Hey everyone! I've been dormant for a while, but I just posted a new video explaining how to use the amdvbflash CLI tool! Go check it out here: th-cam.com/video/gCq0oZ-i4h4/w-d-xo.html
Bro one more question , how and where to know the change log of a new gpu bios update ,there's just a download and detail option for not change log info.?
5:58 you should probably click on the link to look at the contents of the bios and make sure it supports the same kind of memory on your card. sometimes same make and model cards come with different memory
Thank you SOooooo MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!! Recently I bought a used AMD PRO W5700 from Ebay and its being for a almost a WEEK, trying all type of tweeks to put to work on Win11! Drivers always failing to install, windows Update, Motherbord BIOS configs... can't even remember the counteless new Windows instalations I did!!! Cant remember something like this since my youth... Its being a Marathon!! Almost gave up... 😔😔😔 Until I began searching for VBIOS on the internet as a last resort!! Found some links and took me to your channel and this video!!! Followed your tips... made a VBios update and VOILA!!! Drivers installation went perfectly, everything working like it should be since day one!! ❤❤❤ You definitely make my day!! Earned a new subscriber!! MASSIVE THANK YOU, FROM PORTUGAL!! 👋🤝
Thanks for the video, much appreciated. I picked up a 2nd hand Gigabyte Eagle RX 6700xt recently for cheap (likely ex-mining) after getting it setup and installing the drivers the Core Clocks were stuck around 500mhz, memory at 2000 and performance was sluggish 50-60w 99% util (maybe a mining bios?) Followed your video and it's working great now. 👍
The different (officially verified) bioses are for different cards. Usually, (on both nvidia and amd) it works fine to flash one to another but it is possible it can cause issues. For example my card is "F3" iteration, and there is both "F2" and "F3" bioses (exact same, same card, model, clocks etc.) however the "F3" is suitable for me in my case. Sometimes (with for example gigabyte gtx cards) "F1" might be flashable to "F5" but not "f10". You can usually find these info on manufacturers site. But generally, pretty safe to flash "wrong" bios.
I just flashed my rx 6700xt, i used the bios from the tech site he was showing in teh video, everything went well the flash tool told me to restart my pc which i did… now my pc wont start, instantly goes into the repair tool and goes full black screen after, i dont know what to do since i cant boot up my pc anymore.. since you said it is safe to even flash a wrong bios and i think i dont even got the wrong one, maybe you got more knowlage than me and can help me
@@lukasd4575 i mean the worst and absolute nono is if flashed one which was made for different memory (some 6700xt use Samsung, others Hynix). You might be able to flash it back correctly by using integrated graphics or another GPU to get display, while having this defect 6700xt inside at same time. And then flash correctly.
Thanks for the video, same thing just happened to me. I bought a RX 570 4GB on eBay. I got no video output at on my X470 AMD system, thankfully I got video output on my old B-85 Intel board. The AMD installer would crash every time I tried installing the drivers. Reflashing the Bios was my last hope, thankfully it worked. There were RX 570's that were 15% cheaper because they had mining bios, and the seller didn't fell like reflashing them all, so he gave a discount. I went with this one because the seller said it was in "Good Condition", no mention it was a mining card, or that it had a mining bios. I paid the extra money, so I wouldn't have to deal with this BS. Luckily, I've been tinkering with computers for a while and had back-ups I could use for testing. The seller sold two total, I feel bad for the other buyer, I hope they can figure it out.
Yeah, the seller should definitely make sure it's clearly marked in the description that it's got a mining vbios. Some do it well and it's not too hard to correct, and can be a great value if you're willing to take the risk it's not just straight up bricked. In retrospect mine didn't need a refund if I had just tried reflashing it, but if it was some business with a different vbios then the seller should've noted it in the listing. Or made sure it was in working order lol.
Men thank you so much, I have a 380 overclocked by Saphirre, and it just happen when I was playing, black screen and a dot on my motherboard appearing, I just followed the step, got a new version and the UEFI work again ! Thanks :)
Looks like the issues I am having with a a 5500xt that I bought from Craigslist. It's been forever since I flashed a GPU bios, so it was good refresher video. I will report back.
I had the same issue with my 6700xt, I bought it as an used mining card, and it had mining firmware on it preventing windows to decide what to do with it, a quick flash and it worked just fine.
this vid really helped, i bought a firepro w7100 and couldnt get the grips on the flashing software, and this explained everything! it hasn't finished flashing yet, but it seems promising! once again, thank you so much!!!!
@@setMaddy I have the same card as you. can you share what bios you are using to get it done successfully? I keep getting system mismatch error when trying to flash it. TIA
@@BitGoblin I know, I was making a joke about the mining crash and the AMD cards being the popular choice with a BIOS flash since nVidia conveniently did that themselves. But yeah aside from that there aren't many reasons to flash BIOS
yo ma bro, Im glad to see new video😎💪💪, this is definitely GOOOOD to know😁, n btw I remember you told me this ebay story on discord thanks 4 sharing this🤜🤛
Many thanks to you. Got a Radeon 6700xt from that went into blackscreen at boot 50% (Linux and Windows), crashed to black screen when above 90°C. So i did your flash procedure, because the vbios was from january 2021 and techpowerup had one from february 2021 (maybe debugged). Few minutes of work, now the card comes up at every boot and stay 85°, think they fixed stuff up.
Hi.. I have 2ndhand msi mech rx 6600, it has lower clock, 100w max power, 0 rpm below 50, 100% rpm above 50C. Will my gpu back to normal if i flash the bios?
That sounds like it has a VBIOS tuned for crypto mining on it - so yes, it can if you flash one to get it back to the stock settings :) Good luck and be careful!
My friend bought Rx 580 and all the ports on it are missing except the dvi port , it looks like the graphic card was used for heavy mining and its bios is broken and drivers are bugged and aren't loading , another pc technician tells just vbios flash the graphic card , will this work ? Also one of the fan isn't running
Flashing the VBIOS could help in this case. The seller could've flashed a VBIOS that disabled the display ports and only ran one of the fans to save power (or just messed up the curve). No guarantees, but it's definitely worth a shot!
I bought a refurbished Radeon Pro W5700 expecting to use it on my Mac mini with an Akitio Node Titan eGPU enclosure. For some reason though, I can only use it on my Windows desktop because that's the only thing that worked when I tested it. Any time I tried eGPU on a Mac, it would kernel panic and boot loop until it was powered off or disconnected; then the Mac worked just fine like nothing happened. This GPU *should* work on macOS, because I've seen other TH-cam videos showing the W5700 working on a MacBook Pro. TechPowerUp shows that the VBIOS to my GPU has three different manufacturers: AMD, HP, and Dell. Turns out, mine has an HP VBIOS, since that's the only one that didn't pull any errors when I tried to flash it. I'm guessing that since my GPU came with a bunch of HP documentation, it was an OEM part to an HP workstation. Does that mean my GPU is basically region-locked? Is there a way to bypass this and install a proper AMD VBIOS?
It's possible that HP looked down their BIOS or at least did something weird that isn't compatible with MacOS. But I'm not super familiar with running an eGPU on Macs to know for certain. Let me know if you end up figuring it out though, I'm very curious what's wrong!
@@BitGoblin I’m currently chatting with Apple community support forums, and they’re saying that the OEM locked GPUs haven’t really been an issue for macOS since 2012. They’re suspecting some weird graphic driver issues withmacOS Sonoma in particular. They’re having me test my eGPU on an older version of macOS like Big Sur, which I’m installing now.
Wow very usefull sir..ty so much for making this video ..i had try many time reinstall driver..and doing many other process..this vidoe only fix my prob.ty so much
Bro after downloading bios and when i load in amdvbflash tool it shows a different P/N number should i flash or not , both cards are same but P/N are little different see this - Original is = P/N 113-C6710101-100 & new one is = P/N 113-C6710101-U2
It's possible a flash could fix it. To do so without a display though, you would need to either use your processor's integrated graphics to drive a display or use a second GPU to do it. I haven't tested it, but you might be able to connect to your system via RDP if it's already enabled
It sounds like you're using the latest amdvbflash version, and the GUI was dropped in 5.x. You'll need to use an older version if you want the GUI, or the CLI if you have a newer card (like RX 6000 and 7000 series)
The GUI was retired in version 5, so it's only the CLI tool. I plan on making a video for the CLI at some point, but in the meantime there are some guides online on how to use it
After flashing P/N not showing on amdflashwin how will i know my bios is changed or not? My problem is my gpu is fluctuating its usage like 90% sometimes and sometimes it drops to 2% i am not getting the desired fps i have an used gigabyte rx 570
Im having the same problem Amdvbflashwin is not showing up just AmdvbFlashDriverInstaller.exe can I use this or no it pops up a cmd screen and not sure what to do from there
How much time do you need to get to the point man? I'm trying to fix my gpu that can black out at any moment. But perhaps more damningly, this amdvbflashwin isn't in the download.
Yeah I rambled a bit, I try to do better but it happens a lot lol. But the amdvbflashwin has been deprecated and removed from the latest version, you'll need to use the CLI now. I made a new video explaining how to use it 🙂
I have asrock b450m hdv r.40 motherboard which says ryzen 5000 ready And I have ordered ryzen 3 3200G which is ryzen 3000 apu Would my ryzen 3 3200G work with my motherboard without bios downgrade or update????? Please reply it's urgent.....
PLZ someone Help me , I have an issue of GPU bios light not turning off after booting , this is suddenly happening from yesterday, GPU is giving me some flickering issues and black screens for few seconds ,I thought flashing bios will fix this issue but nothing happened . I don't know what to do now and I can't find this issue anywhere . my card is Rx 6600xt GIGABYTE GAMING OC PRO.
@@muhammadnoman8265I sent that GPU to Gigabyte RMA and it was DEAD. They send me a refurbished Card with totally changed Heat sink, and i am getting more 15° temps than the old Card . Now I am sure this card will burn some part inside and when I will send card again to them , GIGABYTE will for sure tell me that you burnt some part (even though I won't do anything) they will declare that Customer Induced Damage and won't replace it . 😓😓 I literally saved money for 2 years for this card and this is what I get .😕
@@guts711 Card was DEAD bro, I did RMA that . And fkn Gigabyte Replaced my New Card with an Old repaired 6600XT with an entirely changed Heatsink. They didn't even tell me what was the issue in that Card . And now I am getting 75°+ Temperatures on average🔥🔥and hotspot temps is averaging 99°+, Previously it was well under 60°-64° Max . FUCK GIGABYTE. 😓
Damn... im tryna flash my rx5600xt that i just bought second hand, because it keeps black screening when under a load, but nothing works... i tried the newest version of amdvbflash aswell as 2 other (older) atiflash versions. So the newest doesnt contain the amdvbflashWin file, and so i tried running the other executable, but it showed nothing but an empty console window (no commands or nothing worked). One of the older versions didnt recognize that i was using an ati/amd card and the other when trying to open it - did nothing... im losing my mind because in this state the gpu is useless and nothing works.
Sir i tried to flash my rx 580. And it just froze. I cant even hover my mouse cursor. Should i press restart button on my pc? or just leave it and maybe it'll finish flashing.
That's tough, but you may just have to force it off if it's stuck. It might've finished but maybe the driver had trouble with it? It's hard to say, but I'd be prepared to another flash just in case.
@@BitGoblin sir just an update, i just pressed the restart button on my pc and it started well. i flashed another vbios version compatible to my gpu and it all went well. Thank you for the tutorial you uploaded. God bless!
i have a problem with rx 570 sapphire pulse , it runs with no problems until it draw more than 90 watt if it excedds that it would black my screen and GPU fan speed reach 100% i tried changing my PSU and even the Tried it on another PC , still got the same problem what should i do ?
Hmm, I'm honestly not sure what to do in this case. Since you've ruled out power supply, PCI-e cables (from trying the new PSU) and your build, I'd lean toward it being something to do with the power delivery on your card or maybe the GPU itself is having trouble under load. But I'm not sure how you'd diagnose it further
i have an xfx rx 570 8gb it has a clock speed at 1226mhz i checked all the rx 570 variants and the lowest clockspeed (defualt was 1244mhz) and xfx models had 1286mhz so im looking to gain that orignal clockspeed (1286mhz) can i do it safely
I'm trying to flash my 7900xt with the latest bios update but there isn't an option for "amdvbflashWin", i don't have that option, so i cant get into the flash menu, apparently its been removed on the latest one, what other way can i do it bud? :-(
You'll have to do it from the CLI since you have one of the newer cards. I think there's instructions in the archive that's provided, and there's also a guide here on the techpowerup forum: www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/amd-ati-flash-command-line-cmd-syntax-mini-guide-windows.291671/
Hi I have done all the steps but still my Gpu does not take drivers, it still says (windows have stopped this device because it reported problems (code 43)
What GPU are you having trouble with? If it's an older one, it's possible the drivers you have installed are too new for the card. It could also just be that the card is faulty in some other manner, though I don't know how to troubleshoot much further unfortunately.
6800xt has a 6950xt vbios in it. It works overall but when it comes to battlefield 2042 it has graphical anomalies the second you spawn on map and persists untill I resets the computer. I have went through a checklist for the last couple days trying to figure out where the problem was coming from.
It's possible the 6950 XT BIOS has your card on the edge and Battlefield 2042 might stress your card just the right way to push it over the edge. Have you tried potentially downclocking the core or memory clocks to see if that helps?
When i try to flash bios with the latest version it says p/n mismatch. But when i download the 3.04 version and open up the insttool 64, it opens up for a split second and then closes immediatley
@@BitGoblin same as yours. Rx570 powercolor. Tried on another system and same. Now it got worse because I think it shorted out because the whole system wont turn on if I got the gpu plugged.
Shoot, sorry I read your message and totally forgot to reply! It definitely sounds like something is messed up with the power on that card if it's not even able to power on. Do you have another card to test if the rest of the system works?
Would this possibly match your GPU? www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/252821/252821 I went to Google and this page popped up from TechPowerUp. It's got a warning about an unverified BIOS file, so I wonder if that's why it wasn't popping up in their database search?
Hello mister, do I need to plug a NVIDIA card to do so? Or can I connect another AMD card? P.S my AMD Sapphire 6600 XT shows no display like yours 570.
Hello i bought a sapphire rx 5600 xt used in mining from china. on the GPU-Z it shows a different subvendor, powercolor instead of sapphire. this card seems to be modified what should i do? should i just flash the original bios?
Can you help me? If i start the ATI program not running just a message show up what say " Cannot find discrete ATI Video card" but i have AMD Radeon RX 6600m.
Hmm, that's a tough one. If you haven't already, it might be worth trying to update your graphics driver, or trying a different version of ATIFlash. I'd also check if the device shows up in Device Manager.
I was able to find this by googling it: www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/193232/193232 But it's likely not showing up in the VBIOS search because they haven't verified it yet. So I can't say this one would work properly, but it might be worth looking into. I hope that helps! If you try it, let me know if it works or not.
The GUI tool was discontinued with version 5.x, leaving only the CLI tool. If you're trying to flash an older card (before RX 7000 series I believe) then you should be able to use an older version.
Hi like you i purchased 3 gpu's from ebay and all 3 crash when the driver is loading. I replaced the thermal paste in them all but still the same result. I am going to try and flash the bios following your instructions and i hope that will remedy the problem, wish me luck. Great video cheers.
I have same problem with my Asus RX 580 8GB mining edition with only DVi display port, it turns off display and the GPU fans stops while the CPU fan is still running….. I don’t know if I flash a new bios it will solve the problem
Hey i have an rx570 and i dontk know why after installing driver the fan suddenly turn off it wont turn on and the temperature reach high still it wont turn on and then i checked on the gpuz the ram and the core showing 0mhz and i tried with another driver it still the the same, i was frustrated i swappee with another motherboard and it still the same, could it be a mining bios? I was bought it used rx570 sapphire nitro
When I place my known working rx 580 into the main top pcie slot while having the bad rx 580 in the bottom pcie slot the good one won't display and VGA motherboard debug light is on. Help?
Huh that's an odd one. I'm assuming you have a sufficient power supply for both GPUs? And does the system post at all or do you not even see the bios splash screen?
So i have an old rx 470 that i plan on upgrading the gddr5 1gb vram chips to gddr6 2gb chips. I'm pretty sure I'll need to update the bios chip. Will it support the new 2gb chips? Because when I type in the parameters, there won't be a gddr6 16 gb version on the 470 on their website.
I'm sorry, are you asking if you can flash the working VBIOS to the other side? If so, I believe that should be doable - you'd just need to save the VBIOS from the working side, then use the resulting rom to flag the other.
Can you please tell me how did you convince the seller to gives you a refund ? Because i have an issue like this but he says to me that i need to install a bios to the gpu and he send to me a bios file and i don't know if it will fix the issue or not
Honestly I didn't do much to convince them, they just accepted the return request when I filed it through eBay. It was a very thorough request with all the things I tried, so maybe they just saw I tried and nothing worked? Tbh I wouldn't accept that as a possible fix and push for the refund. Requiring you to modify the card in anyway (including flash the vbios) could muddy the waters in the event he wants to fight it, giving them a chance to claim you messed it up somehow with the flash.
What are the symptoms? The new VBIOS might've been hiding something faulty with the card, or might've just been a coincidence you didn't experience the issues for a bit. Total shot in the dark, but depending on the age of the GPU it might be the core or the VRAM are degrading, and the new VBIOS you flashed dialed back the clocks just enough to be fine for a hot minute.
@@BitGoblin I bought it faulty, as being completely dead, after I flashed the bios worked fine for a few hours, and I think it would it work a lot of hours continuosly, but in the morning when I start the pc , same issue, now I flashed the bios again and gave a few restarts of the pc , and is fine so far
Unfortunately newer version of the amdvbflash tool don't come with the Windows GUI tool anymore and you must use the CLI tool. I'll make a tutorial in the future on how to use the CLI. I had some real bad timing on this one lol...
I have an 8GB RX 580 2048sp that came with artifacts, in some games the textures flicker black, in not so demanding games it works normally, just like being in a common app, will changing the BIOS solve the problem?
Good question! It's possible it would fix it, but artifacting to me would suggest that the memory is bad (most likely, since less demanding on the VRAM) or possibly the GPU itself is having errors. Flashing a new firmware shouldn't hurt though, it's definitely worth a shot if nothing else :)
Yeah, the GUI was retired in version 5, so you need to use the CLI tool. I plan on doing a tutorial for how to do it in the future, but there should be some tutorials available online as well :) I had pretty bad timing with this video lol.
2.93 does not have a download option on the Techpowerup website for some reason I guess I will try 2.84. Do you know if I can download 2.9.3 somewhere else? Update: 2.84 wont load and I think this card was used by minors and has been changed to be a R9 380X because when I click on Lookup on the GPU-Z at the top right of the application it takes me to a 380X not what I have that is a Asus R9 380. Not sure what to do at this time. The reason I'm trying to update the Bios is this GPU's sound via HDMI is cutting out and I cant enter my Bios on my computer with it installed but I can with my other GPU and I was hoping doing this would resolve both or at least one of the problems.
@azrabain8210 so if you click on show older versions and do a ctrl-f search for 2.93 I was able to find it. But that version was only a guess, maybe one of the 3.x ones will work if you haven't tried it yet. I think the vbios being wrong could definitely affect booting into the bios, but idk about the hdmi audio. But we'll see if you can get a version of amdvbflash to work lol
I get failed to flush my card and geting in some issues i flushed my card then its show to reboot and they didn't give me display what should i do know
It's not required to have a second GPU to do the flash, it just helps in the event you need to troubleshoot a bad flash. Or in my case where my GPU wasn't outputting any display signal. :) If you need it though, you can use the integrated graphics on your CPU if it has one. Or maybe get a cheap used GPU to output a display.
This could be worth a try. Back in April I installed a new update in Adrenaline from AMD and eversince I had horrible problems with the performance of my 6800XT. Tried a buch of stuff but nothing worked. Not even resetting motherboard bios and reinstalling windows several times. Maybe this helps 🤔
Huh, that's weird that a driver update would've borked a graphics card like that. I could maybe see if it was an older card that dropped support, but the 6800 XT is not old lol. I'd suspect maybe it was a bug in the driver unless you've tried a few different versions since then. A vbios flash could help if the image loaded on the card got borked somehow
@@BitGoblin Directly after the new update in April I tried to go back to the older version of adrenaline and the drivers which worked without problems. It made things a bit better but still had problems. I also tried a few newer updates which followed in the months after April but ... Out of luck again. Last week I ended up getting a 4070, installed it and all the problems are completely gone. Everything works as it should. But now I have a 6800XT laying around here without a idea what's wrong 😅
Hello, I have a Sapphire Nitro+ Rx 580 8gb It has dual bios. When I switch to the Performance bios It's showing Msi vendor with lower Memory and high clock speed 1380and 1750. I am planning to flash it and revert it back to the original Sapphire 1411 and 2000mhz bios. But when I install the flashing tool It only contains 6 files there is no amdflashWin file. When I run the AmdVbflashInstaller and Install the tool It won't showup, I don't know what to do can you help?
Since you're work with an RX 580, try using an older version of amdvbflash (before version 5.x). The GUI was dropped in newer releases and only ships with a CLI tool now.
Unfortunately the GUI was retired in version 5, so it's only the CLI tool. I plan on making a video for the CLI at some point, but in the meantime there are some guides online on how to use it
I have a XFX RX 580 8GB with corrupted bios, no ATIFlash or AMDVBFLHASHWIN that I try works, it always gives Windows 8 error or something, is there any file that I can use to reinstall the bios of my 580? thanks (I use windows 11)
Hi, i got an issue with my rx 580, it doesn't have many problem but only when i play a game it suddenly crashed and the monitor is blinking, should i flash my gpu ?, or there's something else i can do instead ?
Do you see another Display Display Device or something along those lines in Device Manager? If so, it might be you have to install the AMD drivers for it to show up.
A few things I would try if you haven't already: - Update your OS and drivers for the GPU - Use a program like hwinfo64 to watch GPU thermals when you're running a benchmark to make sure it's not overheating - Try the GPU in another system to determine if it's the GPU or your PC A VBIOS flash might help, but this sounds more like a hardware issue than firmware.
I bought an Aisurix 5500 XT and gpu-z shows it as a non XT- 5500. im guessing this would probably help. the screen randomly flashes black then goes back to normal. happens at idle or load, whenever it feels like it.
Yeah it's definitely worth a shot - sounds like someone flashed a different BIOS on that card to change clock speeds or something. Let me know how it goes!
@@BitGoblin yea I think when Aisurix got their pallets of gpu’s they just popped a new cooler on the board with new stickers and flashed it. I want to get ahold of a second gpu just in case this one bricks. it does read the same clocks and performance just the screen flickering randomly is annoying. Thank you very much for having made this tutorial!
The GUI version was retired in version 5, so you need to use the CLI version now unfortunately. There's a PDF manual for the CLI tool and there should be some detailed guides online. Or I'll make one eventually :)
Bought an rx 6700xt of ebay worked for a few weeks then stopped putting out a display then vga light comes on not display put my other graphics card in and works fine any ideas what steps to take tryed everything i can think of and found on internet but no luck am not to clever with all this thanks
Video on using the CLI? Not yet unfortunately - between work travel, vacation and some family stuff it's been hard to sit down and make a video for awhile. But it is on my list of things to do shortly :)
@emmam0442 it's no problem! In the meantime, you can probably follow this written guide on the TechPowerUp forum to get the flash done with the CLI www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/amd-ati-flash-command-line-cmd-syntax-mini-guide-windows.291671/
i have sapphire pulse rx 580 8gb 2048sp v2 my pc randomly crashes and freezes after some time, sometimes it shows artifects and then go completely black, when i cut off my power it runs again for a minute or two, is it a hardware or a bios issue ?
It could be a hardware or vbios issue, but I'd guess possibly it's a power or cooling issue. Is there any way you can view the temps in the BIOS or something before it crashes? Or you could try a different power supply if you have one to see if maybe it's related to power.
@@BitGoblin I don't think its a heating or a power supply issue because even when i max out fans to 100% it still crashes, in normal usage the temps stays in 36-40C, in furmark it goes 84, and i used it in my friend's pc with a different psu it still crashes, so psu is not the issue here either,
Man, i did it on a 6700xt everything went fine, now my pc wont start, only blackscreen after the pc tries to fix it itself… what can i do now? Is my gpu fucked now or can i reset it somehow to the old bios pelase help man
Yeah you should be able to flash your old VBIOS to the card, you would just need to use another GPU to handle your display while you flash the VBIOS. The RX 570 4GB that I was using for the demo would give me blackscreens on certain VBIOS versions, so I just used a Quadro P1000 to boot to Windows and do another flash to a working version :)
It's possible it can help though I wouldn't expect it to. Usually updates would just affect the driver and not the hardware, and it's possible you need to do a clean install of your drivers if you're seeing recurring issues. What kind of issues are you seeing? And what GPU is it?
So I want to flash an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB, but have no onboard graphics (Ryzen) and Radeon is not being detected by windows. I have an Nvidia 1080 I can use to get windows onto monitor. My question is ... do I have to connect power to Radeon card (3 X 8 Pin connectors) as I am already using 2 X 8 Pin connectors to power my Nvidia card? Many thanks...
Hi sir I did all these things, but at the last stage, the system told me that the BIOS of the company was already installed on the card, but in many games it does not use the real power and has a large performance drop.
Is there another way to change the BIOS card, it has probably already been done with my card and the card was overclocked in the MSI Afterburnt settings, please guide me.
I would try a different version of the BIOS that you can find on TechPowerUp - my card had a few different versions, and if the version you're trying to flash has the same version string as what's already on the card then it won't let you flash it.
My RX6700XT Memory type are from Micron and all the bios is Samsung only i cant find the Micron type from the tech powerup bios is it gonna be a huge problem if i just install it?
I get an display driver not installed error with the flash tool, but I cannot install displaydrivers because of the mining bios what can I do? Please let me know.
What OS are you on? I've seen that happen before when running an older Windows version that isn't supported anymore. You could also try running the AMDVBFlashDriverInstaller.exe tool that comes with the AMDVBFlash ZIP download.
@@BitGoblin yes, thank you it works now. I used the latest windows 10, thats why I was confused to see this error. But I flashed it succesfully. Thank you very much for your amazing video and help!
Hey everyone! I've been dormant for a while, but I just posted a new video explaining how to use the amdvbflash CLI tool! Go check it out here: th-cam.com/video/gCq0oZ-i4h4/w-d-xo.html
Bro one more question , how and where to know the change log of a new gpu bios update ,there's just a download and detail option for not change log info.?
Honestly none that I'm aware of. Best I can say is to compare the details on each VBIOS, unfortunately.
@@BitGoblin Bro i flashed r9 290x successfully.
@pcstream1248 that's good to hear!
5:58 you should probably click on the link to look at the contents of the bios and make sure it supports the same kind of memory on your card. sometimes same make and model cards come with different memory
Thank you SOooooo MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!! Recently I bought a used AMD PRO W5700 from Ebay and its being for a almost a WEEK, trying all type of tweeks to put to work on Win11! Drivers always failing to install, windows Update, Motherbord BIOS configs... can't even remember the counteless new Windows instalations I did!!! Cant remember something like this since my youth... Its being a Marathon!! Almost gave up... 😔😔😔
Until I began searching for VBIOS on the internet as a last resort!! Found some links and took me to your channel and this video!!! Followed your tips... made a VBios update and VOILA!!! Drivers installation went perfectly, everything working like it should be since day one!! ❤❤❤ You definitely make my day!! Earned a new subscriber!! MASSIVE THANK YOU, FROM PORTUGAL!! 👋🤝
You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to help you get your graphics card back to working condition! :D
Thanks for the video, much appreciated. I picked up a 2nd hand Gigabyte Eagle RX 6700xt recently for cheap (likely ex-mining) after getting it setup and installing the drivers the Core Clocks were stuck around 500mhz, memory at 2000 and performance was sluggish 50-60w 99% util (maybe a mining bios?) Followed your video and it's working great now. 👍
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that! Both you fixing the graphics card, and the keeping another old GPU from being e-waste is another bonus :)
The different (officially verified) bioses are for different cards. Usually, (on both nvidia and amd) it works fine to flash one to another but it is possible it can cause issues. For example my card is "F3" iteration, and there is both "F2" and "F3" bioses (exact same, same card, model, clocks etc.) however the "F3" is suitable for me in my case.
Sometimes (with for example gigabyte gtx cards) "F1" might be flashable to "F5" but not "f10". You can usually find these info on manufacturers site. But generally, pretty safe to flash "wrong" bios.
I just flashed my rx 6700xt, i used the bios from the tech site he was showing in teh video, everything went well the flash tool told me to restart my pc which i did… now my pc wont start, instantly goes into the repair tool and goes full black screen after, i dont know what to do since i cant boot up my pc anymore.. since you said it is safe to even flash a wrong bios and i think i dont even got the wrong one, maybe you got more knowlage than me and can help me
@@lukasd4575 i mean the worst and absolute nono is if flashed one which was made for different memory (some 6700xt use Samsung, others Hynix).
You might be able to flash it back correctly by using integrated graphics or another GPU to get display, while having this defect 6700xt inside at same time.
And then flash correctly.
@@lukasd4575 Wow did you manage to fix your issue in the end?

Thanks for the video, same thing just happened to me. I bought a RX 570 4GB on eBay. I got no video output at on my X470 AMD system, thankfully I got video output on my old B-85 Intel board. The AMD installer would crash every time I tried installing the drivers. Reflashing the Bios was my last hope, thankfully it worked.
There were RX 570's that were 15% cheaper because they had mining bios, and the seller didn't fell like reflashing them all, so he gave a discount. I went with this one because the seller said it was in "Good Condition", no mention it was a mining card, or that it had a mining bios. I paid the extra money, so I wouldn't have to deal with this BS. Luckily, I've been tinkering with computers for a while and had back-ups I could use for testing. The seller sold two total, I feel bad for the other buyer, I hope they can figure it out.
Yeah, the seller should definitely make sure it's clearly marked in the description that it's got a mining vbios. Some do it well and it's not too hard to correct, and can be a great value if you're willing to take the risk it's not just straight up bricked.
In retrospect mine didn't need a refund if I had just tried reflashing it, but if it was some business with a different vbios then the seller should've noted it in the listing. Or made sure it was in working order lol.
Thank you! Was able to use your video to flash the proper bios to a card someone gave me!
I'm glad I was able to help!
Men thank you so much, I have a 380 overclocked by Saphirre, and it just happen when I was playing, black screen and a dot on my motherboard appearing, I just followed the step, got a new version and the UEFI work again ! Thanks :)
Awesome, I'm glad my video helped! :D
Looks like the issues I am having with a a 5500xt that I bought from Craigslist. It's been forever since I flashed a GPU bios, so it was good refresher video. I will report back.
Good luck!
Thank you for the tutorial was super easy to follow and I liked the story and commentary behind it. Subscribed!
You're welcome, and thanks! :D
I had the same issue with my 6700xt, I bought it as an used mining card, and it had mining firmware on it preventing windows to decide what to do with it, a quick flash and it worked just fine.
That's awesome! Sometimes rescuing GPUs can be easy :)
Same on my vega 64
Oh great.
Is it safe to flash edited stock vbios or different subsystem id vbios on rdna2 (navi 23) series? I thought it was locked up for that!
Same thing here luckily i found a software name, atikmdag patcher it solved the issues.
this vid really helped, i bought a firepro w7100 and couldnt get the grips on the flashing software, and this explained everything! it hasn't finished flashing yet, but it seems promising! once again, thank you so much!!!!
Awesome, I'm glad it helped! :D I hope the flash goes well!

Mining crash: "Am I a joke to you?"
It depends on your interpretation of "a few" ;)
@@BitGoblin I know, I was making a joke about the mining crash and the AMD cards being the popular choice with a BIOS flash since nVidia conveniently did that themselves. But yeah aside from that there aren't many reasons to flash BIOS
yo ma bro, Im glad to see new video😎💪💪, this is definitely GOOOOD to know😁, n btw I remember you told me this ebay story on discord
thanks 4 sharing this🤜🤛
Haha thanks! I'm definitely glad to start making videos again
Many thanks to you. Got a Radeon 6700xt from that went into blackscreen at boot 50% (Linux and Windows), crashed to black screen when above 90°C. So i did your flash procedure, because the vbios was from january 2021 and techpowerup had one from february 2021 (maybe debugged). Few minutes of work, now the card comes up at every boot and stay 85°, think they fixed stuff up.
Awesome! I'm glad you were able to get your card in working order again :D
Hi.. I have 2ndhand msi mech rx 6600, it has lower clock, 100w max power, 0 rpm below 50, 100% rpm above 50C. Will my gpu back to normal if i flash the bios?
That sounds like it has a VBIOS tuned for crypto mining on it - so yes, it can if you flash one to get it back to the stock settings :) Good luck and be careful!
My friend bought Rx 580 and all the ports on it are missing except the dvi port , it looks like the graphic card was used for heavy mining and its bios is broken and drivers are bugged and aren't loading , another pc technician tells just vbios flash the graphic card , will this work ? Also one of the fan isn't running
Flashing the VBIOS could help in this case. The seller could've flashed a VBIOS that disabled the display ports and only ran one of the fans to save power (or just messed up the curve). No guarantees, but it's definitely worth a shot!
Great video, do i have to install the GPU drivers before flashing it or not ?
You know, I think you do but I don't know for sure. I'll have to test this!
I bought a refurbished Radeon Pro W5700 expecting to use it on my Mac mini with an Akitio Node Titan eGPU enclosure. For some reason though, I can only use it on my Windows desktop because that's the only thing that worked when I tested it. Any time I tried eGPU on a Mac, it would kernel panic and boot loop until it was powered off or disconnected; then the Mac worked just fine like nothing happened. This GPU *should* work on macOS, because I've seen other TH-cam videos showing the W5700 working on a MacBook Pro.
TechPowerUp shows that the VBIOS to my GPU has three different manufacturers: AMD, HP, and Dell. Turns out, mine has an HP VBIOS, since that's the only one that didn't pull any errors when I tried to flash it. I'm guessing that since my GPU came with a bunch of HP documentation, it was an OEM part to an HP workstation. Does that mean my GPU is basically region-locked? Is there a way to bypass this and install a proper AMD VBIOS?
It's possible that HP looked down their BIOS or at least did something weird that isn't compatible with MacOS. But I'm not super familiar with running an eGPU on Macs to know for certain.
Let me know if you end up figuring it out though, I'm very curious what's wrong!
@@BitGoblin I’m currently chatting with Apple community support forums, and they’re saying that the OEM locked GPUs haven’t really been an issue for macOS since 2012. They’re suspecting some weird graphic driver issues withmacOS Sonoma in particular. They’re having me test my eGPU on an older version of macOS like Big Sur, which I’m installing now.
I would not have guessed that! 😅 let's hope an older MacOS works!
Wow very usefull sir..ty so much for making this video ..i had try many time reinstall driver..and doing many other process..this vidoe only fix my prob.ty so much

Bro after downloading bios and when i load in amdvbflash tool it shows a different P/N number should i flash or not , both cards are same but P/N are little different see this - Original is = P/N 113-C6710101-100 & new one is = P/N 113-C6710101-U2
There is no RX 7600xt on VGA Bios Colection what now??
HI, I am having subsystem ID mismatch error. any idea why?
I have video but it doesnt detect the second monitor and cant find it in task manager
What version of the tool did you use, and what graphics card are you flashing? It's possible you might need a different version to flash your card
I can't get my R9 Fury to display. Card is on, fans are spinning but just no display at all. Does it need to be flashed? If yes HOW with no display?
It's possible a flash could fix it. To do so without a display though, you would need to either use your processor's integrated graphics to drive a display or use a second GPU to do it.
I haven't tested it, but you might be able to connect to your system via RDP if it's already enabled
Why my ATI flash opens in cmd and i cannot see this window where I can upload the bios ?
It sounds like you're using the latest amdvbflash version, and the GUI was dropped in 5.x. You'll need to use an older version if you want the GUI, or the CLI if you have a newer card (like RX 6000 and 7000 series)
Any idea why the newest verison of AMDVBFlash / ATI ATIFlash (5.0.567) doesn't have the amdvbflashWin.exe file? I am at a dead end without that.
The GUI was retired in version 5, so it's only the CLI tool. I plan on making a video for the CLI at some point, but in the meantime there are some guides online on how to use it
Version 4.71 was a Linux version, v 3.31 was for Windows, that's why 4.71 was older :)
Yeah I missed that little tidbit when I recorded this :)
After flashing P/N not showing on amdflashwin how will i know my bios is changed or not? My problem is my gpu is fluctuating its usage like 90% sometimes and sometimes it drops to 2% i am not getting the desired fps i have an used gigabyte rx 570
The GUI is a little finicky and it might be that the flash didn't take or something. But you might be able to view it from the amdvbflash CLI tool
Hi, i run the amdvbflash.exe and nothing pop just and it just appear blank cmd on the screen. please help!
Im having the same problem Amdvbflashwin is not showing up just AmdvbFlashDriverInstaller.exe can I use this or no it pops up a cmd screen and not sure what to do from there
How much time do you need to get to the point man? I'm trying to fix my gpu that can black out at any moment. But perhaps more damningly, this amdvbflashwin isn't in the download.
Yeah I rambled a bit, I try to do better but it happens a lot lol.
But the amdvbflashwin has been deprecated and removed from the latest version, you'll need to use the CLI now. I made a new video explaining how to use it 🙂

I agree. seller should make sure they are selling a working GPU. less headache
100% you can't expect the average user to be able to flash a VBIOS. But hey, it worked out in my case lol
Damn... im tryna flash my rx5600xt that i just bought second hand, because it keeps black screening when under a load, but nothing works... i tried the newest version of amdvbflash aswell as 2 other (older) atiflash versions. So the newest doesnt contain the amdvbflashWin file, and so i tried running the other executable, but it showed nothing but an empty console window (no commands or nothing worked). One of the older versions didnt recognize that i was using an ati/amd card and the other when trying to open it - did nothing... im losing my mind because in this state the gpu is useless and nothing works.
How old of a version did you try? IIRC 4.71 should be good for the RX 5000 series
i have one question i flash my gpu 3 time and in the 4 time i can't flash it what the selution
Honestly I'm not sure why you'd be unable to flash the VBIOS again. Maybe the ROM was locked at some point?
Sir i tried to flash my rx 580. And it just froze. I cant even hover my mouse cursor. Should i press restart button on my pc? or just leave it and maybe it'll finish flashing.
That's tough, but you may just have to force it off if it's stuck. It might've finished but maybe the driver had trouble with it? It's hard to say, but I'd be prepared to another flash just in case.
@@BitGoblin sir just an update, i just pressed the restart button on my pc and it started well. i flashed another vbios version compatible to my gpu and it all went well. Thank you for the tutorial you uploaded. God bless!
i have a problem with rx 570 sapphire pulse , it runs with no problems until it draw more than 90 watt if it excedds that it would black my screen and GPU fan speed reach 100%
i tried changing my PSU and even the Tried it on another PC , still got the same problem
what should i do ?
Hmm, I'm honestly not sure what to do in this case. Since you've ruled out power supply, PCI-e cables (from trying the new PSU) and your build, I'd lean toward it being something to do with the power delivery on your card or maybe the GPU itself is having trouble under load. But I'm not sure how you'd diagnose it further
This helped me a lot
thanks
You're welcome! :D
I have only the integrated bios registered on the tool afraid to hit program to want to mess up the integrated one any advise?
i have an xfx rx 570 8gb it has a clock speed at 1226mhz i checked all the rx 570 variants and the lowest clockspeed (defualt was 1244mhz) and xfx models had 1286mhz so im looking to gain that orignal clockspeed (1286mhz) can i do it safely
Yeah the vbios flash is pretty safe in my experience, as long as you have another GPU on standby to reflash it in case something goes wrong
I'm trying to flash my 7900xt with the latest bios update but there isn't an option for "amdvbflashWin", i don't have that option, so i cant get into the flash menu, apparently its been removed on the latest one, what other way can i do it bud? :-(
You'll have to do it from the CLI since you have one of the newer cards. I think there's instructions in the archive that's provided, and there's also a guide here on the techpowerup forum: www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/amd-ati-flash-command-line-cmd-syntax-mini-guide-windows.291671/
Hi I have done all the steps but still my Gpu does not take drivers, it still says (windows have stopped this device because it reported problems (code 43)
What GPU are you having trouble with? If it's an older one, it's possible the drivers you have installed are too new for the card.
It could also just be that the card is faulty in some other manner, though I don't know how to troubleshoot much further unfortunately.
It's an MSI RX 570 gaming X 4gb
thanks for your tutorial, but my gpu isn't even detected by the bios(or windows), so i can't even try
Hmm that is really odd... I'm assuming you've tried like a different PCIe slot if you have one? Or maybe in a different PC?
Will flashing my GTX Titan X essentially fix the 'nvlddmkm' error I receive?
6800xt has a 6950xt vbios in it. It works overall but when it comes to battlefield 2042 it has graphical anomalies the second you spawn on map and persists untill I resets the computer. I have went through a checklist for the last couple days trying to figure out where the problem was coming from.
It's possible the 6950 XT BIOS has your card on the edge and Battlefield 2042 might stress your card just the right way to push it over the edge. Have you tried potentially downclocking the core or memory clocks to see if that helps?
@@BitGoblin I was on a bit of a countdown, and I chose to return it to try and get my money back instead. I didn't undervolt or underclock it.
Oh good, that was the smart move! I wouldn't have even tried to flash it or anything so there's no complaints when I returned it lol
When i try to flash bios with the latest version it says p/n mismatch. But when i download the 3.04 version and open up the insttool 64, it opens up for a split second and then closes immediatley

dont u need the driver first for the flash tool to work?
You know, I don't know for sure. I'd assume so but I haven't tested it lol
Tried everything on the instructions. After rebooting, my gpu only shows lines. Please help😢
What GPU are you having trouble with? And have you tried it in another system or another PCIe slot?
@@BitGoblin same as yours. Rx570 powercolor. Tried on another system and same. Now it got worse because I think it shorted out because the whole system wont turn on if I got the gpu plugged.
Shoot, sorry I read your message and totally forgot to reply! It definitely sounds like something is messed up with the power on that card if it's not even able to power on. Do you have another card to test if the rest of the system works?
I have a Axle Rx 580 but I can't find the card vendor in the video bios collection . Any ideas?
Would this possibly match your GPU? www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/252821/252821
I went to Google and this page popped up from TechPowerUp. It's got a warning about an unverified BIOS file, so I wonder if that's why it wasn't popping up in their database search?
Hello mister, do I need to plug a NVIDIA card to do so? Or can I connect another AMD card?
P.S my AMD Sapphire 6600 XT shows no display like yours 570.
Nope! You can use any functioning graphics card (even integrated graphics) as long as you get a display.
Hello i bought a sapphire rx 5600 xt used in mining from china. on the GPU-Z it shows a different subvendor, powercolor instead of sapphire. this card seems to be modified what should i do? should i just flash the original bios?
Hmm, my guess would be to flash the vbios with an image for the model it should be. Unless maybe the graphics card was just mislabeled in the listing?
Can you help me? If i start the ATI program not running just a message show up what say " Cannot find discrete ATI Video card" but i have AMD Radeon RX 6600m.
Hmm, that's a tough one. If you haven't already, it might be worth trying to update your graphics driver, or trying a different version of ATIFlash. I'd also check if the device shows up in Device Manager.
does you need a second gpu to do this? I only has my only one
Nope, you can run it perfectly fine with just one GPU. It's just useful if you have a second in case the flash goes poorly
i can't find rx560 xfx 4gb ( 2 fan ) Vbios .
I was able to find this by googling it: www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/193232/193232 But it's likely not showing up in the VBIOS search because they haven't verified it yet. So I can't say this one would work properly, but it might be worth looking into.
I hope that helps! If you try it, let me know if it works or not.
why do I not have the GUI version of AMDBVVFlash when I extract the file from Techpowerup?
The GUI tool was discontinued with version 5.x, leaving only the CLI tool. If you're trying to flash an older card (before RX 7000 series I believe) then you should be able to use an older version.
Do you know how to fix SSID mismatch
I haven't run into this myself, but depending on your card you may be able to use an older (or different) version of amdvbflash to see if that helps.
Hi like you i purchased 3 gpu's from ebay and all 3 crash when the driver is loading. I replaced the thermal paste in them all but still the same result. I am going to try and flash the bios following your instructions and i hope that will remedy the problem, wish me luck. Great video cheers.
That's awesome :) I love seeing used hardware getting new life elsewhere. Let me know if you get them working! Good luck

I have same problem with my Asus RX 580 8GB mining edition with only DVi display port, it turns off display and the GPU fans stops while the CPU fan is still running….. I don’t know if I flash a new bios it will solve the problem
It's very possible it has a mining VBIOS that disables the displays and makes the fans hold off til it gets hotter. It's worth a shot IMO.
Hey i have an rx570 and i dontk know why after installing driver the fan suddenly turn off it wont turn on and the temperature reach high still it wont turn on and then i checked on the gpuz the ram and the core showing 0mhz and i tried with another driver it still the the same, i was frustrated i swappee with another motherboard and it still the same, could it be a mining bios? I was bought it used rx570 sapphire nitro
It sounds like it could be a vbios issue, especially since it can't read the core clock or anything. Definitely worth a shot to reflash it
I dont think you answer but i need vbios for Xfx rx 470 8gb, not 4 but 8 gb card...
Were you not able to find an image on the TechPowerUp website?
When I place my known working rx 580 into the main top pcie slot while having the bad rx 580 in the bottom pcie slot the good one won't display and VGA motherboard debug light is on. Help?
Huh that's an odd one. I'm assuming you have a sufficient power supply for both GPUs? And does the system post at all or do you not even see the bios splash screen?
650w EVGA G6 psu so covered there.
No display or bios post?!
So i have an old rx 470 that i plan on upgrading the gddr5 1gb vram chips to gddr6 2gb chips. I'm pretty sure I'll need to update the bios chip. Will it support the new 2gb chips? Because when I type in the parameters, there won't be a gddr6 16 gb version on the 470 on their website.
Perhaps I answered my own question lol. Too bad Nvidia doesn't make a universal bios version where we can make our own parameters.
Seems so lol. But I have no experience with modding my GPUs with more VRAM so I wouldn't be of much help unfortunately.
Am having RX 580 XFX AMD Graphic card if I plug it in my system unit the PC will switch off
I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand what you're saying - it doesn't power on when you install the graphics card?
i have dual bios card the other bios gets code 43, can i use the bios from the other bios?
I'm sorry, are you asking if you can flash the working VBIOS to the other side? If so, I believe that should be doable - you'd just need to save the VBIOS from the working side, then use the resulting rom to flag the other.
Can you please tell me how did you convince the seller to gives you a refund ? Because i have an issue like this but he says to me that i need to install a bios to the gpu and he send to me a bios file and i don't know if it will fix the issue or not
Honestly I didn't do much to convince them, they just accepted the return request when I filed it through eBay. It was a very thorough request with all the things I tried, so maybe they just saw I tried and nothing worked?
Tbh I wouldn't accept that as a possible fix and push for the refund. Requiring you to modify the card in anyway (including flash the vbios) could muddy the waters in the event he wants to fight it, giving them a chance to claim you messed it up somehow with the flash.
@@BitGoblin
Okey i'll try my luck
I flashed mine also, but after working fine for hours, it starting again to have same symptoms like before I flashed
What are the symptoms? The new VBIOS might've been hiding something faulty with the card, or might've just been a coincidence you didn't experience the issues for a bit.
Total shot in the dark, but depending on the age of the GPU it might be the core or the VRAM are degrading, and the new VBIOS you flashed dialed back the clocks just enough to be fine for a hot minute.
@@BitGoblin I bought it faulty, as being completely dead, after I flashed the bios worked fine for a few hours, and I think it would it work a lot of hours continuosly, but in the morning when I start the pc , same issue, now I flashed the bios again and gave a few restarts of the pc , and is fine so far
I downloaded the AMDVBFlash file from the website, but the *win file isn't there so im not able to get to the program. What do i do?
disable your antivirus, same happend to me.
Unfortunately newer version of the amdvbflash tool don't come with the Windows GUI tool anymore and you must use the CLI tool. I'll make a tutorial in the future on how to use the CLI.
I had some real bad timing on this one lol...
@BitGoblin that would be great. I'll keep an eye out for it. Until then, my rx 580 will just be chilling in the closet, haha. Take it easy, BitGoblin!
it doesn´t appear the "BIOS version" sequence number for me, what I can do about that? 😭
You can possibly try another version of amdvbflash, or maybe try the CLI if you're up for it.
I have an 8GB RX 580 2048sp that came with artifacts, in some games the textures flicker black, in not so demanding games it works normally, just like being in a common app, will changing the BIOS solve the problem?
Good question! It's possible it would fix it, but artifacting to me would suggest that the memory is bad (most likely, since less demanding on the VRAM) or possibly the GPU itself is having errors.
Flashing a new firmware shouldn't hurt though, it's definitely worth a shot if nothing else :)
When i extract the zipped file, i do not see the ( amdflashWin ) file at all..
Idk what to do tbh now
Yeah, the GUI was retired in version 5, so you need to use the CLI tool. I plan on doing a tutorial for how to do it in the future, but there should be some tutorials available online as well :)
I had pretty bad timing with this video lol.
@@BitGoblin Any idea what's the current method to reinstall vbios now? Cheers
I'm getting an error message saying (SubsystemIDs mismatch) when I click the Program button. I did everything as you instructed please help.
Some people have gotten around this error by using an older version of amdvbflash, like 2.9.3
Thx for the tip I will give it a try tomorrow and let you know if it works.
2.93 does not have a download option on the Techpowerup website for some reason I guess I will try 2.84. Do you know if I can download 2.9.3 somewhere else?
Update: 2.84 wont load and I think this card was used by minors and has been changed to be a R9 380X because when I click on Lookup on the GPU-Z at the top right of the application it takes me to a 380X not what I have that is a Asus R9 380. Not sure what to do at this time. The reason I'm trying to update the Bios is this GPU's sound via HDMI is cutting out and I cant enter my Bios on my computer with it installed but I can with my other GPU and I was hoping doing this would resolve both or at least one of the problems.
@azrabain8210 so if you click on show older versions and do a ctrl-f search for 2.93 I was able to find it. But that version was only a guess, maybe one of the 3.x ones will work if you haven't tried it yet.
I think the vbios being wrong could definitely affect booting into the bios, but idk about the hdmi audio. But we'll see if you can get a version of amdvbflash to work lol
I tried them all, and none of them worked. I have no idea what else to try. I just don’t understand why it’s giving me the error
I get failed to flush my card and geting in some issues i flushed my card then its show to reboot and they didn't give me display what should i do know
How about i dont have a 2nd GPU? it is possible to fix it?
It's not required to have a second GPU to do the flash, it just helps in the event you need to troubleshoot a bad flash. Or in my case where my GPU wasn't outputting any display signal. :)
If you need it though, you can use the integrated graphics on your CPU if it has one. Or maybe get a cheap used GPU to output a display.
Why doesn't mine show "amdvbflashwin.exe" 😢😢😢😢😢
Look at the older versions of that download and select the version he has shown.
This could be worth a try. Back in April I installed a new update in Adrenaline from AMD and eversince I had horrible problems with the performance of my 6800XT. Tried a buch of stuff but nothing worked. Not even resetting motherboard bios and reinstalling windows several times. Maybe this helps 🤔
Huh, that's weird that a driver update would've borked a graphics card like that. I could maybe see if it was an older card that dropped support, but the 6800 XT is not old lol.
I'd suspect maybe it was a bug in the driver unless you've tried a few different versions since then. A vbios flash could help if the image loaded on the card got borked somehow
@@BitGoblin Directly after the new update in April I tried to go back to the older version of adrenaline and the drivers which worked without problems. It made things a bit better but still had problems. I also tried a few newer updates which followed in the months after April but ... Out of luck again.
Last week I ended up getting a 4070, installed it and all the problems are completely gone. Everything works as it should. But now I have a 6800XT laying around here without a idea what's wrong 😅
Hello, I have a Sapphire Nitro+ Rx 580 8gb It has dual bios. When I switch to the Performance bios It's showing Msi vendor with lower Memory and high clock speed 1380and 1750. I am planning to flash it and revert it back to the original Sapphire 1411 and 2000mhz bios. But when I install the flashing tool It only contains 6 files there is no amdflashWin file. When I run the AmdVbflashInstaller and Install the tool It won't showup, I don't know what to do can you help?
Since you're work with an RX 580, try using an older version of amdvbflash (before version 5.x). The GUI was dropped in newer releases and only ships with a CLI tool now.
@@BitGoblin hello, thanks for the response. I tried the 2.93 version and forceflashed it and now its working. 😀
Awesome! :D I'm glad it's working now!
Same problem with my asus dual rx480 8gb this that solution risk for it ?
Yep, it fixed my RX 570 4GB at least :) it's also possible you have a different issue, but the flash is worth a shot!
It just says my cpu name in the amddvflash program
Do you have an APU, perhaps?
I have a question I got a gigabyte 5700xt and it's core clock is at 788 base and not on its 1700ish base what can I do
If you haven't already a BIOS flash could help if the previous owner flashed a different BIOS on there to limit the clock speed
@@BitGoblin oh okay so doing this might be able to fix the problem? This video shows how to do that?
I tried doing this but It won't open the little window
Can card be used on pcie x4 ??
Yeah it should work, though you may be limiting the performance of your card with 1/4 the bandwidth
bro the tool that you mentioned atiflash when i extract it just doesnt give me complete files when i run the installer nothing happens pls help
Unfortunately the GUI was retired in version 5, so it's only the CLI tool. I plan on making a video for the CLI at some point, but in the meantime there are some guides online on how to use it
@@BitGoblin ok thanks 👍
I have a XFX RX 580 8GB with corrupted bios, no ATIFlash or AMDVBFLHASHWIN that I try works, it always gives Windows 8 error or something, is there any file that I can use to reinstall the bios of my 580? thanks
(I use windows 11)
What version of amdvbflash did you use? It's possible you might need to use an older version (or a newer one if you have a really old version).
Hi, i got an issue with my rx 580, it doesn't have many problem but only when i play a game it suddenly crashed and the monitor is blinking, should i flash my gpu ?, or there's something else i can do instead ?
It's worth a stab. Have you tried like reinstalling the AMD driver? And does this happen with any other GPUs (if you have another)?
@@BitGoblin Yes i did that, but the result is the same, and yes i have another GPU but that is broken too
I have an internal graphics card, but when I add Rx 580 2048SP , it doesn't show up in my computer !!! Please help me
Do you see another Display Display Device or something along those lines in Device Manager? If so, it might be you have to install the AMD drivers for it to show up.
Hi I just bought a second hand RX580 when I make a benchmark test,it will crash with a black screen and solution sir?
A few things I would try if you haven't already:
- Update your OS and drivers for the GPU
- Use a program like hwinfo64 to watch GPU thermals when you're running a benchmark to make sure it's not overheating
- Try the GPU in another system to determine if it's the GPU or your PC
A VBIOS flash might help, but this sounds more like a hardware issue than firmware.
@@BitGoblin but the weird things when I watch TH-cam or surf internet it working as normal
I bought an Aisurix 5500 XT and gpu-z shows it as a non XT- 5500. im guessing this would probably help. the screen randomly flashes black then goes back to normal. happens at idle or load, whenever it feels like it.
Yeah it's definitely worth a shot - sounds like someone flashed a different BIOS on that card to change clock speeds or something.
Let me know how it goes!
@@BitGoblin yea I think when Aisurix got their pallets of gpu’s they just popped a new cooler on the board with new stickers and flashed it. I want to get ahold of a second gpu just in case this one bricks. it does read the same clocks and performance just the screen flickering randomly is annoying. Thank you very much for having made this tutorial!
why am i getting a commmand prompt version o f the ati application?
The GUI version was retired in version 5, so you need to use the CLI version now unfortunately. There's a PDF manual for the CLI tool and there should be some detailed guides online. Or I'll make one eventually :)
Bought an rx 6700xt of ebay worked for a few weeks then stopped putting out a display then vga light comes on not display put my other graphics card in and works fine any ideas what steps to take tryed everything i can think of and found on internet but no luck am not to clever with all this thanks
A VBIOS flash could help with that. If not I'd try returning it if it's not too late 😬
@@BitGoblin have you got a video in this ?
Video on using the CLI? Not yet unfortunately - between work travel, vacation and some family stuff it's been hard to sit down and make a video for awhile. But it is on my list of things to do shortly :)
@@BitGoblin great I am not super tecky with this stuff sadly so look forward to a video to help me out and hopefully it works 🤞
@emmam0442 it's no problem! In the meantime, you can probably follow this written guide on the TechPowerUp forum to get the flash done with the CLI

i have sapphire pulse rx 580 8gb 2048sp v2
my pc randomly crashes and freezes after some time, sometimes it shows artifects and then go completely black, when i cut off my power it runs again for a minute or two, is it a hardware or a bios issue ?
It could be a hardware or vbios issue, but I'd guess possibly it's a power or cooling issue. Is there any way you can view the temps in the BIOS or something before it crashes? Or you could try a different power supply if you have one to see if maybe it's related to power.
@@BitGoblin I don't think its a heating or a power supply issue because even when i max out fans to 100% it still crashes, in normal usage the temps stays in 36-40C,
in furmark it goes 84, and i used it in my friend's pc with a different psu it still crashes, so psu is not the issue here either,
did you manage to make it work? im having the same issue with my rx580 8gb
if u did, how did u fixed it?
Man, i did it on a 6700xt everything went fine, now my pc wont start, only blackscreen after the pc tries to fix it itself… what can i do now? Is my gpu fucked now or can i reset it somehow to the old bios pelase help man
Yeah you should be able to flash your old VBIOS to the card, you would just need to use another GPU to handle your display while you flash the VBIOS.
The RX 570 4GB that I was using for the demo would give me blackscreens on certain VBIOS versions, so I just used a Quadro P1000 to boot to Windows and do another flash to a working version :)
Same issues here . i tried everything and nothing work
if you find a sloution please tell me
is this can set my amd graphics to default bcs i have sort of errors after updates bcs it is dugget up
It's possible it can help though I wouldn't expect it to. Usually updates would just affect the driver and not the hardware, and it's possible you need to do a clean install of your drivers if you're seeing recurring issues.
What kind of issues are you seeing? And what GPU is it?
So I want to flash an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT 16GB, but have no onboard graphics (Ryzen) and Radeon is not being detected by windows. I have an Nvidia 1080 I can use to get windows onto monitor. My question is ... do I have to connect power to Radeon card (3 X 8 Pin connectors) as I am already using 2 X 8 Pin connectors to power my Nvidia card? Many thanks...
Yes, you will need to have all of the power connectors plugged into your card so it can be properly powered on when your system starts up.
thamkyou @@BitGoblin
You're welcome! :D
Amdvbflash versions 3.31 vs 4.71 are different because of different OS
Yep! I somehow missed that when I made this video, but I actually explained it better in my newer video on the amdvbflash CLI :)
Hi sir I did all these things, but at the last stage, the system told me that the BIOS of the company was already installed on the card, but in many games it does not use the real power and has a large performance drop.
Is there another way to change the BIOS card, it has probably already been done with my card and the card was overclocked in the MSI Afterburnt settings, please guide me.
I would try a different version of the BIOS that you can find on TechPowerUp - my card had a few different versions, and if the version you're trying to flash has the same version string as what's already on the card then it won't let you flash it.
@@BitGoblin Is it possible to change the version of the BIOS file before installing it to solve my problem during installation?
My RX6700XT Memory type are from Micron and all the bios is Samsung only i cant find the Micron type from the tech powerup bios is it gonna be a huge problem if i just install it?
I think it should be fine? I don't know if the memory chips would make a (huge) difference in the VBIOS, but if you try it let me know how it works!
@@BitGoblin I don't want to take the risk and brick my only card lol
Fair point lol
I get an display driver not installed error with the flash tool, but I cannot install displaydrivers because of the mining bios what can I do? Please let me know.
What OS are you on? I've seen that happen before when running an older Windows version that isn't supported anymore.
You could also try running the AMDVBFlashDriverInstaller.exe tool that comes with the AMDVBFlash ZIP download.
@@BitGoblin yes, thank you it works now. I used the latest windows 10, thats why I was confused to see this error. But I flashed it succesfully. Thank you very much for your amazing video and help!
Awesome, I'm glad to hear that! Can I ask what you did differently to get it to work?
@Bit Goblin just like you said, I ran the amdvbflashdriver installer instead of using normal drivers and it worked perfectly!
Can I change firmware while I'm using, or do I need 2 video cards to do the process?
Yep! You can definitely flash the VBIOS of a running GPU. :) The only reason I had a second was to use for display when the RX 570 wasn't working.
@@BitGoblin Thank you! I'm not able to change my current firmware then I thought that could be the case
