Found a vBIOS from a random thread of unlocking RX560D shaders from 896 to 1024. A random person uploaded their Yeston RX560D 4GB GDDR5 Micron memory to be unlocked. I tried that vBIOS and it causes system hang whenever the driver is installed without needing to use ATIKMDAG patcher. Something else must be wrong with this card but at least we now know that it is in fact a "Yeston RX560D-4G D5 TA". Thanks to 191x7 for the very swift identification of the card. I don't know how long it would take me to identify this card without his help. With that said, this thread is done. Thanks ya'll.

Oh we are getting close. Anyone knows of a DOS compatible AMDVBFLASH / ATIFLASH / AMDFLASH that has "-f" or bypass SSID mismatch and knows RX560 exists?

Found a haven of Yeston vBIOSes

Hello, I figured that running CMD as admin prevents the amdvbflash from opening a separate terminal window and closing immediately upon completing its task. Now i've got these: At first I tried flashing and got an error, found on a thread somewhere that disabling the card helps a bit in flashing. So at 2nd time, I had the card disabled and it did get me further. But it is still a fail. I don't understand why it won't complete a flash but here's an "amdvbflash.exe -i" the test still says "pass" Anyone knows what's up?

I think I'm close to figuring out the problem. All of my previous flashes I've assumed went successfully. amdvbflash always simply disappears after flashing, the report only appears for a fraction of a second. This time I tried recording it, i've figured out that it actually fails. And the vBIOS won't be readable depending on how much was programmed into the chip. This first flash I tried with the 015.050.002.001.000000 vBIOS After it failed, I couldn't get GPUz to read its vBIOS and ATIFlash GUI version would just say "Error reading from ROM" Only the CMD one works, but only after a restart. I kept trying, each attempt different value of programmed bytes. The command I use is "amdvbflash.exe -f -p 0 (vBIOSFile).rom" Is the chip itself the issue or is there any other parameter I can use with amdvbflash? For now I will try to download a version of amdvbflash that's a bit older.

Before I rebooted, I tried to do a little searching. It got me vBIOS "015.050.002.001.000000"

[UPDATE] So I flashed this After restarting, the GPU is now recognized by GPUz as "RX550/550". Same situation in Device Manager. AIDA64 thinks it's an RX460 though? also clicking on "lookup" in GPUz also shows RX460 (https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-460-1024sp.c2918) Also realized that this vBIOS from TechPowerup is similar to the vBIOS this GPU first had when it arrived. hmmmmmm. Curiously, based from the marketing images of a listing from Aliexpress The BIOS Version does not match the one I currently have. Clockspeeds still at 0MHz, and Bus Width is 32bit. But that could be because it's still on a riser card. I want to believe there is another vBIOS out there. For now, I will now try putting it on the main PCI-E x16 slot and see if it at least spits out an image this time.

Seems like there are also variants within YESTON for RX 560s Their website has no reference to any RX 560D that remotely looks like what I got. Though Amazon listings and other commerce sites have references to multiple YESTON RX 560D 4GB. You mentioned the "Yeston RX560D-4G D5 GA (GAEA)" Which is this And after a bit of research I found this: and Yeston RX560D-4G D5 LP So now we got: - Yeston RX560D-4G D5 GA - Yeston RX560D-4G D5 TA - Yeston RX560D-4G D5 LP I will now try to look the the TA's VBIOS

Oh my you're right, the logo. Thanks, I'll check this out.

Got this graphics card from a bargain bundle. For $20 I got: - AOC 16" monitor, USB Powered, VGA Only. (No Issues) - 2.5" 500GB HDD (No Issues 100% Health) - "RX 550 2GB" (Untested) For the price, I couldn't really complain if I got a defective GPU. I plugged it into my PC and BAM!, no POST. I quickly put my GTX 1060 6GB back and plugged the "RX 550 2GB" into a riser card and it booted into Windows just fine. I opened Device Manager and there I see it "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter", then I opened GPUz and there I see it. (pardon me for not taking screenshots around this time) GPUz sees it as an RX 560 4GB card, wow that's sus. That's very not what the seller said it was. Oh before I forget, I should show what the GPU looks like. It has no label anywhere, the appearance of which does not associate it with any of the known GPU vendors except... POWERCOLOR but not quite. *The GPU was pretty much never been opened when I got it, the sticker on the screw was intact. Here's what a Powercolor RX 550 looks like: It's similar but not really. Does anyone recognize the logo at the fan hub? So anyways I thought it was just an incorrectly flashed VBIOS in the card, GPUz shows the card as an RX 560 4GB and the core frequency default is 1076MHz and Memory Clock default is 1500MHz. Although the current reading both reports 0MHz. (pardon me for still not taking screenshots around this time) It also bugged me that the shader unit count was 896 instead of 1024. A bit of searching led me to believe what I got on hand is an RX 560D. A chinese variant of RX560 with only 896 Shaders. I used GPUz to save its VBIOS as is when I got it and the filename was defaulted to Baffin.rom. 1 [VBIOS IT CAME WITH].rom From a bit of research I discovered that Baffin is of POLARIS 11? But how can that be for an RX500 series graphics card? So I tried getting my hands on a VBIOS but I had no way of confirming its memory type. So I decided to open it, and there it is Micron memory (GYZY 8NA47 D9TCB). Tried searching to no avail which was odd. From here I also took the opportunity to verify the GPU from its DIE number (216-0896088) but my search led me knowhere except for one thread. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2011-imac-graphics-card-upgrade.1596614/page-392 on post number "9793" KennyW stated that "216-0896088 is RX460 (likely rebranded RX560D)" and a lot more insight as to how confusing the RX 460s and RX 560s was during the time. I was already very confused at this point so I just tried flashing an RX 560D VBIOS with Micron memory support. ATIFLASH detected the GPU as an "ATI RADEON POLARIS11" which just adds to the confusion because the detected VBIOS (the VBIOS it came with) was of an RX 560 POLARIS21 4GB as seen in the pic. *How reliable is AtiFlash in identifying GPUs? Because GPUz relies on the card's VBIOS in identifying cards right? Pardon me for this was the only screenshot I could find. I did not go through with that flash just yet though. The very first FLASH I did I tried force flashing an RX 460 4GB into it. 2 [VBIOS I first flashed].rom GPUz saw the memory value of 4GB just fine but the core and memory were still 0MHz. I tried installing an AMD driver and it detected the "RX 460 4GB" and it installed. But the GPUz still shows 0MHz so something must be wrong. Device Manager reports Code 43 on the card and so I immediately suspected that the VBIOS I flashed wasn't just quite it. So I did try to force flash it to an RX 560D Sapphire but then it failed and bricked the card. Sapphire.RX560D.4096.170929.rom <It was this but I deleted the one I edited with Polaris Bios Editor (just changed the vendorIDs and deviceIDs so I could flash it) After almost an entire day of attempting to unbrick it (Error reading ROM & Adapter Info Not Found), there it was IT JUST FLASHED AGAIN. ^Trying to undo the damage, the FLASH suddenly working actually failed again but at least it remained flashable so I flashed the last known flashable ROM into it. I was able to reflash it back to the RX 460 VBIOS I tried just before that and I have not touched it ever since. 3 [VBIOS It has right now].rom Can anyone help identifying this card? I really want to be careful this time into the VBIOSes I try to flash onto this card. GPU: AMD 216-0896088 Memory Chips: GYZY 8NA47 D9TCB Forgive me if the post is a bit confusing, ask me anything if it helps.

Hello, i've decided to manually reflash the bios with an EEPROM usb programmer I have. But I need to know if there exists a second chip for dual bios GPUs like this Nitro+ Sapphire. Based on what i've researched, I am quite certain that this one is a bios chip. But I am quite uncertain if dual BIOS gpus uses a single chip or there lies a second chip somewhere else. The bioses i tried flashing onto the card didn't work, but i have not tried everything. (I've seen some other forum with someone having the exact problem, all they had to do was try many different BIOSes after unbricking the chip with the 1+8pin method). I think i'd like to try the 1+8pin method but I thought I already had this eeprom programmer anyways so... I've also tried the atikmdag-patcher (ATI PIXEL CLOCK PATCHER) but with no luck. We've actually found a BIOS that resulted into the GPUz not reporting 0 clocks but that was days ago (april 30) and we kinda lost the bios somewhere in the history of searches (It was on his side). I thought that was the closest we got to getting it in working state. So here I am, about to try flashing the vBIOS with this usb programmer, brb.

There are, Gigabyte has, so does MSI, Sapphire also has but only 4GB density variant cards have records of vBIOS supporting that memory in TechPowerUp. Wow, must've missed that. Although the end is a little different (AJR) instead of (MJR), still worth a shot, I'll ask him to try it.

No, it's only either the driver wouldn't install, or the PC would crash before being able to do anything. Yeah that's for micron memory, thanks anyway We did, still waiting for response :<

My friend got to buy an RX 570 on the secondhand market and it turns out to have no working vBIOS on it on both the vBIOSes it has since it has dual vBIOS. The card reports 0 core clock and memory clock on GPUz on one, and wouldn't reach OS on the other. We found out that the vBIOS flashed is wrong since software reported it has Micron memory but upon inspection at the chips itself, it clearly shows SKhynix (HCGC8H24MJR - R0C). We thought it to be not a problem because we do know how to reflash a vBIOS but then after checking every single Sapphire RX570 vBIOS that supports Hynix memory, we noticed that almost every vBIOS available at TechPowerUp for Sapphire RX 570 or RX 580 has memory chip support for only "H5GQ8H24MJR" which when looked at the specs, runs at a very slightly different voltage and all. The only available vBIOS supporting "HCGC" memory chips are 4GB cards also from Sapphire. I should note that I only tried browsing the "verified vbioses" section of TechPowerUp and not much on the unverified side. Regardless, we tried flashing the HCGQ variant of the vBIOS anyways and we we're greeted with a proper readout page for GPUz, although the OS crashes when doing anything slightly gpu demanding. After reading a bit about losing stock vBIOS, we found that you can contact Sapphire for it and ask for a vBIOS. We've tried that and they only sent HCGQH24MJ one again and to no one's suprise it didn't work and it also reported 0 clock on both core and memory once again. So now we've caught up and we're here. Does anyone somehow know any place deep in the internet (another vBIOS collection perhaps), or maybe you have the very exact vBIOS we need, or is able to do things like Anthony can that would be willing to help? We think we only need the correct vBIOS, but maybe someone can tell it is something else. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks. *Attached vBIOSes sent by Sapphire. 366L06HU.x56 366L06HU.s4u

But when it comes to it, will it work?

Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to come by these days. But I guess I will try a little harder in looking for such before going for this gruesome idea.

Hello, I have an old Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W Cable Management semi-modular power supply but I lost some of the cable that came with it. I still have one of the PCI-E 8pin connectors and I was wondering if I can use this modular power supply cable I found. It has the same pinout or wire layout to the standard 8 pin PCI-E but it is keyed differently. The one I found however has the same keys on both the PCI-E male end and PSU male end, thus its keys are also different to the PSU female end. I was thinking about jamming in the PSU male end into the PSU female end. And since they have the same pinout, it should work right? Although it is quite painful.

Alright that clears things. Yes Having a bit of headroom also helps for multi tasking and video rendering. Alright I think I get it now, Registered = Buffered and Unregistered = Un-buffered. and Buffered will never work on Un-buffered Motherboards Thanks.

So, is Buffered = Registered and Unbuffered = Unregistered? Both RAMs on their spec sheets mention ECC Registered but no mention regarding it being Buffered/Unbuffered Yeah I know different DDR Generations have different keys and pin counts, and I only used that as a medium of comparison to different RAM Frequencies and their overall impact to gaming. I've always found that capacity is more important for gaming. Woops sorry, my browser chrome (yeah chrome... might need that extra capacity after all) opens the link to a new tab and views the site via built-in PDF Viewer

Hello, I just want a little clarification about ECC Memories since the browsing the web about ECC support on none server systems have conflicting points, and to gain knowledge to know whether the RAM I would buy would be just defective or incompatible in the event of it not booting/working. I have this budget system: CPU: Ryzen 3 2200G MOBO: Asus EX-A320M Gaming RAM: 8GB DDR4 2666MHz CL16 HyperX Fury (Had 16GB but I gave the other stick to my friend, yeah just had to mention that) GPU: RX 580 4GB Then I found some great deals on FB Marketplace: 1. A 32GB DDR4 single stick ECC memory for only approximately $40 converted from PHP 2. and a 32GB Kit 2x16GB for approximately $80 converted. ------------------------- 32GB RAM: MICRON 32GB PC4-19200 DDR4-2400T-R REGISTERED ECC 2RX4 CL17 288 PIN 1.20V MEMORY MODULE ( PC4-2400T-R ) MANUFACTURER: MICRON PART NUMBER: MTA36ASF4G72PZ-2G3B1IK COMPONENT DENSITY: 32GB PRODUCT BUS TYPE: PC4-19200 COMPONENT SPEED: DDR4-2400T-R MODULE SIGNAL TYPE: REGISTERED ERROR CORRECTION CODE ( ECC YES COMPONENT RANK: 2RX4 CAS LATENCY: CL17 PIN COUNT: 288-PIN VOLTAGE: 1.20V ------------------------- 16 GB RAM: 16GB 2Rx4 2G x 72-Bit PC4-2133 CL15 Registered w/Parity 288-Pin DIMM MANUFACTURER: KINGSTON PART NUMBER: KVR21R15D4/16 COMPONENT DENSITY: 16GB COMPONENT SPEED: DDR4-2133 MODULE SIGNAL TYPE: REGISTERED ERROR CORRECTION CODE ( ECC YES CAS LATENCY: CL15 PIN COUNT: 288-PIN VOLTAGE: 1.20V ------------------------- Things I understand (I think I do) so far from browsing around: - You cannot mix Unbuffered and Buffered - Buffered/Registered memory has a register between the DRAM itself and Memory controller - All Ryzen supports ECC unofficially, still depends to the board manufacturer, though but the ASUS site states that ECC Memory (ECC Mode) support varies by CPU. (I guess the board itself does support it?) Things I'm uncertain about: (Actually, everything written in this forum post pls help) - If the motherboard only supports un-buffered memory, will using a buffered memory run the ram as un-buffered and work just like a normal un-buffered RAM would or will it not post at all? - Some motherboard that supports ECC do work with ECC RAM but does not use the ECC function. - What is the difference of Buffered to Registered and Unbuffered to Unregistered? Some sources say they are the same, some make it seem they are different so idk anymore. Some notes: - My current RAM struggles on games like Rust and COD Warzone with Rust crashing to desktop from loading (used to work but stutters) and Warzone having immense stutters in-game (RAM being maxed out). - I don't really care about ECC, I just want to know if it'll boot. - I understand I'll lose a bit of FPS on going down from 2666MHz to 2400 or 2133 but I think it's too small that eliminating the stutters would be much more practical. (DDR3 vs DDR4 has very little difference in terms of gaming right??) The overall question/s: Will it boot? Is it a good idea?

Forgot to mention, I checked a few motherboards and their available BIOS/Firmware downloads and you can see at what point they disable PCIE Gen 4.0 support, so yeah the more you know. But that's pretty obvious to some people anyways.

Alright, did a little bit of research. Apparently yeah, Motherboard manufacturers did actually advertise pre-X570 boards to supporting PCI-E gen 4 despite AMD saying it won't. So at one point PCI-E 4.0 did actually become available on most if not all AM4 boards but was almost immediately ceased as said by AMD for reason that the boards might not be in spec to run gen 4.0 the hardware the boards are made in. Something about the traces in motherboards and the signal integrity something. Though like this guy said, It "might" be just fine for quality board manufacturers like ASUS and Gigabyte. But I guess that's it for this, thanks <^_^>. I was just surprised why there isn't much people trying this out, maybe for good reasons. Thanks.

Hello, I just saw a video on Youtube (by George Tech YT) that's about a year old and it was shown at around (12:25) that the Gigabyte A320 can handle PCIE 4.0 bandwidth. Just questions out of curiosity: Is this real? or is it just joke or a trick I was too dumb to see. r does it really work, but what's the catch or how? Does it work with the other A320 motherboards?

I would just want to say that there may be a possibility of the PSU is already failing, it might even be the reason of the PC crashing eventually causing the fan of the GPU to die. Although unlikely, it just could be a factor You can try this: But like they said, 2 fans are ok but the one that's not working may be causing a sort of shortage What is the capacity of your PSU? and what is it? by the looks of it, it seems pretty good and ok.

The RTX 2060 seems to be performing normally on the benchmark, Are you sure you didn't just accidentally turn on V-Sync in the game settings?
