Every Radeon 5700 owner NEEDS to do this!

BIOS flashing to unlock performance is nothing new... in fact it was part of the 5600XT launch proving that brands do artificially limit performance to make sure they don't get too close to more expensive video cards... So today I show you just how much FREE performance you can gain!

Not sure if I reiterated this enough in this video.. but if you decide to flash your BIOS... MAKE SURE ITS FROM THE SAME BRAND/PCB type... for instance.. if you have an OEM/Reference card then make sure its also an OEM 5700XT... if its a 5700 Red Devil, make sure its a 5700XT Red Devil etc... THIS MATTERS as doing another style card COULD brick your video card. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

One thing I really enjoy about Jay's videos is the real time feel of them. Instead of just showing some charts, specific instructions, and whatnot... he's like... hey let's see if this works, watch our trials and tribulations as we slip into madness. XD

Saw this and went and flashed mine the same way and then did some tiny overclocking. Went from 4449 to 4902 after flash to 5091 after oc. That’s a 14% score increase! Thanks Jay!

Instead of plug and play, its plug and pray.

Calling my new 5700 a "low end card" in the first 40 seconds kinda hurt me..

Dad : Are ya winning son?
Son : No dad. I'm having trouble getting the updated drivers, flashing the bios. Under volting the card. May even need to reinstall windows onto a clean drive.
I am not winning dad. I'm tired.

Dad : Haha okay son. Dinners ready in half an hour.

"lower end graphics card"

Why am i even watching this.
I got an exam tomorrow and already flashed my 5700 months ago.

9:37 I had an AMD Phenom ii x2 555 BE back in the day that I was able to unlock a 3rd stable core on and OC. Those were crazy times.

Flashing a R9 290 into a R9 290X was also "common" a thing.

Heh, I did a lot of pencil mods on ATI 9500 to make them 9700pros. The "shaved" parts could be reenabled by using a soft graphite pencil to short a couple pins on the PCB then, you you flashed the 9700pro bios and you had a fully functional card that cost twice as much. That was back when ATI was spanking nVidia hard, and there was a massive shortage of 9700pros. Such an amazing card...
Then, to quadruple the sale price, you'd flash a Mac ROM, so it could be used in G4 power Macs. ATI even provided all the unlocked flashing tools and a really nice set of drivers for macos and OS X. We were poor students with the most expensive GPUs and computers. Cross flashing cards basically paid for my masters. Anybody here remember strangedogs forum?

[Shane-Singleton]

This brings back some memories. I've still got my old Sapphire Radeon 9700 Pro that I flashed way back in the day. Man I need to dig that old machine out.

[screwb]

Flashed my reference Vega 56 with a Vega 64 bios then undervolted it/OC'd the mem. It is now as fast as a stock Vega 64 Nitro

[jlohry]

Watched whole like I need a refresher on just about everything that was said here lol

[blze]

This reminds me of something I did in. Buying a laptop and naturally wanted a gaming computer, but parents wouldn't let me get one for obvious reasons. So I picked a Thinkpad T61p with the Quadro FX570M. Talked about how it's not a gaming card, but would be great for CAD drawings and such.


Then when I got to campus, I replaced the FX570M drivers with 8600M GT ones. Big Brain moment.

[MarkoHR]

5700: Flash the same brand
Vega 56: Oh you have a Red Dragon Vega 56? Here, flash this Sapphire Nitro+

No, Jay. The 5500 series uses a different die design to the 5700 and 5600 series.

"not the drug community" portion needs to land on a best of video. LOL
