User @MrGenius used to do GOP updates to card bios, so your services would be good here
Open GPU-Z, click the arrow next to the Uefi checkbox and Upload the bios through GPU-Z to the VGA Bios Collection/Database, make sure your description has the SKU info mentioned from the sticker on the card.
Also a GPU-Z screenshot would be nice

Ask him if he would come here to do his work, we once in a blue moon need GOP updates on bios.Bios is uploaded to data base
I must admit I just followed the instructions from lordkag @win-raid
Big THANKS to this magician
@Mussels testifies on this.
I found it, it is a very old bios as there are others from 2015 and 2017. If anything Id mod 1 2015 bios as the 2017 bios only have samsung ram.Bios is uploaded to data base
I must admit I just followed the instructions from lordkag @win-raid

Once one understood the advices, it is quite straight forward.
If you want me to I could do a few mods, but someone else would have to do the testing.
Just to figure out if it works...
The one above took me half a day, including restoring (had an additional card to resurrect this one) but I think I got it now.
Old, but funktional.
The only one available for Sapphire I thought.
Here is the result on 2015:
Appears to be stable
Find ROM in Database or use file attached
Also tried the 2015-09-30, big s..t!
Boots, but renders Windows desk useless.

From the GPU-Z screenshot it looks like the driver Windows 11 provides is very basic, no wonder, ATI VLIW-5 cards (up to HD 5870 and small 6xxx refreshes) have been unsupported for quite a while. The latest win10 driver is from 2016 - v16.2.1beta. Well as long as it is useful.
Appears to be a driver problem..
After installing Catalyst 15.7 driver (must select manually) clock indication is ok:

What are the benefits of a UEFI graphics card BIOS? Is it primarily for Windows 11 compatibility?

No, they are not all the same, different skus, device id/subsystem ids, ram-type/brand/model.
The only way to know is to get gpu-z get a screenshot, then go to advanced tab and look for Memory Timings (change the word general). Also removing the heatsink and getting ram chip pics. With sapphire cards getting a sku/part number sticker puc.
Thank you, but just to make sure I understand you correctly, even if the SKU number is identical, that alone is not a certainty that it is the correct card, but I would then have to check the other things you mentioned?
