Hello,
I have a reference Sapphire R9 290 that works with an ASRock B450M-Pro4 motherboard but won't work with Intel DH61WW and Gigabyte GA-H61M-D2-B3 rev 1.0.
The fan spins fast but no output. No detection by the mobos.
I was told that the R9 290 does not support booting with old motherboards and I should flash a newer vBIOS on it.
But I got confused: Should I flash an R9 290X bios or a newer vBIOS of R9 290?
And is anyone here already aware of this issue and have a good vBIOS that is known to fix the issue?
*Also, are these vBIOSes official? Or modded by someone? because I can't find any official vBIOS on the manufacturers websites (Sapphire / AMD), so I assume they do not support end-user to flash his own vBIOS? It's first time I'm messing with GPUs hence the seemingly newbie questions
Thanks
