Hey! I bought a RX 580 which cannot be recognised by windows unless I run a patch file after every graphics driver update. Would anyone out there have the original BIOS so I can flash it back from the mining one that it currently has? I saw a few options on VGA BIOS Collection on the tech power up website, but cannot figure out which one is the right one as they are all very similar.

The exact model I have is here: AFOX Radeon RX 580 2048SP (4GB & 8GB) - Radeon RX 500 Series - AFOX (afox-corp.com)

Thanks in advance!

I doubt anyone would be having the original BIOS of this AFOX branded GPU.

First of all, Afox is not very popular AIB brand, and they mostly use second hand chips to make their GPUs, and even used Mining chips. Easy to buy these cards in ASIA, Brazil and Russia though.

Many worldwide don't even know the name of this AIB. There have been many controversies and debates regarding whether AFOX is a legit AIB board partner of either AMD or Nvidia. But anyway, they do make LEGIT cards as well.

Is there no BIOS on TPU's database ? Check the card's Device ID and match the same with the one listed under the VBIOS file.
