Sapphire RX 460 Nitro edition isnt taking new drivers !

valedin.stelios · Jan 20, 2023

Hello, I have the Sapphire RX 460 Nitro edition and for some reason it wont work with any new drivers other than the ones that it came with (from 2016!) Every time I install Adrenaline it just shows that yellow triangle thingy on device manager and it wont work untill i re install the old drivers. Its driving me crazy, can someone please help ?!!

It seems possible that a VBIOS issue is causing this. Can you take a picture of GPU-Z and the white sticker on the back of the card?

Also, did you buy the card new at release, or is it a recent purchase?

valedin.stelios · Jan 22, 2023

Hey sorry for the late response, here you go:
Also i bought the card as part of a pre build in 2017 so its very much possible that it was shipped with near launch bios

Also ive never flashed the gpu bios

I'm sorry, I can't make out the stickers. Can you post a clearer photo?

Also, do you have any remaining warranty?

I will link a guide for you. Your GPU-Z screenshot shows that there is an issue with it.

what seems to be the issue ? Also thank you for the fast responses.

And no theres no warranty here

Unfortunately I still cannot make out the specific part number. The last picture was the right sticker, sadly it did not focus correctly.

valedin.stelios · Jan 22, 2023

sorry about that

Count von Schwalbe · Jan 22, 2023

Ok. I may need a bit more information later but I will get looking.

valedin.stelios · Jan 22, 2023

I appreciate it !

Needed VBIOS (I am not positive this will work, but it should):

Sapphire RX 460 VBIOS

4 GB GDDR5, 1250 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

Do you have any backup video cards? If this fails, you will need another card to recover it.

Also, use GPU-Z to make a backup of your BIOS.

valedin.stelios · Jan 22, 2023

Unfortunately i dont and the worst part is that im running a ryzen 5 5500 which doesnt even have intregrated graphics so if the gpu fails i wont be getting a video output. I did consider flashing the VBIOS myself but i just wasnt sure whether iy would fix the problem,

Count von Schwalbe · Jan 22, 2023

Under GPU-Z "advanced" tab, select memory timing and post a screenshot.

Otherwise, If you take the heatsink/fan off of the card and take a picture of the VRAM chips that will work.

Totally a BIOS issue. My XFX 460 takes drivers just as it should.
