Hi,
Can someone here please help me out ? I need someone who has more experience than I have as I am not sure what to do next. I will not hold anyone responsible for any suggestions, ideas, or procedures that you might give, if I brick the card, it is my fault and no one else's. But right now the card is pretty much worthless to me because it is not stable. I am not sure I have the correct vbios for this card, plus from what I read, there's a chance that this card is really a RX570 and not a RX580. I bought this card a while back and at that time I didn't know that some of these cards are repurposed or might have a mining vbios on them. I've included the Gpuz's info as well as photos of the card's front and back. I also included a shot of the glitch that always seems to happen. If you have any ideas or see anything strange, please le me know.
Thanks,
Gcard1

Your card is a RX580 2048SP which is an overclocked RX570.

This bios might be a beter match

Thanks VuurVOS for your reply. I kinda thought it was that, I will give that bios you recommended a try, hopefully that will work. I will report back after I see how the system works..
One thing, after I reflash the card, do I have to go back and get rid of the old driver in Windows 10 or do I just leave it like it is ?

Is this what you want to see, Eldairaman1 ?
Yes per bios installed on your gpu it states you have micron hf ram and not hfb ram

Thats not to say you might physically have hfb ram on the card, now that is internal tracking in bios as whats on micron ram starts with a D9 code whether it is hf or hfb, you might consider pulling the heatsink and getting a pic of a ram chip to decypher the D9 code

Here is a very current bios for the card if it has hf ram and not hfb.

Well, things didn't go so well. I thought I'd start of by flashing the card with that Showkings bios, it said the flash was successful but then I forgot to uninstall that flash program before I rebooted. Now, there's no output from the card at all. Luckily, I have integrated graphics so I was able to boot with that. What do you recommend I do now ? Hopefully there's a way that I can reflash it again, it said it couldn't read the rom now.

How did you enable the integrated onboard graphics? Did you set internal als primary graphics or did you remove the card?
