[SOLVED] How can I tell if I flashed my 5600 xt?

[shanyin37]

Hi. According to everyone my Sapphire Pulse 5600 XT was available to be Vbios flashed. I think that's what it's called. I think I did it but I'm seeing my frame rates going all over the place up and down and under performing in some games.

Before I flashed it Radeon software said that my Boost Clock was at 1750 now it says the same thing.

Is there any concrete way to tell if I successfully did the update?

use gpuz to check the bios version

what the full system spec? include make and model of the psu
cpu/gpu temp and usage during the game?
ram/ssd/hdd usage during the game?

017.001.000.049.000000 is the BIOS version

Asrock B450M Pro 4 Micro ATX motherboard
Ryzen 5 2600X CPU
Sapphire Pulse 5600 XT 6GB
16 GB 3200 G.Skill Ripjaws RAM
1TB QVO Samsung SSD
2TB HDD 7200 RPM
EVGA 600 BR Power Supply

I will get back to you on the temp and usages.

....

That's the EXACT same version GPUz reports for my 5700XT. Incredible...no?

I think that's the base BIOS version of all Navi BIOS'. At least in so far as I can tell.

I think the only reliable way is to do a 'save BIOS' (in GPUz, press the little arrow that's beside the BIOS Version line) from the card to a file, then do a binary compare of the saved BIOS to the BIOS file you used to update with. In a Command prompt, type 'FC /?' and it will tell you how to compare two files.

Can I flash it again? Would there be a problem if it is done twice?
