Flashing a RX 5600 XT VBIOS

[OMGWBSZN]

Hello all,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I bought a used RX5600XT Pulse for cheap off Marketplace.
It appears that the card is an Asian Market exclusive, as it is a triple fan model instead of the dual fan model we commonly find in North America.
When I check CPU-Z and GPU-Z, the board manufacturer appears as PowerColor instead of Sapphire.
Some Googling led me to the conclusion that the card was probably flashed with a PowerColor BIOS and used for mining at some point in its life, which is probably why Trixx was not detecting the card.
I have managed to grab the correct VBIOS from Sapphire China.

Using AMDvbFlash, first I ran into an issue where the Partnumber between the two BIOS were not the same, but used -fp -p to override this.
Now I am having an issue with the IFWI's SSID is not the same.

What are my options?

Thanks in advance!

This bios seems to be a match.

Sapphire RX 5600 XT VBIOS

6 GB GDDR6, 1465 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

Alternative you can try this bios dump as well since it uses the same configuration file (416E1608.O05)

Sapphire RX 5600 XT BE VBIOS

6 GB GDDR6, 1465 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

You need to use amdvbflash v2.93 or v2.93+ to flash your card back to stock. Follow the mini guide below:

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!

vbflash v2.93 worked whereas v5.0.567 did not.

I ended up using the BIOS provided by Sapphire China and after flashing, GPU-Z shows the same BIOS Version and Device ID as the ROM links you provided.
It appears that this card shares the same VBIOS and Device ID as the North American Pulse BE, but uses a 3 fan cooling setup instead of the 2 fan one on the NA Pulse Cards.
Trixx 9.7.5 also detects this card as a Pulse BE.

One more quick question if you don't mind me asking; GPU-Z indicates my card is running at PCIe x8 4.0 instead of PCIe x16 4.0.
I have a Ryzen 5600X on an ASUS B550M Board and 2 NVME SSDs in M2_0 and M2_1; could that be the reason?

Thanks for all your help!
