Thanks so much for the fast reply. It did not worked however. It is maybe just laser cut or there is nothing to be unlocked really. Attached is the screenshot for more details. Right is the original card bios the left is the modified one - no additional shaders unlocked unfortunately ...

I wonder if the HP EliteDesk 800 G4 mini PC's RX560 be unlocked? There isn't much listed about this GPU. I don't know if it's a mobile variant since it's in a mini PC.

yes it does work. i will attach the 1024 shader file... only hex edited and saved in PBE to fix the checksum.
EDIT: this is an HP Elitedesk 800 g4 mini/micro 1L with the rx560 dgpu.

Can a RX 460 4GB be unlocked to 1024 shaders? I can upload its bios later today if it's possible (as it's not in a PC currently)

Start with gou-z screenshot and a screenshot of memory timings page, sometimes crossflashing works

yes it does work. i will attach the 1024 shader file... only hex edited and saved in PBE to fix the checksum.
EDIT: this is an HP Elitedesk 800 g4 mini/micro 1L with the rx560 dgpu.
This gpu runs at 1069mhz at a so called 35w limit, power spikes 45-50w. No matter what setting i try in PBE, adjusting core mem mhz, power watts amps... nothing will actually change even though PBE sees the modified saved bios settings. I think somewhere in the HP mainboard or bios is an external limiter to the funky proprietary 8x pcie connector that this gpu uses. Because of this, even unlocking the shaders will put up nearly the exact same benchmark results, except maybe slightly lower scores with slightly higher temps. I have tried undervolting but nothing changes its 0.900v core voltage, even at idle. there are some fluctuations like 0.863v or 0.913v or whatever, but the card is hard stuck.

Using MSI AB, open, settings, extend official overclock limits, close, restart (never open msi ab again)... this lets AMD Catalyst tuning allow you to play with core mhz and mem mhz. But MSI AB has no control, and further vbios editing via PBE doesn't change anything at all related to watts amps core mem mhz. The hex editor obviously works, but again no real change in performance.

Also this elitedesk is special because it is the official dgpu version with a 150w power brick, unlike other standard 800 g4 or 705 g4 models that only come with a 90w power brick. These dgpu models also only come equipped with an intel "t" 35w variant cpu. Replacing with a non "t" cpu, as i have with a locked i7-8700 will further power limit the dgpu by about 25%. The i7-8700 without gpu load will go to 88w even though technically it is turbo limited to 122w, but performance loss seems negligable. You can use Intel XTU to artificially power limit the cpu to mimick a "t" cpu of 35/45w limit and gain back all the gpu(rx560) performance that is lost (the actual power limit is about 50w/50w before the gpu starts to suffer performance loses. The mainboard(motherboard) clearly is shunted somewhere but i haven't found the interest to find it and it is probably for a good reason.

The only thing i cant figure out is how to undervolt this rx560 as it seems completely locked down to 0.900v. stock clocks, stock overclocked, 1024 unlocked stock, etc, it always hovers around 800-1100mhz under a power virus. Obviously, pulling the voltage down and finding core voltage frequency equilibrium would be the ideal situation.

Ok unfortunately your bios would have to be modded as the 1 bios that is unlocked 1024SP 16 CU is for a Double Dissipation model. It would of been possible if your card was the Double Dissipation Model

The only bios for xfx 1024 SP

@Final_Fighter hasn't been around since 2022, maybe @siryoink might be able to?

Obviously, pulling the voltage down and finding core voltage frequency equilibrium would be the ideal situation.
I upgraded the hp bios on this machine to 2.23. It seems to have unlocked everything, so maybe the old bios i had was messing things up, or im an idiot. I unlocked 1024 cores, went into PBE and set the rx560 power limit to 50w, changed the memory to 1750mhz along with uber timings, and saved. Now im getting about 5900 graphics score (firestrike) compared to 4200 graphics score, which is perfect 42% linear scaling comparing 50w to 35w. I also have the upgraded (from i5 8500t) i7 8700 TPL (turbo power limits) limited to 50w as well using throttlestop and task scheduler. Quite a peppy little 1 liter machine i must say. Temps are still well within range usually hovering around 80c and peaking about 85c for both GPU and CPU. This has to be near the limit though as hwinfo64 shows 135w system power peaks and i dont know how much further would be safe to push the 150w power brick. Try at your own risk.

I have helped some crossflash a 896 card to 1024 with a comprable bios even. It takes alot of thought and time to do either method.

Hi y'all! I have a RX 460 with locked shaders and I was looking for an unlocked bios. Here's the screenshots:

Hey hey! Here's the unlocked BIOS for your card.
Aw man thanks! First my resolution looked a little bit off, so I reinstalled the drivers and it still looked off. Then I used the Pixel Clock Patcher and now it looks good! Thanks again! :clap:

Hi i flash this card some years ago . Can someone please upload the original file ?
i have tried to flash some rom files using the amdvbflashwin but i get the "Subsystem Id mismatch" error code.
I need the subsystem 0531

The program work because i test it in another rx card.
Thank s in advance

Hello. Please make a new thread. Here we are talking about unlocking shaders.
In the new thread please be so kind and make some pictures:
- PCB with bar codes and serials
- Serial from the shroud
- Open the card and make a closeup picture with good light source to memory chips and GPU - we need to identify them.

I make the new thead as you suggested.
I post in this thread because i read all 13 pages and i see that the most of the people here use GPU z
and is very easy to someone to check if they have the same device ID as my video card.

I did not mean to disterb or anythink in this thread.

Hey :)
Could someone please unlock my Amd Sapphire Rx 550 Pulse 2GB Single Fan (i bought it with 640SP)?
Do i then use the unlocked Bios file with SRBPolaris or amdvbflash?
Thank you, sorry i dont understand these things that well. (Yes i know it could brick the Card but that seems recoverable if i follow the guide in another forum post, im tired of so few fps, its only 80€ and old.)

Is it possible to get 1024 shaders or only 896?
Also it says Polaris 21 instead of Baffin, is this a 560/560X?

Thank you in advance :)
