Hello all, nice to find you !
Well, I got a second handed GPU - MSI rx580 armor oc 8GB. After downloading the bios and opening it with Polaris editor I saw some weird values that all other same msi gpus didn't have. And of course I could not find any such bios from the bios' repository here in techpowerup.
Also trying to flash any of the other bios' that the other cards use, just gave me a mismatch error- also I couldn't flash any with the command prompt. It gave an error with I don't recall right now
In the attached file I have the bios from the gpu so you can compare it and also same screenshot from gpuz. The gpu has Hynix memory and in straps it shows both Samsung and Hynix.
Also when flashing the Polaris modded bios version the gpu shows the same power consumption as the other gpus BUT I have to use 950 mV instead of the 850mV that the others use. Also if I increase the mem from 2000 to 2010 Mhz that gpu resets to 300Mhz, whereas the other normal ones my just start to show some mem error (as seen in hwinfo application)
Would be grateful if anyone could give an opinion.
Can I use any of the 2 bios from techpowerup (those 2 that have Samsung and Hynix straps) and do the usb-stick bootable way to force flash ?
** Also MSI sent me the "correct" bios, but it is only 256KB... anyway couldn't flash it because of the mismatch errors like I talked about above.
Thank you !
