Hello guys, i bought a used RX 570 Gigabyte 4G and im sure there is something wrong, like used for mining, as i cant install the drivers giving me error 43 from Windows, but when i use the ATIKMDAG patcher its fine, but after playing a Little with games it crashes

MY PC:
ASUS PRIME A320M-K
Ryzen 5 1400
12GB RAM
Windows 10 64 bit Pro
 
Sounds like it has a custom bios, which will cause the driver to not install without pixel patcher being run each time the system is rebooted. You will need the stock bios and flash it. Sort of a tricky process and can sometimes "brick" the GPU. Out of the 30+ times I've flashed an AMD GPU bios (for mining), only about 4 times it "bricked", but each time I was able to recover by forcing a bios flash using Windows command prompt.

Try to find the original bios here - https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/

Hello i tried with the original bios found there in techpowerup and ATI flash gives me the error : "different subsystems ID" or something like that, my pc is in spanish and im trying to translate what i can
 
Install and run GPU-Z and find out the memory type (Hynix, Samsung, Micron, etc.).


You might have to run the pixel patcher and have a driver installed for GPU-Z to correctly read your GPU's memory.

I would also ask the seller you bought the card from is they have the original bios available to send you.
 
Do you have a spare GPU to use for a display output in case you brick this GPU? If not, then you might want to refrain from flashing the bios.

The bios on TechPowerUP is for Hynix, but you really need a driver installed because I've seen it say one thing without a driver and another with a driver.
