Please help. Hello I have asus strix rx570 trhat i used to use for mining etherium years ago. I want to use this gpu now and it no longer works.
Fans spin on the gpu when i power my pc on for about 10 seconds then stop.
I currently have a nvdia gpu in my main pcie slot then my bricked rx 570 on the seocnd one.
I flashed the bios with amdflash 2.9 through the command line. Everything looks like it when correctly but in gpuz it still shoes 0 for memory and GPU clock. Bios shows that it is updated.
I know this card still works but i dont know what i am doing wrong.
Anything helps thank you guys :banghead::respect::fear:.

Take a pic of white stickers on the card, get a pic of a ram chip with letters visible, also a pic of the 215-**** number located on the metal shim surrounding the gpu die

It appears on my PCB that I have samsung memory. I only see a download micron on this website for my card. I also replaced my thermal paste when removing.

The memory is coloured yellow. That is a bad sign.
Please make a picture of the backside as well (second time asking this). We need to know if you have a C940PI0 or C940PI2 PCB.

No it isn't. Your card isn't running 1244MHz => https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-rog-strix-rx-570-gaming-oc-8-gb.b7723

This bios is likely the orginal one:

are you clean installing the drivers after every flash like you should? Because if you're not you get to go back and try them all again.

These vbioses are made for C940PI2 PCB:

I am about to throw this GPU at my wall. I am so lost i don't understand what im doing wrong. I am using the amd uninstall tool. then loading the vbios. After that i update the drivers. I still see 0 in GPUZ. if there is anyone that could jump in a discord call with me or have any other info i would greatly appriciate it. I know this card works. I dont understand why I cant see any display with this card. or why it it shows 0 in gpuz. Sorry for bothering you guys.

You can try AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher. If it works after that, it means the bios signatures of the bioses I have provided are f*cked up

I used AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher and nothing chnaged. Look into drivers after installing them what do you mean? I am willing to pay if someone can hop in a discord and fix my problem rather that trashing the card.

If you used AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher with one of the latest Polaris driver which r0sh shared and it still doesnt work it means your card will not work with the orginal driver and the bios signature check removed.

I pointed out earlier yellow coloured memory which is a bad sign. Asus coolers from that era dont cool memory. Card is very likely broken on hardware level.

Memory does look a bit on the "uh-oh" side of discolored.
