How To Flash AMD GPU VBIOS

[@BitGoblin]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXTUYaKQYs5nnpY

[@pcstream1248]

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.?

[@BitGoblin]

Honestly none that I'm aware of. Best I can say is to compare the details on each VBIOS, unfortunately.

@pcstream1248 that's good to hear!

[@ivanjakanov]

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

[@HumbertoPatricio]

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!! 👋🤝

[@BitGoblin]

You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to help you get your graphics card back to working condition! :D

[@foggeh]

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. 👍

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.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

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.

[@lukasd4575]

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

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

@@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.

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.

[@BitGoblin]

[@LePedant]

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.

[@BitGoblin]

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.

Version 4.71 was a Linux version, v 3.31 was for Windows, that's why 4.71 was older :)

[@BitGoblin]

Yeah I missed that little tidbit when I recorded this :)

[@FoxyGekkerson]

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 KZbin 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?

[@BitGoblin]

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!

[@FoxyGekkerson]

@@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.

[@BitGoblin]

I would not have guessed that! 😅 let's hope an older MacOS works!

[@hanzotv3]

I agree. seller should make sure they are selling a working GPU. less headache

[@BitGoblin]

100% you can't expect the average user to be able to flash a VBIOS. But hey, it worked out in my case lol

[@exotic739]

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

[@BitGoblin]

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!

[@spaghetto181]

thanks for your tutorial, but my gpu isn't even detected by the bios(or windows), so i can't even try

[@BitGoblin]

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?

[@gageboy14]

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?

[@BitGoblin]

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

[@rafirahman6442]

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

[@BitGoblin]

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

[@johnaceto7126]

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.

[@BitGoblin]

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?

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

[@carismaticul]

I flashed mine also, but after working fine for hours, it starting again to have same symptoms like before I flashed

[@BitGoblin]

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.

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.

Help pleace! i have that problem with an rx550 and can't find a good vbios It's a powercolor rx550 2gb 64bit bandwith

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? :-(

[@BitGoblin]

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/

Looks like this morning didn't start again, but after a few attempts it's all normal

[@speedydanny4624]

only reason im looking to do a gpu vbios update with original or custom firmware...is to fix the fanspeeds on my 7900xt (the fancurve on the current bios...does not even bother to go above 60% speed while gpu temp goes above 100.C) and i think that is just wrong settings..

[@BitGoblin]

100% that's silly, epecially so if that's stock firmware! These days, any bit of cooling not utilized means you're leaving performance on the table. Let me know if your VBIOS flash goes well!

[@speedydanny4624]

@@BitGoblin i know very well,doing updates for bios/vbios is silly but i also do not update stuff without a good reason. i only do updates only in critical moments. i do have lots of reasons not to do it. 1.vbios can only be flashed around 5 times or less(on gpu) 2.some cases you cannot revert back to the stock one(this is for motherboards idk about gpus) 3.flashing vbios waranty voids (so NO UPDATES) 4.i can still control the fans just fine with a custom fan curve in adrenalin(so the problem is not critical or urgent) 5.never mess around when flashing a bios(here the chances sometimes are like 50-50% win or lose) for now i can stay just fine the way it is(as long adrenalin works in the background as it should) but i dont like the gpu having high temps and then going to thermal throttling because gpu hotspot is too high and fans wont spin fast enough for now il just stay and watch to see what problems appears on the web i can still wait a for a while

[@soundwave4642]

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)

[@BitGoblin]

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.

[@soundwave4642]

It's an MSI RX 570 gaming X 4gb

[@ArmiaKhairy]

I wanted to flash a new bios since my RX 570 doesn't support UEFI for some odd reason, believe it is a mining bios, therefore I will flash it.

[@BitGoblin]

Yeah that's definitely a weird behavior ... Let me know if the flash works!

[@ArmiaKhairy]

[@MrMarrok657]

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.

[@BitGoblin]

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!

[@MrMarrok657]

@@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!

[@adampapdancso8572]

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.

[@BitGoblin]

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.

[@roadnfc9767]

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

[@BitGoblin]

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

[@yusfifarkhan6714]

does you need a second gpu to do this? I only has my only one

[@BitGoblin]

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

[@paulf2480]

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?

[@BitGoblin]

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?

[@paulf2480]

650w EVGA G6 psu so covered there. No display or bios post?!

[@95ermis95]

I have a Axle Rx 580 but I can't find the card vendor in the video bios collection . Any ideas?

[@BitGoblin]

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?

[@deemac4952]

why do I not have the GUI version of AMDBVVFlash when I extract the file from Techpowerup?

[@BitGoblin]

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.

[@KBWarrioR2018]

Can i make rx 6600 to XT version with this?

[@BitGoblin]

It's possible. You might be able to make up some of the difference between the two models by increasing the core and memory clock speeds and increasing the power limit, but the 6600 XT also has more stream processors and ray accelerators that would also impact performance.

[@kingo_060]

I have RX 580 2048sp MLLSE , but it shows me '' mismatch '... any help :((????

[@BitGoblin]

What all have you tried so far to get this to work (e.g. reinstalling the Radeon drivers, or booting into Linux to see if it works there)?

[@badrodziri446]

How do i know if i have mining bios on my gpu ?

[@BitGoblin]

You can probably check the VBIOS version string through a tool like GPU-Z and compare it to known working versions on TechPowerUp. That won't tell you for sure, but should give you a good idea of what's on it. You can also check if the display outs were disabled on it, that'd be a pretty big tell.

[@aljean-h4h]

Now my pc wont display anything and the mouse and keyboard wont show power .. i unplug my gpu from the mother board put hdmi into hdmi on the motherboard and the mouse and keyboard show the lights and are connected but no picture .. reconnect my gpu no diplay just fans spinning no other sign of life

[@thihoanguyen6413]

It means your gpu has been bricked. Go try a fix

[@kulanahaputhanthrie125]

I have rx550 i flashed the bios and now its says no signal pls help😢

[@BitGoblin]

Sometimes the GUI can be a bit flaky and flash it to a weird state. You may need to try re-flashing it again - hopefully you have another GPU to use for a display!

[@kulanahaputhanthrie125]

Yeah but faulty gpu not detected by the mobo😢

[@dvr1337]

dont u need the driver first for the flash tool to work?

[@BitGoblin]

You know, I don't know for sure. I'd assume so but I haven't tested it lol

[@freedomination2]

Yes you install it, do the flash and then uninstall it with the same tool. Driver tool will install and also uninstall when you are done!

[@MuhammadIsmail-yz8dd]

Hi I just bought a second hand RX580 when I make a benchmark test,it will crash with a black screen and solution sir?

[@BitGoblin]

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.

is this can set my amd graphics to default bcs i have sort of errors after updates bcs it is dugget up

[@BitGoblin]

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?

[@dracul3691]

i followed your exact steps and flash was successful but nothing changed bios still the same and everything else?

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)

[@Ross_B]

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.

i have dual bios card the other bios gets code 43, can i use the bios from the other bios?

[@BitGoblin]

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.

I don't believe you can? You can flash your BIOS without a 2nd GPU using amdvbflash, you just definitely want to make extra sure you're using a compatible VBIOS so you don't lose the display on your graphics card :)
