Does anybody have a stock BIOS collection for Sapphire RX470 4Gb reference models?
I ran into a rather strange problem: - bought 5 of these cards (exact same P/N and SKU, roughly similar product numbers) - saved the full 512Kb image of 1 card as backup (I know, I should have saved them all separately and compare the hashes...) - flashed a modded 256Kb BIOS (I prepared this in advance, based on the image file on techpowerup) - noticed something is very wrong with one specific card - restored the backup BIOS image to all cards - problem persisted, so I pulled that single card out and used the remaining 4 with my modded BIOS re-applied - I got the card replaced under warranty (the new one has the same P/N and SKU) but I flashed it, and now it's dead (even after restoring my backup BIOS)
Yes, I know I was stupid I didn't make a unique backup of the replacement card's ROM after the first incident. It's very obvious in hindsight now... Although, I did always check the memory type with GPU-Z and it always reported Hynix (that's why I was confident I really have identical cards).
Any suggestions?
