HI
Flashed my Vega 64 bios with a couple of the Vega 56 bios below. Using this for HiveOS.com crypto mining. Was getting some autoreboot errors so I tried a couple of the ROMs below. When I installed the Red Dragon ROM the system booted but no video and the card acts like it is not installed. Tried to reinstall the factory ROM and some others with no luck. Any insight would be greatly apprecieted. This is on a Linux system currently. Let me know if you need any other info.
Freaking out a bit at this point.

Thanks very much

Well I haven’t had a Vega 64 for probably over a year but what is your logic “downgrading“ your BIOS to a 56? I mean your current issues don’t really surprise me? DId you back up YOUR original BIOS? I mean you could flip to the other BIOS to get the original BIOS version to select the right one from that list.

There are several videos of people flashing the Vega 64 to a Vega 56 and getting lower power consumption with Hashrates over 50 MH/s. I Assume the 56 VBIOS would drop your power usage but other than maybe GPU load reduction resulting in more overhead to boost the memory I don't see the "why". Either way, I'll be trying it lol! I already use the OverdriveNTool for my OC and Undervolting so it's just a matter of the AMD Memory Tweaker Tool and writing a couple of batch files for streamlining. I have to see if the Vega 64 capable of 50-55 MH/s for myself despite it being confirmed because it has been an utter failure thus far in my miner (Glad I only have 1 Vega in there). Here's a pretty recent Youtube tutorial if you or anyone else has one of these. >
. Best of luck and Best regards.

I know a few ppl in Vanguard that had issues flashing those cards.. Try the other HDMI or DP port and see if that works... Im almost sure a flash renders on of the 2 unusable IIRC :oops:
