Hello,everyone.I have an
XFX RX 5600 XT Thick 2 pro.
I saw that a modded bios by the company that boosts the memory clock by 250mhz.
I have been doing some research and this is my graphics card:

My issue is that when typing this model name or SN on google there are no results.
The updates on the official websites show this only

The issue is probably that mine is a chinese model while they only consider usa gpu in the website.
How am I supposed to update the bios on mine? how do I find the appropriate file?

Additional info:
When I install the drivers it never detects it as XFX it detects it as

but hwinfo 64 detects correctly

Also the sticker clearly said 14gbps but here on the amd interface it show 12

I am not sure if this is normal but I hope this information can help.

try this

That's the problem it only brings me to the xfx website which I linked before it only has 2 models where mine is not part of it.
 
I honestly wouldn't even do this if you don't really need to. You can overclock the ram manually, which you should be doing before changing the vbios, so you can confirm that it will be stable. I don't recommend changing the vbios unless it's to fix a bug or remove a modded bios.

the mod is by the manufacturer itself to unlock what they were suppose to get the card was suppose to be 14 but some vendors ram the memory at 12.

But the OP doesn't know for sure if their model actually is what the sticker says. I would still manually OC to make sure the card can actually handle the specs of the vbios they intend to use, because you never know what some Chinese manufacture might have done to the card, if they did anything to it.

Its apparently an unmodified card.And yes it can handle the clock (tested only for 5 minutes on oc but yes)
