Hi. My screen does some weird flickering. In games, desktop - doesn't matter. Can this be solved by other bios? I already tried one but all I could see was blue screen. I had to restore my backup.

I tried this - https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/168873/msi-r9280x-3072-140302

My current is attached. (Change extension back to ROM, it didn't let me upload it as rom file)
PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6798&SUBSYS_27751462&REV_00\4&1286464&0&0008

Reach out to msi, they might provide you with a fixed bios

The reason that BIOS didn't work is because it only supports Hynix H5GC2H24BFR memory. Your card has Hynix H5GQ2H24AFR. You can try other BIOSs, just make sure they support Hynix H5GQ2H24AFR. Or you can try editing the BIOS you currently have with VBE7. It's not a bad idea to ask for help with the issue on the MSI forums.

BTW that BIOS you uploaded is pretty much useless. Since you can't convert a text document to a rom file. If you want to upload a BIOS rom file put it in a zipped folder first. There's no need to though, in this instance, because it's the same as this one here.
