You likely have a "mining" bios installed

I will get on it

That is for sure a Mining card.

Let me see if we can do an experiment to get a higher clock rate on that card

Here is why, a single dvi-d port constitutes that along with low clock speed www.newegg.com/amp/sapphire-radeon-rx-470-11256-31-21g/p/N82E16814202292


@MrPotatoHead @infrared @Final_Fighter might be able to take your existing bios and compare memory timings from your bios and these below.

I wouldn't flash any bios below due to fact rx470s do not have a bios switch on them and most average joes do not have a spi flasher.

Here is 1 bios, 1236/1750, it is verified, has Samsung ram and Subsystem ID 353E matches


Here is one but with a ram Overclock to 2000


Heres one that is for both a RX 570 and 470


These say Mining but might be ok as they are same sub system ID 353E and are Samsung Ram, 1236/1750.






@wcryan I want you to open gpu-z again and attempt to upload your gpu bios to the VGA database. In GPU-Z click the arrow next to the UEFI check box, attempt to upload it to the tpu vga bios collection, it should notify you the bios is already in the database and provide a link to the bios file, copy that link and post it here please.
