Hello
I've recently obtained a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB GPU in great condition however it was mined with for a few months. The previous owner was very transparent with me and let me know that a custom BIOS was flashed to the GPU, but I'm not sure how to identify which side of the BIOS switch has the custom BIOS loaded. When using the GPU with the switch to the left (closest to the display inputs) the card seems to be operating just fine with regards to temps after an initial purple screen which was fixed by reinserting the card. Running with the switch to the right (closest to the fans) result in the PC taking notably longer to boot, specifically between the POST screen and the Welcome screen (usually where devices are detected with that rolling dotted circle on a black screen).
Ideally I would like to load the default BIOS on both ends of the BIOS switch and would appreciate any help in doing so, if it's even necessary. Now, I've seen a few threads on the forum over here but have also seen that the specific model of the GPU is required, hence my own thread.
Any help would be really appreciated with finding the BIOS for the stock "quiet" (left) and "performance" (right) modes of the BIOS, along with links to using a flashing utility or a guide. Thanks in advance!
