Strix RX470 4gb Bricked?

[Programz]

My buddy did a bios flash and since then the card isn't being picked up by anything. Device manager, ati, etc. Does anyone know a trick so I can make the card visable again to flash the bios back to normal? It's really putting a damper on my mining. Thanks!

If your gpu has integrated graphics you can just use those to boot and try to go from there. If not you can always reset the cmos and hope that fixes it.

First check that there is a switch somewhere where you can change to the backup bios. Most modern GPUs have dual bios like motherboards. If so, flip it and try. If there is no such switch, try plugging it on a system with onboard graphics. Put the video cable on the motherboard so you boot using the onboard gpu. Then check to the device manager if the system recognize the gpu. If so, use the utility you tried to update the bios to restore its original. Thats what I did back in the days with a 7970.

You mean if his motherboard has iGPU not his GPU.

Absolutely. Thanks for saving me from looking dumb.

Don't flash modded bios files unless you know what you're doing .

Works on the 470 too .

I've tried a lot of different things and still haven't had any luck. Tried wiping with DDU, and re-installing bios but got nothing. It's recognizing in device manager as a RX470 but I can't get a display to come out of it or anything. Lights are on, fan is on, etc, but still no display.
