I switched to nvidia so I don't really have how to know (I don't really bother to check if something is wrong unless I actually notice issues and for that I need to have in my hands that particular piece of hardware). With me switching to Linux I need proper drivers, sorry to say this but Mesa devs mentality is not the right one and with such mentality you won't see things working properly (their aproach is that the software has to be coded to work with Mesa, but they ignore the fact that some software no longer see real development and that software was coded when Mesa was in a joke situation when nobody took it serious (else you wouldn't see real compatibility bugs closed with "NO OUR BUG")). Anyway it's becoming considerable harder to mod/fix things in the vbios for newer AMD gpus.

They keep adding various things to block users from modding the bios/vbios but I don't really see things done to improve the quality of the bios/vbios.
I don't have an issue with lockdowns to block the user from modding the bios/vbios as long as the manufacturer is comiting to provide bios/vbios updates as long as it will be needed (currently it doesn't happen) and to actualy bother to fix bugs (currently it doesn't happen) and to actually do real quality check on the bios/vbios (currently it doesn't happen).
Atm there is a high disrespect showed by manufacturers regarding the clients. They just rush unpolish products on the market and don't really bother to fix their crap and then they rush the next new unpolished product and so on (it's not only regarding gpu and mb it's about almost every single piece of hardware & software sold).
well couldnt be helped, youve bad experience using amd, enjoy the nvidia, both equal:toast:

Slow down, you have a blue fan shroud right?

Follow these links, and what is wrong exactly?

but what should I do with the BIOS? I don’t know. I applied 2 photos in a previous post, please help.

Calm down and think, just ranting and raving in panic for help is counter productive
What is the card doing or not doing correctly?

Just when the computer is turned on, the monitor shows the desktop and when I download the game, the monitor turns black and the computer continues to work and only rebooting helps. You won’t play games at all. I looked at the bios of the video cards and was horrified that they were upgraded to mining bali. I want to return the factory bios.

Ok and what specific power supply do you have? Be very detailed on the model number for it.

I will provide you 2 files, 1 that is max performance and another that is quiet.

Ok good your psu is well built.

Let me track some files down for you.

Do not flash both bios positions without verifying you can get back to desktop and not have a black screen after flashing and restarting.

Do 1 at a time

To flash the Performance Bios you must flip the bios switch to the right and keep it there until after flash and restart clock speed 1430/2100

To flash the Quiet Bios you must flip the bios switch to the left, keep it there, flash and reboot clock speed 1340/2000

If in event the screen doesn't come back on after restarting, turn the system off, flip the bios switch to the opposite position and power back on, then flip the switch to the position the bios failed and reflash with a different file

These are the Latest Performance Bios Available 1430/2100



If they fail try these files.



There is only 1 Quiet Bios 1340/2000


Get this tool and follow the Easy AMD/ATi flash video in my signature below.

Thanks a lot!!! You are my god. The flashing failed, quiet mode and overclocking. All games go on ultra-settings. But with the help of the utility, I corrected the fan response values and it got even better. The map is cold but a little noise. I will send you a photo of everything.

Screenshot_1.png --- Factory Mode
Screenshot_2.png --- silent mode
Screenshot_3.png --- in factory mode, how the fans spin
Screenshot 4.png --- This is a redone BIOS
Screenshot 5.png --- modified BIOS

Yes let us know that everything is working
I can attach this file if necessary.

There are those better than I out there, I just focus on this now mainly

Sorry to bother you

I think I am having an issue with my RX 580 Sapphire Nitro+ that I got refurb from Newegg.

I recently noticed the dual switch was flipped to the right when I got it and didn't check it until now. So i flipped it back to the left to the quiet settings after shutting down ofc.

These are readings on Idle

The left settings that the AMD reader is giving me is VRAM 2100

MHZ 1430

MV 1150

FAN SPEED RPM 0

CLOCK SPEED GPU 300 MZ


When I flip it to the right VRAM 2100

MHZ 1430

MV 1150

FAN 0 RPM

CLOCK SPEED GPU 300MZ

I was reading up with the previous comments and I think that both flipped switches give me the same settings.

Original purchase link : https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-radeon-rx-580-11265-21/p/N82E16814202370?Item=N82E16814202370

Does notice it said boosted 1430 on the description area


I would like to get this gpu back to its factory settings. Should I just follow your above post? Thank you for your time

The default is performance mode (1430/2100), what you're missing is the silent BIOS, if your card uses Micron memory chips (check before flashing).

Hello guys.
I have RX580 Sapphire Nitro 8gb with physically broken bios switch (plastic trigger has broken)
Maybe someone knows how to switch to another mode manually? (now it has limited core speed)

If you can't push it even with a bobby pin, you can try to flash it.

Post screenshots from GPU-Z. Main window and Advanced tab > AMD BIOS.
