Should I Flash the RX 480 to RX 580?

 

Sapphire RX 480 8 GB Nitro OC 8192 MB, GDDR5, Micron

If it is safe and gives better performance, hell yeah.

 

[manikyath]

no.

 

any benefit you may get, you could also get with tuning OC settings, and this way you also avoid potentially bricking your card in unexpected ways.

He obviously thinks he can get his 480 to perform more like a 580, unleashing some hidden performance.

 

The question implies that, IMO.

if the card has dual bios i would try it (dont forget to make a backup first)
