Title: 2nd Gen Reference RX 480 8GB - Wierd Bios Looking... Any Ideas??? Post by: pikachuy on April 05, 2017, 08:14:53 AM I bought a XFX reference from newegg and it's not the original reference cards, seems like a 2nd gen reference card. I like the blower style cards because of my setup. Usually, I just open up Polaris Bios Editor and copy the 1625 to all above straps and flash it and call it a day. But when looking at the bios of this card, it looks all weird on the timings. Any idea why its so different?

Updates/Solution: Had to use updated PBE https://github.com/IojkinKot/PolarisBiosEditor/ Thanks @Cubirez After using the new PBE, it showed 2 sets of timings and 2 different VRAM's. I just copy each of the 1625 timing to above straps for each timing/vram and was good to go, all working. https://i.imgur.com/Uyo4JR2.jpg Title: Re: 2nd Gen Reference RX 480 8GB - Wierd Bios Looking...

I haven't yet had time to dive back into it but here is the thread regarding what was covered on mine if you experience an issue. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1842537 The bios you attached looks correct with the IojkinKot build and I see 2000 timing as Code: BBB000000000000022889D0073EE8D53A055151743CFB60D004E24010E0A14204A8900A0030071241C143840DB324418 Title: Re: 2nd Gen Reference RX 480 8GB - Wierd Bios Looking...

I hope to test that out on my M25P20C card later this week when I get back to it, will report back here with results either way. |
