Hi,

Just a quick question. My previous AMD cards I could bios flash the card to its bigger brother spec which usually unlocked more power ceiling and clocks.

Eg Vega 56 to 64 bios & 5700 to 5700xt bios...

Is it possible soon you can bios flash the 6600 to an 6600xt bios to unlock more power?

My results with my old Vega 56 and 5700 when bios flashed was brilliant gains I'm hoping I can do this with my new 6600

Thanks
 
they are using the same chip. will they enable it later? it depends on what they already did to the chip. for example if the extra shaders are being disabled permanently/physically then BIOS flash can't do anything. many modder will look into this kind of thing when AMD releasing cut down version of their GPU. because in the past AMD usually allow the card to be "unlock" using different BIOS. but the fact we did not hear about it maybe because some modder already look into it and it is not possible.
