Hello, I recently bought this card from a miner who said that flashed it with the original BIOS but I suspect this is the wrong "performance bios" for this card and also I'm not sure if I have the stock "quiet bios" either...
The computer seems to be stable, at least no issues in 2D mode but I won't risk gaming before reverting everything to stock first.

Anyone can help me please?
Thank you very much!

Give me a moment and i will give all info needed

Here you go, just read all directions, make sure to flash 1340 position with the 1340 bios from the link and the 1411 position with the 1411 bios from the link below, get the flash tool from the link as well.

I started with the 1411 bios file and after rebooting the Radeon drivers won't recognize the card in Windows anymore.
Then I flashed again with the bios backup and everything seems fine.

Are you sure those are the correct BIOS files?

The gpuz ss you posted initially look OK, did you bk them up, if so reflash and put under 3d load, no need to worry if it's stock l bios it will work no issues, if not you'll likely get a crash, no buggy, just restart, there's no risk to the card in doing this.

It seems stable with the quiet bios.
With the performance bios I get sound distortion in games (sound is coming from the HDMI cable) and also occasional D3D errors and crashes to the desktop :(

Thanks!!

What is a good quick test for 100% stability?
I though it was Furmark but crashes and issues were in real games only...

Just run a game or 3dmark you should know straight away

There are more but see how you get on with those first
