Does anyone have XFX 580 8GB bios? I have XFX 480 RS 8GB and would love to try this out. I remember doing this to my 5850, flashing it to 5870

How much this will affect temperatures on vram ?
All my cards that were OCed and vram was not cooled enough died after 2-4 years.
HD4850 , HD4870, HD6870, FX5800 and i think another one. ALL died same way or very similar , starts with small artifacts (white dots for example, or green artifacts).
If it doesnt affect temperatures badly, i would do it without hesitation , if i had dual bios or second card i can flash bios i this fails!.

I've just talked Pong recently so that made my day man, ty. Decaf day... If you do coffee endurance training, you understand breaks are a must (albeit, rendering slower up-take) Paddles were also in my youth and most certainly within too short a reach from parents and grandparents..
Especially since, you're a relative youngster to some of us. Pong wasn't a thing in my youth...unless it used the actual paddles and balls.

Could anyone that has been able to flash a 470 to 570 or 480 to 580 download the Nicehash GUI Miner from nicehash.com and run the benchmarks for the GPU? If you want to speed it up you could just check the 2 "DaggerHashimoto" algorithms that are at the top of the benchmark section and leave the rest unchecked.

Nice that this works on the AMD cards. I'd love it if I could flash my Titan X (Pascal) to the new Titan Xp, too. But I guess that won't work with Nvidia.

Took the rx 580 1450mhz Sapphire bios, edited with my mild oc with undervolt and 1750 ram timings:
New limit in wattman for vcore is 1.200 (1.150 before)
No issues in windows for now, gonna try games in a bit...
How are games going then Asder, I'm a bit scared to try this, we have the same card, could you give me a blow by blow account of what to do please

It would probably be fine with an AIB card with the 8 pin PCI-e. But remember the reference 480's that only came with 6 pin PCI-e. AMD had to reconfigure the drivers because there was a chance it could draw to much voltage from the motherboard socket and damage the board. The 580 draws more power than the 480 as it is clocked higher, so this could potentially make it even more of an issue.
Why worry? what could happen ?

That did not effect custom boards from AIB partners. Just the early reference models.

AMeDeus Rebrandus Maximus wants his RX 5x0 card back.
Same ol', same ol', move along, nothing to see here...
AMD should send out 5 series stickers to anyone who bought a 4 series. So, you have an RX470?

Presto-chango... Done! You've got an RX570 now!

Yes, that is very true. I just put that out there as there is bound to be someone with a reference board that tries this and could potentially kill the motherboard.

I thought this power draw thing was a problem only for the people with cheap motherboards. And the fact that AMD fixed this with drivers means that was mainly a software problem, fixed already for the 480 and not present in the 580. So I guess flashing the bios won't bring back the old software configuration of the reference 480.
As for the 6 pin power connector, as far as I know this can deliver more than 150W (up to 200), not the 75W some say, and PCI-E 3.0 is designed to deliver more power than the PCI-E 2.0. In other words the 6 pin connector shouldn't limit the overclocking capability of the card when using a motherboad with PCI-E 3.0 slot and the power draw for this card shouldn't be a problem eventually, because it could handle it without damage.
Now, I'm far from expert on this regard, I know only what I read, so I can be wrong, but I kinda trust Roman

Anyone not worried that the RX480 has only 1 PCIE Connector (apart from certain vendor models) and the RX580 has 2 PCIE Connectors!??
I can see people bricking their cards this way, unless you edited the BIOS files to lower the clock speeds... then what is the point really they are both identical cards anyway?

Great to see this, since there's little actual hardware changes, this is quite nice to allow people to do.
This won't work just like with AMD card that don't have the same chip on them... "up-flashing" only works if your chip has all the same cores. (See the example between 270X and 370X for instance, above.)

I just flashed my XFX RX480 XXX 8GB version with the sapphire limited edition bios...
had to use atiwinflash -p 0 -f bios.rom
installed drivers now runs 1411/2000 and says RX580 woot
EDIT:
Battlefield 1 keeps crashing with a directx error... i have tried bumping volts and clean driver installs....
I am going to try downclocking now to see if it stables out

Did you try the powerlimit? How much extra volt did you add?

Off hand only MSI has some models with duel PCIE, maybe more but haven't looked it up. My NITRO+ 480 8G OC only has one and that's the first thing I thought off. I'll just wait for a few to see more reviews and threads before I do it.

so if I just downclock to 1390 it runs fine...
going to try and bump to +6 voltage and +5 power limit see if it holds at 1400

Out of curiosity, do you have the XFX XXX with the blower style fan (like the reference card) or the one with the custom fans?
If you flashed the Sapphire bios, this comes probably with a custom fan profile tailored on the Sapphire cooler. That is also a thing to consider and look at when using different cards bios.

Mine comes with the dual fan and passive fans. I just set mine to 100% all the time. I game so loud I do not care about fans...
Can not get stable at 1400 no matter how much voltage or power limit is thrown at it.
I am sticking with 1390 which is up from my last highest of 1340. so its better in the long run at moment. if I notice to many issues I will just switch to other bios and switch when different drivers come out for testing

Well few ppl reported around 50 MHz or even more OC with the new 580 bios top of the highest OC they had before.
Also you could try the 1450 bios but nothing will be guaranteed.

Not totally sure I see the worth in risking a flash when you can just auto load an overclock if the cards are the same.
Flashes in the past that unlock more cores n stuff sure, but just a higher clock, err.

Still getting a DirectX error, but it could just be the RX580 drivers. I had same issue with 480 when it came out. so I bet better drivers will help and maybe using the xfx 580 bios instead of sapphire.
