HI so my gpu (MSI R9270) which when I got it was told that is was and R9 290 2gb version and some how I did not find out that is was an R9270 instead for over 3 years until recently it started causing some issues with setting up multiple displays I decided to flash bios and since I taught that it was a R9 290 I downloaded its bios which is for a 4gb model and Flashed it and I am Pretty Sure That I Bricked It I have tried to flash the backup I made earlier of the old bios thru ATI flash but it does not detect my gpu neither is there any video output although the gpu was a little warm I've tried every thing I could find online even the tried using the dos version of ATI Flash but even it does not detect my gpu so this is my last hope any ideas on how to fix this ??​

pc specs:
Dell OptiPlex 9020
Core i5 4590
2 4gb stick's of ram
Gpu: Msi R9270 2gb version

There is no 2GB version of R9 290. All of them are 4GB ones. Also, what stopped you to put the Device ID from GPU-Z into Google (1002 6811), to know what GPU you actually have?
I looked up the Device ID and got this as 1st result,

Buy a new GPU.
With wrong BIOS install attempt, GPU is bricked and not recoverable.

Take it as a life lesson and don't trust others. Also, do your own due diligence and check hardware ID from software, e.g CPU-Z, GPU-Z, HWinfo64 etc.
