I recently bought a second hand Sapphire RX 580 Pulse OC 8GB and it was working well, but I read somewhere that a newer bios would improve performance, so I found the newest bios for it on techpowerup.com.
Well after flashing, it wouldn't even post. I flipped the dual-bios switch to compute mode and it booted, then I flipped the switch while the PC was on and tried to flash a number of other BIOS onto it, but none of them worked. Some of them allowed my PC to boot, and worked fine up until I tried playing ANY game, then it crashed. The compute mode bios is what I'm using right now, but gaming is less than ideal since it's a slower clock.

It's Samsung memory, and yes I made sure I was downloading the right bios. I even tried the unverified section on techpowerup, but none of them worked. Did I just straight up brick my GPU, or do I just need to find the one bios that will work?
