RX 570 problem

[TheR4vas]

Hello,

I've got a good deal on rx 570 used for 5 months, it was used for mining ofcourse. I asked about the temps and fan speed - 60-62C° ~60-75%. I consider it really not bad. It's a strix version, so even better. My problem is that the seller knows 0 about games and informed me, that the gpu has "mining bios" and he sold one guy this gpu and he tried to install regular drivers (not bios) and he didn't suceed, I wonder, is that because of bios? Can I get the normal bios and is it hard to change the bios? Thanks for the answers!

You can use ATI flash tool to flash the card's bios, but i'd never buy a card that has been mined with. It's not about the temps, it has been used extensively for 5 months at full load 24/7. Pass on that deal, buying a GPU that is going to die fairly quickly isn't really the best idea.

Yeah it might be a bios problem

It has warranty and it's only 90€+shipping so it's a REALLY good deal, atleast here, because they're sold for 150-200€ (used) here.

And if the bios are fckd and I can't fix it, I can just send the card to seller and get my money back.
