I have this card that I need to flash a bios to allow me to game on it. I know it is an old card and that I should probably toss it, but I wish to use if possible.

I know how to flash bios I hope to hear from the experts here which bios to flash on it (if an rx 570 bios would works that'd be great!)

some info
:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_67DF&SUBSYS_353E174B

P/N: 113-2E353FU.M58


if you guys need any more info please let me know!
Thank you so much

Remove gpu heatsink and get a picture of a ram chip please, no guarantee a mining card will be able to display anything

ERROR: 0FL01

===========
do we need to bruteforce this ?

Ok lets find something hopefully

That is a mining bios as well. I am not sure if that is a good idea.

@RayRayMM
Can you try these bioses as well?

Please follow the flash guide of eidairaman1 (see quote) and only use AMDVBFlash version 2.93
For RX 500 Series (Polaris) and Older:

Get amdvbflash 2.93

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/

Then look for Version 4.68, underneath 4.68 you will see a link to show older version, click that and you should see version 2.93

Follow these steps carefully:

1. Open your "C:" drive in Windows, create a new folder, call it atiflash.

2. Extract the contents of atiflash_293.zip to the "C:\atiflash" folder

3. Find the bios file you downloaded and rename the bios file to 5 digits with .rom on end Example RX 580, change file to rx580.rom (r****.rom)

4. Move r****.rom to the "C:\atiflash" folder

5. Open the start menu, type cmd, when cmd.exe appears right click it and hit "Run as administrator"

6. At the command prompt type in cd\ and press enter until only C:\> is on the screen.

7. Type in cd/atiflash and press enter, you should see C:\atiflash>

8. Type in amdvbflash.exe -i to identify the gpu you want to flash with a 0, 1, or 2)

9. At the C:\atiflash> prompt type in
amdvbflash.exe -unlockrom 0
(there is a space between the e and -unlockrom and 0)(0 is the number zero)
press enter and you will be prompted that the "ROM Unlocked" (or 1, 2)

10. At the C:\atiflash> prompt type in
amdvbflash.exe -f -p 0 r****.rom
(there is a space between the .exe and -f, and a space between -f and -p and 0).
(Or 1, 2)

Press Enter

Follow directions on screen and if flash is successful exit the command prompt and restart, windows should show up on screen.

Thank you so much. The first bios worked and the card now takes drivers and passed benchmarks.
I wonder ifnthe hardware and bios mismatch (being 580 bios on 570 chip) would.make problems in games that seek resources that don't exist ‍♂️.

But it's ok as long as it can basically run the games now

You’d notice that quickly through a harsh frame drop or crash but generally no, people use these “wrong” bioses on related cards since a long time and they just work normally, you won’t get any extra performance though.

Considering rx570s can be rx 580 2048SPs, looking at the chip model physically will let you know

That’s the thing though, a 570 and a 580 2048 are the exact same product just with different marketing for the weird Chinese market. They were not released here, as we don’t like stunts like these.

That's quite interesting.. do you know how I'd check if the card I have is a 2048? No purpose other than fun exploring I guess.

In GPU-Z you can see it only has 2048 shaders. (edited for clarity)

Pull the hsf off and look for a 215 number on the chips metal plate

In GPU-Z you can see it only has 2048 shaders, otherwise on the card itself, the marketing of it, the driver name perhaps.
Rx 470 is straight up 2048 SP, only the 470D is like 1792 SPs
