Flash VBIOS to turn RX 580 2048SP into RX 570

[VuurVOS]

I understand your thoughts, however I think in my case is extremely unlikely that the other guy graphics card and mine have different components, I would like if possible to try first with those informations that I have right now and if somehow nothing works maybe I’ll need to open the graphics card to see by myself, I’m pretty sure that I’ll don’t need to do that.

You are asking people which are dealing with this very often. Please provide pictures of the PCB with the cooler disassembled otherwise we are unable to help

Most VBIOS files have support for 2-3 different types of VRAM, because manufacturers (especially of the RX 400/500 series) throw together whatever chips they can get thier hands on. We really need physical verification of the VRAM chips, because flashing the wrong BIOS could put you in a situation where you cannot recover the card without a hardware programmer, such as the CH341a.

VRAM: 8FB77 D9VVR
ASIC: 215-0876406

I think you guys are right, it was really a good ideia to open the graphics card and take a look at the chips, here is the two informations of the chips that I saw, also i'm very sorry for my last reply

Hello, I'm trying to do a similar thing with a card which came with this bios https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/218574/218574 (trying to upload the bios from gpu z told me it was a duplicate).

I noticed that the "Find compatible BIOS" button showed nothing. Is it not possible to safely flash this card to a 570? (i'm also trying to make a hackintosh)

D9VVR => MT51J256M32HF-80:B
V341 on PCB means it is a MSI PCB.
Version 2.2

Likely this is the orginal bios with micron support : (Part number: 113V34122-F3 => V341 VER 2.2)

MSI RX 570 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1268 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

This bios with micron support will likely not work: (Part number: MS-V34114-F3 => V341 VER 1.4)

MSI RX 570 VBIOS

Please remove cooler and provide a clear picture of the PCB on both sides so we can determine which bios might be the best fit.

well, the first BIOS that I tried worked pretty well on Linux however on MacOS didn't worked, should I try the second one?
I got a black screen with the first one, the funny thing is if I try with the original bios it work with MacOS however I can't get any graphics acceleration

No, that one is likely not compatible due different board version. The first one is the orginal bios for that PCB. Can you validate if Windows is detecting the card properly?

I think you need to use a different bios. This D00034 bios might work with MacOS. Try at own risk:

ASRock RX 570 8 GB VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1270 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

those are the screenshots of the last BIOS that I tried, this one that you told me to try didn't worked too, Linux worked with that BIOS but MacOS still have the black screen issue..
I wonder why this is happenning exactly, MacOS really doesn't like my GPU

Did you make a backup before flashing any vbios? First we need to get this card working properly under Window.
Can you make a full picture of both PCB sides?

I got a way to make the drivers to work, it was my Windows ISO causing this issue, I changed the type of Windows and now is working, as you can see those are the full informations on GPU-Z with the latest BIOS that you said to me to install

now about opening the graphics card again i'll try to do it now, and yes I have the original BIOS saved here

Good to see the card is properly detected now in GPU-Z. This Asrock bios should work with MacOS.

I tried to install this Asrock BIOS that you told me to install but it didn't worked...I'm really not sure why
here are some photos of my graphics card

Please be more specific? What didn't work? I see it is properly detected in Windows and the driver is installed.

That ASRock RX 570 D00034 bios is a working for someone else in MacOS and since Windows is detecting it properly, it should be working:

Turning a RX580 2048SP into a RX570 for MacOS support

Bios seems to be based for a XFX card since the configuration header is XFX_POLARIS20_D00034_XL_GDDR5_8GB\config.h But boot string is conflicting: D00033 580S A1 GDDR5 256Mx32 8GB 300e/300m The following bioses have boot string D00034 with Samsung K4G80325FB support...

As you can see with this two videos I tried with the ASRock BIOS that you said me to try and the original one that came with my graphics card, MacOS seems to work with the original even though the graphic acceleration doesn't work while the ASRock and all the others that I tried only shows a black screen, I tried to check this black screen problem and second the devs of OpenCore says that the issue is because of the GPU, so this BIOS is detected in Linux and Windows but MacOS just refuse to use it, it seems that the only thing that really should work for me is a good BIOS for me, I tried to search for a lot of BIOS but....I didn't got any success, what do you think is causing this issue?

Did you try all the output on the graphics card with the ASRock bios installed? It is possible it just don't give any output on just a specific output. Maybe the same happend with the MSI bios earlier?
Can you run a 3D benchmark/test under Windows?

Some other D00034 bioses of major brands which you can try at own risk:

8 GB GDDR5, 1270 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

My friend…when you said this to me, I tried with the others outputs that you said and I discovered that the AsRock bios actually works, the output 3 and 4 works very well but the output 1 and 2 sadly doesn’t seem to work on MacOS (but on Linux works very well) and with that I got success to install MacOS with this method, I’m so glad of that! It’s sad that the others outputs are not working but having two outputs is already fine for me, I think I’ll stay with this bios, I’m not sure if I should change it or not.

Maybe the MSI bios provided earlier also worked fine? It could be the outputs are not activated during install. Did you try to enable it after installation with a second monitor on output 1 or 2?

Well, I don’t think so
Even after the installation those others ports doesn’t seem to work neither, only 2 ports. But the rest of all seems completely fine! I’m pretty happy that the MacOS is running great with this BIOS

i change my rx580 2048sp bios to rx570

windows working kind a good but sometimes it lagging the input i made

i tried mac os installation menu totally purple screen

this is the bios i downloaded

this is the orginal bios

any way to fix this

Wrong bios.
K4G80325FB != K4G80325FC
D00034 != E353

Please try this bios instead:

Do not flash the VBIOS you linked. It is not compatible.

I will look for a compatible one when I get a chance.

Can you also help mine?
I got an AISURIX RX580 2048SP and I wanna flash 570 vbios to it cuz its crap I keep getting black screen/ no display when im playing something like Minecraft or even just browsing internet

Hmm i remember inserting the Samsung Memory.. some pic duplicated.. I believed it was K4G80325FB...

anyways.. I postponed the plan to flash vbios.. I decided to get a refund since its still new.

Hello MeguminXplosion, can you make a clear picture of the PCB and memory?

 

[MeguminXplosion]

I'll try that if im out of options. For now, earlier today. I tried to get a refund. If accepted, I'll return it to seller. If not, I'll file a dispute. It's currently new tho.. It just arrived yesterday. So I'll refrain the plan for flashing VBIOS for the mean time.

Did you return it, it certainly had a mining bios on it

Hi, I did return it(so-so)... I went to a courier of my choice a while ago and shipped it back to seller. All I have to do now is wait for it to be received and get my money back.

Where did you buy the card through to begin with? Ebay/amazon have buyers protection where if seller withholds funds, they will pay you and then go after them
