SOYO RX580 2048SP Original Bios

[tapialeorock]

Hello I'm looking for the original bios or another one that works with my GPU.

So I flashed a different vBIOS because I wasn't getting video output from UEFI and I was hoping that a different vBIOS image would fix this issue. But after flashing I am not getting video output from UEFI nor Windows, and I don't have a backup of the original vBIOS.

Before flashing I managed to get video output from Windows by installing the drivers using a remote desktop connection while the GPU was connected to my PC.

The system where I'm testing this GPU is a Thinkstation P510 (Xeon E5-2680v4, 64GB RAM, Windows 10 IoT LTSC).

It will be nice if someone can help me find a vBIOS image that works with my GPU.

First you need to get screen to be able to do a recovery. Do you have a system with integrated graphics?

Yes, I have a Thinkstation P310 with integrated graphics (Xeon E3-1275v5) and also I have an Nvidia Quadro P600 that I can connect to my current system (Thinkstation P510) to get screen.

I also forgot to mention that I'm able to flash vBIOS images using the command line method by connecting remotely from my laptop to my PC.

not to be OT but soyo back in the day had some cool mobos white dragon pcb and stuff

Hope you get that bios situated

I had never seen them before until you mentioned them, and yeah, they have cool pcb designs.
Thanks for the good hopes.

Alright, I will try those.

@VuurVOS thank you very much!!! You are a savior, I thought it was game over for my GPU, but you managed to bring it back to life!!!

This is the vBIOS that worked for me (Ethecoin RX 570 bios as @VuurVOS recommended):

AMD RX 570 8 GB VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1130 MHz GPU, 2000 MHz Memory

Now I get screen from my GPU in Windows, and not only that, I also get screen in UEFI from my GPU, something that I was not getting before with the original vBIOS!!!

Just as an additional comment, I noticed that my system boot screen now looks white instead of black, but a side from that Windows and UEFI colors look normal.

Spoiler: Boot screen image

I would like to stress test the card to see how it holds up, any recommendations?

3DMark or Heaven benchmark. It will give you an indication.

Did you try the other bios as well?

No, just the first one, but I also will give it a try to see if it works.

Well, the second vBIOS that @VuurVOS recommended bricked my GPU (my system wouldn't POST), so I had to rollback to the vBIOS that worked for me (Ethecoin RX 570 bios). To do so I used a CH341A programmer to flash the vBIOS following the hardware programmer flashing guide. My GPU's BIOS chip is a "windbond 25X40CLNIG", and in order to erase the contents of the chip with the AsProgrammer software I had to click the "Unprotect" button, and then I was able to flash the appropriate vBIOS for my GPU.

My GPU is no longer bricked, and it is still working as I had described:

Thats why I said might work Now you know vbioses with D00033 and D00034 are likely not suitable for your graphics card

I came across this thread and noticed they are using Sapphire bioses:

RX-570 mining card re-flash to regular bios "almost" worked

Took a chance on a pair of $50 "mining only" EtheCoin RX-570 thinking they might work with BOINC like my P106 and P102 NVidia cards. Got close, but close only counts in horseshoes. I put everything I tried at my GitHub account GitHub/jstateson some pictures of card rear of card front of card...
