Flashing a problematic RX 580 to RX 480

[Flickspeed]

So I hear lots of people with 580s have some problems with new drivers detecting 6 cards, higher power draws etc...

Now I did see someone flash a 480 to 580 on you tube.

Has anyone tried to flash vice versa a 580 to 480?

It shouldn't be that big of a deal if it can be done 1 way it must be done the other way around too. If successful it will be away around all problems such as ability to use old drivers

Please report back here if you try with the results.

I've tried, but atiflash said that signature is different, didn't try to force.

Forcing will be a must, it had to be forced the other way around from 480 to 580 because adapter ids and other ids don't match.

I forgot to mention, it is a good idea to use a bios from a card with the same memory manufacturer and capacity.

So for example if the 580 8gb is samsung then you would want a bios meant for 480 8gb samsung.

I think is the solution for  a 6 GPUs problem

And it should be a good solution.

No1 tried yet? I dont have any 5 series, and people are asking to order but can't decide before this is cleared up.
