Post by: Marvell1 on March 17, 2017, 12:41:38 AM

There is a Polaris Bios Editor that has support for elpida.. just have a search a bit for it

I had a 480 4gb nitro (not +) with elpida and with modded bios using 1500 strap I could only get 26.5mhs stable.. 27.5+ was unstable.. 27 may have been unstable too so i sold it

i know that , 1.4 supported the first run of elpida cards, this new batch of saphires are least dont work properly with that editor , you have to hex edit them for now

@Marvell1 : you need 1.41 to make it work properly with elpida.

Thank you, I have found this link, but it just does not work with the newest ASUS STRIX 4GB 470 Elipda cards :(. No card works, it just says something like default polaris radeon chip and I need to reflash back to original bios.

Just bought new Sapphire nitro RX 480 (all elpida), and indeed Polaris bios editor 1.41 doesn't work on them. I can open the ROM but i'm unable to see the timings.
I had to do some Hex editing. It is much more time consuming, but it's not too complicated to do if you follow the excellent tutorial on Anorak's website :

That is quite different issue. I can see the timings, change them, but when i load the rom, it says Default Polaris Chip or something like that and the card does not work :(
