Hello guys!

I While back i got that card second hand, it was used in another build but i didnt know the card had mining bios on it, because the seller didnt told me anything for that, so i found out like 5-6 months later, now the card im using it in my current build, and a friend helped me to see if it has a mining bios on it and he said yes it has a mining bios, and the symptoms i told him i had, like when i start my pc up, the card is trying to figure it out which is the main screen from my 2 monitors, and that for like 1 min until it fixes itself and find my main monitor etc. The other problem was when i installed it first time on my pc, my pc just goes to black screen, and i needed to reboot the pc like 5-6 times until image pop up on my monitor that the loading screen for windows starting from nowhere, but then when i installed drivers i had problems with them to install and didnt recognise them, now it works fine and recognising them. But i want to fix all those problems and with that i want help how to flash the bios on it with a original one without bricking the card, cause now its only that card i have on hand, and i dont have iGPU because i'm with ryzen 5 3600x cpu. So some help will be appreciated, i will post a photo from GPU-Z so yall can see.

I want to see some verification of this card.

Open GPU-Z again, click on the Advanced Tab, Then click on the V next to the word General and change it to Memory Timings, get a screenshot from there please.

Remove the card from the system, take a picture of the SKU sticker located on the side of the heatsink by the pcie blade.

Once you do that then a non mining bios can be tracked down. I have the bios flash guide in my signature.

Hello!

There are the pictures.
With that written, your card should have a dual bios switch located on the edge opposite of the pcie blade, there is a notch in the backplate that has it. If you flip it, reboot then see what gpu-z reports

This is your SKU below, E366 bios is working and matches the pcb and the sku on the heatsink.

Yeah some cards came with a silent or compute bios but With that we will overwrite the 1200 mhz bios with the Performance bios

Your card uses hynix mjr ram, so give me a moment to find something
