Posted June 13, 2018 Hi, I am having some trouble with my new Gigabyte RX Vega 64 (8gb OC) card. I ran DDU on my PC, installed the GPU and then installed the latest AMD drivers. When I try to backup the BIOS with atBIOS I get an error code (0x00000002) If I download the latest ATIFlash (now with Vega support) I see an error stating its a Discrete card. Is this normal or is there something wrong with the card/installation? Game play is perfectly fine, Far Cry 5 runs nice and smooth in Ultra settings. I just want to update the BIOS to version F2.

Posted June 13, 2018 Discrete means stand alone card, intead of integrated (on cpu) Also why would you want to flash the bios ? (I have the same card) Let's agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have the same card) I can't remember where I found it but I can see the card is using version F1 of the BIOS (possibly in the AMD app). The support page now has F2 out as the latest file:https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-RXVEGA64GAMING-OC-8GD#support-dl-bios Download: Europe Just wanted to updated to see if it offers any better performance / power tweaks. In theory the atBIOS software should allow for it to be updated easily but not in my case...

Posted June 13, 2018 I wouldn't touch it, they do state (if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS) Only problem I have with the card is that the stock fan profile isn't good enough but that's an easy fix Also the card is very loud above 67% Let's agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its best to stick with the "if its not broke, dont try to fix it" attitude. The card is certainly loud! Especially with a Corsair H115i... really need to get some silent fans for my setup. How would you go about reducing the noise of the GPU - is it easy to swap out the fans?

I set the fans manual to 55% and increase % when needed (when gaming at higher then 60fps) Also fixing framerate to my freesync range (40-60) does help with heat an noise (single player games) Let's agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 12, 2018 just posting to let you know i flashed the f2 bios(all's good), the most i can find out about is is referred to in the tomshardware article about the vega64, it seems to have a more aggressive adjusted fan curve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the BIOS updated, I'd like to resolve why ATIFlash is throwing a wobbly. Same PC used to have Dual RX480's installed and had no issues with the BIOS flashing. Can't remember if I had to play around with any reg settings to unlock flashing or not.
