The long theory that Vega was switching from Samsung to Hynix to speed up production of the cards is true.
With that said, I wanted to see if anyone else is able to help mod the bios.

https://ufile.io/lroyyI tried installing the base BIOS with Adrenline drivers and got about 512h/sec per thread for a total of 1020H/sec. Switch to Blockchain drivers and it dropped to 480h/sec per thread (960H/sec Total)
I tried using the BIOSes from PCTuneUp but they are all Samsung Memory and hence bricked the card.
I tried OC the clocks and didn't get any speed increase in doing so.
I am only going to keep this card for 5 days unless I can get the speed up, but I am all ears until then!
Thanks!
