NOT another 2048sp identification

[Notenoughhairspray]

Hey guys

David from Sweden with another thread asking for help with identifying a 580 2048sp. Help me out I got a card with single fan (one speed) 8gb, Samsung memory, works with drivers but would like to give it a gaming bios maybe with normal fan adjustment if possible..

I have picture of GPU-Z will post when I come home.

thanks every one

Please provide a clear picture of the whole PCB. Currently we are missing a large part of the top side of the PCB.

Can you confirm Samsung K4G41325FE is written on the memory chips?

I’m sorry I have fixed that now! Yes K4G41325FE on plate next to GPU we have
215-087640. Attached gpu-z

thanks king!

They are

Its interesting to see a card with 16 chips to make 8Gs though.

I see a RX588X16-V30

This bios might be a beter match:

AMD RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1244 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

You guys are awesome! I will update

Worked perfect, fan still 100% all the time but other than that no more mining bios YAY thanks @VuurVOS

Being a 16 chip card and a single fan, it needs all the help it can get, thats a part of why some cards run at high speed

I've found two other bioses with different bios build dates. They should work but try at own risk:
Older bios build date:

AMD RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1244 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

Newer bios build date:

AMD RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1244 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

Are these 16-chip variants just rebadged RX570 4GB models that went back and had more GDDR5 soldered on to repurpose them for the mining market in a hurry?

I can't imagine 16 * 8 Gigabit chips ever being cheaper to make than 8 * 16 Gigabit chips on one side, but I can imagine a bunch of unsold 4GB cards sitting in an AIB's inventory at the height of the ETH mining boom and being sent back to assembly to have some more chips thrown on the back.

Off-topic: There is even a RX580 (2048SP) 16GB card on the market

 

[eidairaman1]

The 2048 sp is the typical mining edition

 

[Notenoughhairspray]

Could this be 16GB? Is it possible to verify somehow?

No your card specifically here is using 4Gb/512MB/0.5GB chips to make 8GB total.

If you want to take the time you can get 8Gb/1024MB/1GB Chips and a custom bios to have 16GB total. But you must have good tools and soldering skills.

By the time you do that, you'd buy a RX 7600 XT, 7800 XT, RX 6800, RX 6800 XT, RX 6900 XT, RX 6950 XT, RX 7900 GRE, which those would out perform a card that is Pushing 8-10 yo in arc now.
