Hi,
I am failing to update Gigabyte 5700 XT. The same procedure updates the BIOS on MSI cards with no problem. I follow the instructions on Igors Lab.

The sign of having trouble with the card bios flash shows in GPU-Z. After flash using amdvbflash the values of GPU and memory frequencies is empty. With stock bios there are Mhz frequencies.

Is there any known problems with flashing Gigabyte cards?
Any suggestions on what other forums I may ask for assistance?
Is it possible that the OEM bios is signed, and any modified bios will be rejected?
If the bios is signed, any tools to resign, or would I need to buy a card from a different vendor?

Thanks,

Alley Cat

Good question...I was pondering this same question myself when I flashed XT bios on my non XT card. Same performance but roughly same power consumption as yours (I couldnt get it under 112W).
Thanks for the explanation.
You can disable the secure boot in the motherboard bios settings after finish flashing the vbios you can enable the secure boot again.
I could not find a security option in the bios of Gigabyte GAZ170X-UD5 https://www.gigabyte.com/ca/Motherboard/GA-Z170X-UD5-rev-10#ov
 
Thank you very much, and I wish the same to you.

I plan to test Apple mem straps if they could boost performance more. I just need to get mobo for testing.

Is it possible to save optimization parameters made by phoenixminer so it wont re-optimize every time system reboots?
also, my autofan is acting very weirdly (as you can see from fan speed in image). Is there any remedy for this? autofan option says that "remember to disable fan control in miner" but I dont know how to disable fan control in phoenixminer.
Yes you can, by saving the setting in the confg.txt inside the Phoenixminer folder.

The bios of the XT version on non XT version will still reserve power for the extra 4 compute units even though these are physically missing way the bios of the XT version was programmed.

Thank you for your kind and informative sharing, we really appreciate that,

You may have a good day,

Regards.
 
Unbelievable results! I hope these cards are in sale someday in my country. I would love to build 14x rig with these
Actually no need for that, what you need is to increase your Micrin memory clock to 955 MHz or 960 MHz with core clock at 1435 MHz or 1440 MHz with modified vram straps and you will get the same hash rate,

I would like to request a simple favor from your kindself which is to take a screenshot or photo for the Feature Control of the PPTable Features under Features tab in the MorePowerTool v1.2 or above of your MSI RX 5700 Gaming whenever it is possible,
When you open the MorePowerTool v1.2 as an Administrator, the Feature Control will be the first thing in front of you, by clicking on the Feature Control a new window will open and here you can take the screen shot or photo for it,

Many thanks in advance.

Do you know why a GIgabyte/Micron 5700 XT card takes 745 to 750 mv to run at a clock rate of 1410 MHz, and a Sapphire/Micron 5700 XT will need 790 to 800 mv for the same clock rate?

Thanks.

Good morning. Please find the pictures of the Feature Control for four cards.

Excellent work you have done here and thank you very much for your kind help,

I am awaiting Calathia for the Feature Control photo of MSI RX 5700 Gaming non XT,

After that we check and compare between the Feature Control of the non XT and XT version for any differences that may lead us to the reason that make the bios of non XT consume less power than than the bios of XT version.
 
i have 2 GPU AORUS RX 5700 XT (115W) and Gigabyte Gaming OC RX 5700 (mod to XT 109W)
