Wanna Flash your RX 470 towards a 570? It’s possible. 480 towards 580 as well.

AMeDeus Rebrandus Maximus wants his RX 5x0 card back.

Same ol', same ol', move along, nothing to see here...

 

:3eyes: Supposed to wait a week, if not months (or years as of late) Now, we just need to find the one that's the least hassle / coolest.

P.S. I did this with my 6850 (->6870 higher clocked bioses) that still runs today, don't remember if i did it with the 4850.

 

Nice! Will try this with my Nitro+ 480 4GB soon and report back. (If I don't report back you know why )

 

You're fine, just bring along another vid card as your fail-safe/de-brick. We hope to see you back as that's the card i will probably be using.

 

If he has a card with a Dual BIOS switch then he will be fine as well.

You should be fine if you have a backup card or if your card has dual BIOSes on it.

 

Thanks guys, it has a dual bios so I'll be fine Just need to track down a 4gb 580 nitro+ bios! I'll have a look into to later on and do some before and after benchies.

 

I go your same gpu, so I'll wait your feedback.

 

Thanks Hilbert for sharing the Bios file and helping

Maybe a little off topic but I have an ASUS 270X can I flash it to 370 or 370X ?

Thanks !

 

Minus the overclock towards 1500mhz i suppose.

 

"Should you want to give it a go, be warned as failure is an option."

I think it may be better worded as "be warned as failure is a possibility."

 

Big Nope.
Because R9 270X have 1280 shaders,R7 370 have 1024 shaders,etc etc.
R7 370 is weaker than 270X.

About 370X,nobody knows.

 

Same design from 2016, I hopped the fab process would make them a bit better but I was wrong.

This is just playing with fire in my opinion, the gain is so small over the possibility of losing your card...I'd rather OC and keep temps in check.

 

I was able to OC to same level as Hilbert on the RX 570 Nitro+ review, but only added +48mv.
+96 was too much and I was hiting 85C and throttling, then I lowered to +48 and added another fun to cool the card(only using 2x120mm ~600rpm in+ 120mm 600rpm out fans so case is not friendly place for extreme overclocking

What was your max overclock before?

 

Rebrands like this are joke.... So they just made new bios (with bunch of tweaks) and call it new card huh ?

 

Makin me feel old now, j/k. I know that wasn't the intention. Well at least many now see why I dont regret it. I just threw ME4 plus other 2k17 triple-a's, and all is more than fine.

But yes, i should of realized a secondary bios re-mediates that and necessary if you run >1 pci-ex, and didn't because I never owned one. Yeah i'm from the time when you could easily chip an xbox (classic) console and even that had the outside switch w/ dual rom/bios support. Nice ocer's tool, implemented by the chip manu, off-topic old-fart, buzzer. See, now i'm doing the whole "In my day...we had hunting knifes!" sch-peal, so def no offense taken!

 

Especially since, you're a relative youngster to some of us. Pong wasn't a thing in my youth...unless it used the actual paddles and balls.

 

Aaaah! I knew this was going to be possible. I have been saying this since it came out about the 580. Now all I have to do is take my little Red Devil deep undercover and bring it up to RX 580.
