[Help] BIOS of RX580 2048SP 8GB to better performance

[andresolid]

Hello friends, I hope you can help me with this RX580 2048sp 8GB video card that I bought on Aliexpress a few days ago. When the video card arrived I had many graphic failures until in this same forum I learned to flash the BIOS and I found one that worked for me, but the problem is that the performance is very low and it doesn't leave me happy.

I want to know if the experts in this forum can recommend me a BIOS that improves the performance of this graphics card, since I would like to be able to play online games and have more FPS.

This video card was Flashed with the BIOS of a RX570 that did not give me errors or crashes, but it is useless to play games.

This BIOS worked for me: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/192281/sapphire-rx570-8192-170322

I attach photos of the important data of the graphics card

Thanks for your help.

The fourth picture shows a card with a 6-pin connector, that is typical for RX 470 or 570. Flashing it to RX 580 would be stretching the power delivery for those 12.5% performance uplift...
However, if you feel adventurous, you can try this BIOS.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

Hold on a moment - the BIOS @pavle linked uses a Polaris 20 XTX (2304 shaders) die. What you have is a Polaris 10 PRO (2048 shaders).

Your best bet is RX 470 VBIOS files, as that is the type of card that used the Polaris 10 PRO die. (GPU-Z is only reporting the family, which is Ellesmere)

Let me look around and find some for you.

I forgot to mention that I tried several BIOSes of RX580 and had many failures. Even the graphics card did not start when I turned on the pc.

Can you try the following RX580 2048SP bioses with Micron memory support?

Hello.
First problem is : you bought a card from Ali
Second problem is : You did not start a casa against the seller for selling a fake card.
And now let's get back to our card.
In the pictures you uploaded, on the GPU must be a serial number - but in our case it does not.
@pavle said that because you have 6 pin connector you can't have RX580 and he is right.
But on the other hand you can have even a lower version of Polaris 10 like RX470 as @Count von Schwalbe said.
Using the current BIOS that comes for a RX570 and which does function is the best bet.

 

[VuurVOS]

@pavle said that because you have 6 pin connector you can't have RX580 and he is right.

RX 580 can be 6 pins but then it must be a RX 580 2048SP which is just a RX 570 with higher clocks.

The real question is, will it be stable with a RX 580 2048SP bios since the Polaris on the photo's has part number 215-0876406 which is a RX 470 for mining cards.

Model	Part number	Comment
RX 470	215-0876204
RX 470	215-0876406	Used on mining cards.
RX 480	215-0876184
RX 570	215-0910052
RX 580	215-0910038

@andresolid did you try the bioses which I've provided earlier? If you had artifacts with those bioses, please try the following bios since it has almost the same clocks as an actual RX 470.

Thanks to everyone who has responded and taken the time to help me. I have tried all the BIOSes that have been suggested with different results.

This BIOS when turning on the pc the screen appeared green. Then shut down the pc without success.

1) This BIOS (noname) when turning on the pc the screen appeared normal, but then lines and artifacts appeared

2) This BIOS (AFOX RX 580 8GB) was very normal. I didn't have any problems with the graphics, just that the performance remained the same or similar to what I tried when I started this thread (like the RX570 BIOS). This has been the only BIOS that has worked for me with the title RX580 2048sp on GPU-Z.

Here are some verified RX 470, in order of core clock - the lower ones are most likely to work as the GPU die is for mining, which means high core clocks were not required.

The potential problem I see is that your PCB may be a custom one, not used in retail gaming cards. Let us know how these ones go, and I will see what I can find if they don't work.

Sorry it took me so long.

Is it correct to try BIOS with another version? What has worked for me is version 015.050.002.001.000000.

Yup, version is much less important than compatibility.

I tried the gpu with the 4 Bios:

1) (Sapphire RX 470 8GB BIOS):
It worked, just slow graphics speed and poor performance.

2) (MSI RX 470 8GB BIOS):
Critical Graphics Issues/Green Screen

3) (MSI RX 470 8GB BIOS):
Critical graphics issues/Green screen and artifacts

4) (Asus RX 470 8GB BIOS):
No video signal lol

As I see it you/we have established that there is no way to turn your card into anything other than what it is, a RX_470, that can work at RX_570 clocks, but cannot unlock. You'll have to live with it or buy/get some other more powerful card. An interesting experiment though.

 

[Count von Schwalbe]

just slow graphics speed and poor performance

Can you run some benchmarks and show us what that looks like? That way we can see if it is something wrong, or just the RX 470 being a pretty slow card in general.

Passmark is a good option, and maybe 3Dmark.

 

[andresolid]

I don't think I will continue testing this graphics card, I am already wasting a lot of time without success.I will continue to use an old graphics card that I had in my PC
I already learned a lesson and I look forward to buying a new graphics card in the future. I think I'll throw this graphics card in the trash to forget about it.

Thanks guys to everyone who helped me, it's frustrating to have bought something and it doesn't work the way you want it to, but it was at my own risk.

Thank you all and you can close the thread.

I would advise you to do two things. First, go to AliExpress as soon as possible and open a dispute in order to get your money back. Provide whatever evidence you have, attach it as photo and video. The dispute can only happen within 2 weeks of the moment the order is marked as delivered - either manually by you or automatically by their systems after a given period. If the seller tries to offer you a partial or no refund, insist on a full refund. Even if you still miss the refund window, you can contact support. If you are polite, patient and persistent enough, I believe you can get your money back. I have had good success with this in the past.

Second, you could post the link to the item page and the seller's store profile so people can blacklist them and keep away. Now, I know people will just tell you to disregard this and just keep away from buying cards from the site in general, but I believe it could provide some help to people out there.

Sorry for your bad experience and best of luck!

Thanks for the advise and I will do everything possible to get the money back.

Good luck!

In the future, stay away from anything that even remotely mentions mining or hashrates - those are almost always mining cards. If they say nothing about it, it might not be.

I would suggest staying away from retailers that don't have a no-questions-asked refund policy, but I understand that price savings are always an attraction.

Also, do you mind doing a quick Passmark run? I am curious as to what kind of performance you were getting with the VBIOS files that actually worked.

 

[Nuke Dukem]

Also, something I missed: you could provide the green screen pictures to be more convincing. If support sees clearly defective stuff they'll be more likely to rule in your favor.

P.S. Please don't throw it in the bin. If the best BIOS you found lets it play Fortnite at low settings or something, consider donating it to some poor kid that could use it

Or it can be used as a basic display adapter for someone's work/home office PC.

Thanks for the advice and I won't do it again.

I tried to test the graphics card with FurMark, but I got a message that Opengl needed "FurMark requires an OpenGL 2.0 compliant graphic controller". then there is also a problem with the drivers apparently not being recognized (with old and new versions).

you're right, better donate it to someone who needs it. I will do that.

Thanks, but every time a BIOS didn't work for me I had to change the processor from another PC that had integrated graphics and change graphics cards. Start with Dual Graphics and a DVI cable so that the display would recognize me. In addition to changing the monitor, since mine only has HDMI and not DVI. But thank you again for the help.
