Used asus rx470 crashing

[La Jake]

Hello! 

I recently bought a used asus rx470 gpu, after updating all of the drivers I tried to run CS:GO, with which there shouldn't have been any problems, however it crashed straight after the cut scene. So I tried to run a benchmarking program, but the same thing happened, as soon as it started it crashed. Tried to update drivers once again and after checed if Windows offered any updates, it showed 2 insignificant updates for driver which I downloaded, also changed the power consumtion limit a bit higher and max temperature increased by 20 degrees (to 80). This seemed to fix the issue of crashing, however in CS:GO, the FPS count was way lower then expected (average 60) and after checking the gpu clock and vram speeds, they were 300 (clock speed should have been 900 or so) and 1250 (vram by default should have been 1750). So I tried to change them to the default values which resulted in a crash once again. Now I have lowered everything back to min speeds, but the crashing hasn't stopped. Question is, is there something that I can still do? Test something? Or should I return the card? Thank you in advance!

I assume this is a 8G card?

Unfortunately no, 4G

Sorry for late reply, if your card is not reaching its advertised clock speeds, it could be due to being on a mining vbios. I can also help you flash it back to its original bios if you are ok with taking the risk of flashing a vbios.
