Posted May 1, 2017 In the end i found a really cheap RX460 and decided to buy it (90 euros and trust me, that is cheap). It is the Sapphire Nitro 4gb one and I was reading some articles on the internet about it while waiting for it to be delivered. I found this extragne thing about unlocking more stream processors and I wanted to know, does it still work? Thank you for your help. http://overclocking.guide/amd-radeon-rx-460-unlocking-1024-stream-processors/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted more cores you should have gone with an RX 470 or RX 480. زندگی از چراغ Intel Core i7 7800X 6C/12T (4.5GHz), Corsair H150i Pro RGB (360mm), Asus Prime X299-A, Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4X4GB & 2X8GB 3000MHz DDR4), MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G (2.113GHz core & 9.104GHz memory), 1 Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe M.2, 1 Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD, 1 Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD, 1 WD Red 1TB mechanical drive, Corsair RM750X 80+ Gold fully modular PSU, Corsair Obsidian 750D full tower case, Corsair Glaive RGB mouse, Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 (Cherry MX Red) keyboard, Asus VN247HA (1920x1080 60Hz 16:9), Audio Technica ATH-M20x headphones & Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

Posted May 1, 2017 It should still work theoretically but flashing BIOS may result into lots of issues, including bricking it and it's not something you'd want to. rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
