Hi,

I have a "MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming 4GB":
https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/support/R9-290-GAMING-4G

My card has UEFI BIOS and I need Legacy BIOS (OEM mainboard that doesn't support UEFI graphics cards even with latest BIOS update). Which is the easiest way to flash this card to Legacy BIOS? I know I can find all the BIOS files on techpowerup, and I've found a tool called "HawaiiBiosReader", but it seems like I can only edit the BIOS with that tool, how do I flash it? I've previously used a tool called ATIFlash before when overclocking HD 7950 cards, and thats worked perfectly fine every time. Will it work just as well to flash a Legacy BIOS to my R9 290 with this tool?

DoI need to think about anything else, or can I simply just downlaod the BIOS I need, edit it with HawaiiBiosReader and flash it with ATIFlash?
