thanks a lot mate ... if i may ask for another favor , which bios do you recommend based on the cooler design in the pictures ? .. the one with the low power profile or the one with the higher power ? thanks again

i tried editing the bios back to reference RX 470 but the Polaris bios editor simply wont allow me to edit everything .. anyway i edited it back to normal as much as i could , flashed it , reboot , clean install driver , got yellow triangle in device manager beside the rx470 and error 42 .. and back again to the main problem which is that i have to use atikmdag-patcher to remove the error every time i install the driver.. editing this bios wont work .. i will keep digging for as closest i could get for it's original bios

yes i have a backup of the mining bios and i will try what you suggested then update you

i have tried flashing several bios roms Like rx480 , rx 470 , rx570 bios One at a time with a full reboot and clean install of Drivers and in all cases it still gets detected as a rx570 .. the interesting thing is that with the rx480 and rx470 bios , the card worked fine under 3D laod .. but with the rx570 Bios the whole computer froze whenever i try initiating a 3D Load i'm starting to think it is indeed an rx 470 but why it wont be detected as so ? Included are 2 screenshots : 1 - the one that detects the card as Asus rx470 Series , this one is When i Ran the Card Without Changing the Bios that Came On it ( Notice how Core Clocks are Reduced and Memory Clock and Bandwidth are Increased ) Mining settings for sure 2 - the one that Detects the Card as Radeon Rx570 Series ( this is the Card Reading After Flashing RX480 Bios which Doesn't Make Sense )

if you Please check my post Below and tell me what you think ?

Hello Guys , I recently Bought the Card for a Good Price, the Seller Claims it is an ASUS RX470 4G , but it looks just like the ASUS DUAL RX480 4G OC ( Pictures Included of the Actual Card ) After Taking a Closer Look at The Card i Found the Following : 1- the Stickers Baring the Serial No. are Removed by the Previous Owner of the Card and i Can still see the Adhesive Traces , and another Fake Barcode Sticker is On the Card Labeled RX460 but it is a Fake one for Cheating on Customs Clearance ( Dealers do that to pay less fees ) so i can't Figure Out it's Original SN. 2 -The Card Has Back Openings for 1xDVI , 2xHDMI and 2xDisplay Ports BUT Actually it Has Only 1xDVI and 1xHDMI Ports and the Rest of the Openings are Empty ( As Shown In Pictures ) 3- i took the Card Apart and Found that : * the PCB No. is D000PI and when i Searched that up i Found that this PCB is for RX 480 * the Number On the GPU Chip is 215-0910052 and When i Searched That up , I Found that this GPU Chip is Actually For RX 570 4 - i installed the Card in my PC Downloaded Latest RX470 Driver From AMD Official Website , the Card was Detected as RX 470 But was Operating on Low Resolution , i Was Able to get it Operating on Full Resolution by Using AMD Patcher ( Obviously the Card had a Modded Bios Flashed for Mining Purposes ) 5 - from the look of the Card i Assumed it's an RX 480 with a Modded Bios to Under-volt it ( because the modded bios had the Core Clock set to 1085Mhz which is less than the Default for Rx470 or 480 or 570 and the Memory was set to 1800Mhz which is Higher than the Default but the Shader Units are 2048 i believe those can't be Modified by Bios Tweaking , i took a backup of that Bios , and Decided to Flash the Original Rx480 Bios and i did and Used DDU to Uninstall the Graphics Driver Before Rebooting , After Rebooting and Installing the Drivers Again Windows Detects it Now as an RX 570 , Tested it with Furmark and it Seems Working Fine But i still Not Sure of It's True Identity . I need Help Figuring the Card's Identity to get the Correct Bios and Drivers for it ,Because i don't want to be Running an RX470 With RX570 Bios . so if any of you guys can help me i would be very grateful Thanks

Hey Fellows ... I got the Card . I will be Uploading close up pictures along with details about it because this is getting more and more interesting..

Will be Waiting for your Feedback .. Hope they Get you a New One though .

this is a Common Malfunction in Gigabyte Makes . Same Problem Accrued in Several Gigabyte Rx 570 4G Cards .. if you are Still in Warranty Contact them for a Repair or a Replacement , if you keep Using the Card like this for Heavy Gaming you will Eventually Burn the GPU

Blower Design is Only Bad when it's on a Graphics Card with a Dual GPU Because then the Fan will Push Heat Generated from 1st GPU which is Closer to the Fan Out the Vents Crossing by the 2nd Gpu which is further from the Fan Causing it to Not be Properly Cooled , Other than that ,, Its Great Especially in the Systems where there are not much of Whole System Air Flow

The owner confirmed that it is an rx 470 and claims that he own a bunch of them and they all look just like this one .. he sent me a picture with a box full of them

I checked almost all the internet and never was able to find it either . Thanks bro i guess the only way to find out is to buy the card and enter it's serial No. In Asus web site. It is a good deal as a 470 .. there is a chance it could even be a better deal if it was really an rx 480

Ah I see ! ... Thanks for the quick reply .

Hey guys .. I was looking for a used gpu to buy from an online store .. and i found a good deal on the rx 470 4gb .. the problem is the seller sent me a photo of the card which is included in this post .. but i did some research on Asus website and i found that the card in the picture looks just like rx 480 Dual 4g OC and i also found that Asus dis not manufactur rx 470 8n this Dual ( white ) design .. so Could this card be an rx 480 flashed with rx 470's bios for some reason ? .. like pay low costumes for example ? ... Any guidance or help will ne appreciated Thanks

i believe if you accept playing games at Med of even Low Settings , you will be able to use the same GPU for like 5 to 6 years Regardless of Drivers .
