flashing their BIOSes almost a year ago as well.

So, I'm just wondering. Now that almost 12 months have gone past with little to no mention, is the compute unit unlocking via BIOS flash still a thing?

Thanks.
