Hi, you were right, i used atikpatcher and my modded bios was recognized, but the second part of the problem is that i cant overclock, i mean it does not increase the performance.
So what i did next i copied the 1350 memory string and pasted to the 1750 which is default and that's what gave me 690 hs then i overclocked the core to 1450 and now i have 720 hs.

Which memory is on the card I will give a mod a try on it in a bit

Give this a shot. It might need more memory clock to get the best performance
I tried it but it crashes at 1875+ mhz memory clock, at this clock i get similar results as my moded bios ~660 hs. I think this is the maximum my card can do...

I have another strap I can try with this one. That one is a good bit tighter and it normally can do 870-950h/s

Hello there, sorry for just joining here and asking for a solution for my problems, but I recently bricked my Sapphire Reference Design RX 480 8G by flashing a faulty BIOS and it would be amazing if you guys had any ideas.
At first I couldn't even boot to windows but with help of a paperclip and the 1+8 method i managed to succesfully boot, with the "dead" GPU installed, from my iGPU. Then I tried a couple of things:
-ATIwinflash, shows me: Independent ATI GPU cant be found (something along those lines, I translated it)
-ATIflash via administrative command prompt: -i adapter not found. If i try -f -p 0 bios.rom it says: Adapter not found ERROR: 0FL01
-made a bootable USB and tried flashing via ATIflash in DOS, with the same result, Adapter not found ERROR: 0FL01
-I installed the GPU in the 2nd PCIe slot and repeated the steps above

Strangely the GPU gets recognized by GPU-Z to be a RX480, and also the UEFI system Browser shows a generic ATI card in the PCIe slot.
Unfortunately ATIflash doesn't find an adapter installed now matter what i tried.

I would really appreciate every suggestion you got for me!


EDIT:
I managed to see my RX 480 in ATIflash while i hab another dedicated GPU installed in the main PCIe slot, -ai tells me this:
Adapter 1 (BN=07, DN=00, FN=00, PCIID=00001002, SSID=000067DF)
Asic Family : Polaris10
Flash Type : R600 SPI (64 KB)
No VBIOS

-i command results in this:

adapter bn dn fn dID asic flash romsize test bios p/n
======= == == == ==== =============== ============== ======= ==== ==============
0 01 00 00 6938 Tonga M25P10/c 20000 pass 113-4E3081U-X58
1 07 00 00 67DF Polaris10 R600 SPI 10000 fail -

when I try forceflashing after this it always says:
Failed to read ROM

ERROR: 0FL01


Weirdly I can't seem to find it via BIOS version of ATIflash, only via the cmd prompt.

I attached the ROM file I used for flashing the RX 480, it's the bad.rom and the stock.rom file wich I'm hoping to get back on the card.

2. EDIT:

I managed to fix it by myself! In case it helps anyone for the future I tell you what I did:

1. Boot over another dedicated GPU with the bricked GPU installed in the system by using the "1+8 Pin Method". It is very important that you are later able to remove the short with the GPU's installed.
2. Boot into Windows safe mode and deinstall all remaining display drivers by using DDU.
You gonna need a 2. dedicated GPU since at least for me booting over the iGPU did result in "No Adapters found" Error in ATIflash.

3. Boot into Windows run a CMD prompt as Administrator and use the atiflash -i command to see if your GPUs get detected. In my case the RX480(bricked card) stated fail.
4. Now close the CMD prompt and remove the 1+8 short you have done with something like a paperclip.
5. Reopen a CMD prompt as Administrator and repeat the ATIflash -i Command, now in my case it wouldn't say fail anymore
6. Use the CMD prompt to Flash your GPU with a working BIOS

Thanks a lot anyways

Any mod worth using for a R9 280/x? I have it OC'd to 1100/1500 (and can prolly push it a bit farther) thats doing Equishash @300 H/s.

http://www.overclock.net/forum/67-amd-ati/1554360-tahiti-memory-timings-patch-hynix-vram.html

Tighter timings on all Tahiti memory types are discussed in that thread. Not just Hynix. I use the patch on my 280X(w/ Hynix AFR) for benching(all kinds of benchmarks including compute). And it definitely works. I get artifacts though. So no good for gaming.

aftrer reading most of that, its only minor gains not worth accidentally trashing that card. thanks for the link.

Hi to all! :)
I need help... can any of you guys tell me where to find or send me modded bios for MSI RX470 8gb GamingX Micron memory graphic card? :)
It's on 22.7mhs... and no matter what I do, I just can't make it hash more ...
I also need one for Gigabyte RX560 4gb Gaming OC Mycron and Hynix memory
They are on 12mhs, same story :/
Here is the original bios for them...

THANKS!!!!!

Silly question. Are you in “compute” mode in your Radeon settings? That should help speed it up for starters if not.

to be honest, I don't know ...
I cant access radeon settings to check...
on one machine where is rx560 card there is no radeon settings and i can't install it, becouse of some installation error...
and on other where is rx470 card I can't access "global settings" it's always crashing ...

I managed to get into settings but there is no "GPU Workload"... what now? :)

I’m no expert on this stuff so someone else please speak up.

Is this the latest version of Radeon drivers? I know the GPU workload is relatively new (like last 6 months).

What version of Windows?

I use 18.2.1 with my rx 570 and the option is there. Makes my hash rate go from 24-25 to 31-32!

yeah I would suggest the following right now. Again, not an expert. But this is what works for me so far.

I would suggest you run DDU, then start fresh reinstall the newest drivers from Radeon. And see what that gets ya.

Yup. DDU in safe mode, then 18.2.1 is what fixed the workload option and gave me the best hash rate. That one for the RX series and 15.12 for the r9 I have.

Did you set your driver to compute mode? I went from 25-26 mhs to 30-31 just by changing this settings. I use the 18.2.1 drivers btw.

Have you tried running DDU? And starting over with fresh Radeon drivers downloaded from their website?
