Question GIGABYTE 5700 XT Bios mod fails

[AlleyCat]

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

Thanks a lot, flash working.

You are welcome.

I'm not 100 procent sure, BE as in Belgian? Than yes I think so ok thank you I will check your previous post, was just so spooked out after the bricked gpu so little afraid of experimenting. Cannot hide that these are my first gpu flash steps

My apologies, BE here is for the Sapphire card.

No worries @Mini_Me
I tried to acces a link you provided but got an error message trying to download it.
Can you please send it to me ?
I also cannot find the memory type, it only shows GDDR6 in GPU-Z, or can I find it somewhere else ?

Thanks so much

I can not flash vbios with modded one by the instructions. I modded the original and when I flash it the system didnt recognize(win and hiveos). Its a Gigabyte RX57XT GAMING OC rev2. I saw @Mini_Me uploaded some bios but he said are for AORUS or with Micron Mem.

Some help pls.
I think this card only have 1 vbios. Im correct?

Than you all!!

 

[Japanitor]

Thanks for clearing that up, when I try to flash I get an error saying "subsystemIDs mismatch" when using the latest amdflash. I tried the amdvbflash command prompt way before and got my gpu bricked. What do you recommend I do ? Sorry for all the troubles..

Yes I had the same problem as @joperor, modded the original one and flashed with amdvbflash and got it messed up. Than I used the latest amdflash to reflash it back to the stock rom and got it back to work. So I don't know what is the best way now. Thanks!

Same. I can reflash to original and works, but I cant use a modded one.

Hello friends,
on some russians forums ppl talk about that there are newer vbios which is some sort signed and when moded and flashed back it leads to brick because of missing signature.
They mentioned that you can see if that one is signed, 1550mhz is signed and 1500mhz is old without signature...
Can anyone confirm that?
I have Asus Dual Evo 5700XT and TUF 5700XT and i plan to mod them for better hashing and lower power but last days i talked to a many ppl on discord and there are SO many of them who bricked their 5700XT...
I'm not the guru, but i did flashing before, on HD6950 to 70 and so on, or unbricked my china phone with pin shorting, forcing maskmode...so i know a little bit.
And according to the ppl, they used the last two flash utilities from here and bios from techpowerup or their own backed up, modded with RBE, most of them just copypasted 1500/1550 timings to the rest bigger values...so just standart...and most of them bricked and i just cant understand how and why...
Have someone thoughts on that?

Same. I can reflash to original and works, but I cant use a modded one.

according to some russian forums, you need an older vbios from techpowerup, which does not have signature, you can see it at 1500 or 1550 mhz, you need 1500mhz bios

Please use amdvbflash v2.93+ with -f to force flash it or change the Sub-Id (SSID) in RedBiosEditor to match your card old vbios.

Please everyone remember,

Gigabyte Gaming vbios F40 is with Samsung memory and all other versions are with Micron memory,

Gigabyte Aorus vbios F80 is with Samsung memory and all other versions are with Micron memory.

Hello nice to meet you, i've red most of your "how to" threads, you're genius!
I still have my rig not completed yet, so the only way to read the bios of my cards is to put them into my pc.
So just unlock with amdvbflash -unlockrom 0/1?
I will post my backed up bios from both cards tomorrow, so we can figure out and i can learn a bit from a master.
Thousand thank yous and wish you good night!

Please, use the official Gigabyte bios with its own flashtool in the kindly attached link below to reflash and fix any bricked Gigabyte RX 5700/5700 XT GAMING card:

How to update the BIOS of your graphics card ? - By Windows (only for Gigabyte RX 5700 XT GAMING OC): 1. Extract the downloaded GV-R57XTGAMING-OC-8GD-FA0.zip below. 2. Boot to Windows Safe Mode and execute GV-R57XTGAMING-OC-8GD.exe as an Administrative. 3. Click StratFlash. 4. Wait for the update to complete and reboot. - By FreeDOS (for all Gigabyte RX 5700/5700 XT GAMING): 1. First disable secure boot in bios settings, 2.

Hi and welcome,

Please check your card memory type in RedBiosEditor.

Hello everyone,
I have AORUS Radeon™ RX 5700 XT 8G (rev. 2.0) with micron memory, whenever i try to edit the original bios the card gets bricked. I have tried some unlocked bios from the internet, i was able to edit and get the hashrate i need and it seems stable. However, i am getting very high power consumption (139W in hiveos) 1350/750/910mem. with original bios, same settings i get 99W.

Is there anyway to unlock the original bios (attached), so i can get the required hashrate with low power consumption?

Use a version of hiveos in which video drivers ... open cl 20.40 .. to be 19.30 ... They are the best and stable drivers for mining at the rx 5xxx series. Good day !

 

[Japanitor]

@Mini_Me it worked to get your rom flashed! Thanks for the help!
Only problem is now that it doesn't really improve the hashrate or power consumption, on this version I get 54.8 with 115W and with the stock bios I got 54.8 with 111W. Tried tweaking everything in Afterburner but didn't get any improvements, am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks!

Hi,

Has anyone experience with Hynix GDDR6 ?
I have 4 gpu s of MSI RX 5700 XT(Biosmode+ TREF 7020) and i thing these are unstable, with my settings but i m not sure maybe it is the hardware (CPU MEM ).
A reference would be great for me

Thanks

~ Micron (MT61K256M32JE-14),
Memory clock at 910 MHz for power saving and lower temperature like for Samsung memory and 950 MHz for performance, VDDCI at 890 mV (850 mV is the minimum for memory clock 910 MHz and below), MVDD 1365 mV [the minimum is 1350 mV for memory clock 910 MHz and below],

~ Micron,
- 1415 MHz, 790 or 800 mV: 935 (1870/2) MHz, 875 mV, 1350 mV, ~ 57.10 MH / s,
- 1430 MHz, 800 or 810 mV: 950 (1900/2) MHz, 890 mV, 1365 mV, ~ 58.10 MH / s.

I have 5700XT with Micron memory, and am trying to follow the guide, but I can't figure out how to raise VDDCI from 875mV or 890mV

I'm using HiveOS, and it only accepts values from 750mV to 850mV for VDDCI.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

From HiveOS:

The default value for VDDCI is 850 mV. The permissible range is 750-850 mV.
The default value for MVDD is 1350 mV. The permissible range is 1250-1350 mV.
