Messing with my video card BIOS
01/04/21 02:33 PM


Have a shit LG ultrawide and a Sapphire Radeon Rx Vega 64. Been getting link errors coming out of sleep mode far too often, so I've been poking around the net about BIOS info.

The amdvbflashWin program Originally listed the BIOS as P/N 113-D0500100-105. GPU-Z says the subvendor is AMD/ATI. But... I still have the box. It's a Sapphire! I also noticed in the "Technologies" section at the bottom, OpenGL was not checked (but to my knowledge, I've never had a problem with OpenGL stuff).

Found a seemingly updated Sapphire BIOS and tried to flash it. Same P/N but ending in O08. Subsystem mismatch error. Again, I have the box. IT IS A SAPPHIRE card!

The latest AMD bios I found ended in -102. Sounds like a downgrade from -105, right? The software can save the current BIOS, so I saved it, then flashed the AMD BIOS. Had to reboot twice, because of "hardware changes".

Now... The OpenGL 4.6 box is ticked, and it specifically says 4.6. Don't even remember if there was a specific number there when it wasn't ticked.


So anyway... bonus?


Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
