The Card is XFX HD 6570, and I accidentally brick the card while back, and now I while I was cleaning, I found my XFX bricked card, I was thinking is it possible to unbricked this, and I tried to plug it in to my second PCI-E Slot, and log-in to my computer. I use ATI winflash, which that will supposedly flash AMD/ATI cards or forced to be flash, My computer has NVIDIA for the primary, no on board GPU or IGPU. The problem that I'm having is that ATI winflash will not detect my bricked AMD card (XFX), it says "Cannot Find Discrete ATI Video Card, which I'm sure that I plug it in to the second PCI-E slot, another thing is that I need to find the slot number for ex. My NVIDIA GPU is on slot 0, and I don't know the number for the AMD one. so any tips on how to force flash the bricked GPU AMD? let me know, thank you!

I don't have any AMD spare cards, except the one that is bricked, it's really no bigy, it's an old card which it's obsolete already, but still Thank you.
 
You can have a nvidia and amd together - just not as crossfire or sli, but they're fine as 2 independent cards together. Just like using onboard (intel hd), and an amd card.

If you bricked it (like flashed a bad bios on the card), then baking won't help, or I would have suggested it.
 
If you are using Ati winflash, what version of the program matters.

Some versions will fail to detect a Ati card in the second Pci-e slot of the motherboard.
Make sure you have the latest version of Ati winflash.

Or instead of using that. use a dos command prompt version of Ati flash.
You will have more luck in the ati card being detected, and doing a bios re flashof the HD 6570 card.

Create or download a boot able dos Cd or Dvd iso image, add ati flash to the contents of the Iso image and also the correct bios firmware for the graphics card.

Making sure the bios file is placed on the root, or in the Ati flash folder created.
Use power Iso to add files to the Iso image.
Then burn the disk.
Boot from it to a dos window, using the command prompt.
And the command structure of Ati flash once run to load the bios firmware and flash the HD 6570 card.

That is if you know how to use dos Kairukun.

Some commands like listing what's on what PCI-E slot or the slot number to flash the GPU would be helpful, I have the proper rom to flash it with, yes I do have knowledge on how to use command prompt, I just don't have knowledge and know if the card is dead, I know it's not, because it's detected by my computer as Generic Video Adapter on Device Manager, but it won't install drivers automatically. any ideas?
