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!

"You can easily brick your GPU with this." *EVERY RADEON 5700 NEEDS TO DO THIS*

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

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

Instead of plug and play, its plug and pray.

"lower end graphics card" *looks at 5700* *looks at jay* *confused pikachu face*

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

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.

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.

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!

"you NEED TO DO THIS" "do this at your own risk"

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.

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?

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

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

When your using wattman, try hitting save profile and then loading it instead of just hitting apply.

At first I was dissapointed that my pc had this variant of the card, but now I kind of got attached to it. The build is so aesthetic and it actually has a cool cooling design.

8:35 No, Jay. The 5500 series uses a different die design to the 5700 and 5600 series.

I enjoyed that video as it was a real life scenario and experience, with some funnies thrown in too, raw! I'd like to see more of these short raw videos.

I remember way back when I flashed my 6800GTS to an Ultra. I miss those times.

6:57 I'm not even paying attention to what Jay's doing, I'm just looking at all his desktop icons. :P

Very cool this remind me of when I started out messing around with PCs, thank you.

I did the exact same as you....I now have an expensive doorstop....great jay thanks for that

Geez Jay, here I was thinking you'd found a way to force crossfire lol

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.

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

liked purely for the explination of how binning works, because that confuses so many people. It's good to see.

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

I like to run 5700 reference at stock because the fan is quiet. Once you go XT Bios you also make the card louder.

I got the XFX 5700 a few months ago. I flashed the bios to the XT version, and got about 2.5% increase, but my temps shot up a ton, so I flashed it back.

sir, your channel is really helpful. thank you for uploading such content.

I’m surprised you didn’t know and/or mention that having both Nvidia and AMD drivers installed causes unusual problems.

Flashing a Radeon 5700 to a Radeon Pro w5700 would be really exciting for CAD and 3D artists.

Really, really cool buyers tip at the end!

BIOS flashing was very informative and spl. the part about purchasing a used GPU..very well done..keep it up !

Great, I was finally convincing myself to go to bed since it's 3 am here and then a Jay's video popped up LOL I guess these 15 minutes won't make a great difference in my sleep schedule so here we go :D

"Find the link yourself" Jayz 2020

Wow, green monochrome screen, that brings back memories. It was an amazing upgrade over the monochrome orange screen that came with my sister's IBM PC (as in the model "PC") - much lkess eye strain with the softer colors.

Really good learning all the way

PSA: do NOT use the latest drivers on 5700xt. Use the latest Adenaline 2019 instead of 2020, more stuff works than doesn't on that version.

instructions unclear: flashed my rx 5700 xt with rtx 2080 ti bios. didn't work. :( also 8:36 RX 5500: I could have been a contender!

its amazing how good the 1080ti is still, get 6350 score on same but full extreme 1080p high details instead of low as well

Gainward gave me bios and bios flash tools when I got my 1070 in 2016, it has a dual bios switch so easily recoverable if you screw it up and the manufacturer officially supported you flashing higher tier bios onto the card.

It's easier to fix power tables, and you'll get even more abilities without changing the bios

My brother ran his 6950 flashed to 6970 for years... It's such an amd thing :p

You should've talked about SPPT also as an option that is done through the registry and has a lower chance of messing something up with the card as you're not messing with the card BIOS itself.

This is the first time I hear about flashing BIOS and Jay is making a lot of sense on it

undervolting is more important, mine waas way too hot at stock.

Just use power play mod of igorslab for a less risky operation. Running 2100mhz with my rx 5700.

This works with a lot of older AMD cards too. My strix Vega 56 has a strix v64 bios on it, and because of the core efficiency issues on the v64, it actually performs the same as a v64.

Nice shirt Jay! Hope to see your videos on floatplane soon!

big mic buzz going on , like when my guitar is not plugged in all the way

This happened around 2008/2009 when AMD acquired ATI, around the time of the Radeon HD 6000 series. The 2GB version of the 6950 could easily be turned into 6970s with a BIOS flash, and AMD fully supported it :)

You could actually use morepowertool instead of flashing bios especially if your cards dont have dual bios. Morepowertool does just the same thing without the risk of bricking the card.

I did that, then did some undervolt (1150mv), downed the clock a little bit to 1930mhz and agressivly change fan profile. I got steady performance and max temperature of 65oC. Mine is reference design

The real game for me is overclocking. I loved Polaris overclocking and bios editing. AMD baby!

Whenever I watch a Jay2Cents I am like why is my dad explaining computer stuff to me lol. He makes the same comments my dad does with random stuff..."I used to flash bioses now I am doing it again". Lol

Jay, when are you on Floatplane? Or are you even thinking about it? Thanks!

It's very interesting, but what about thermals ? Also would like to see bios flash vs manual overclock because I think that's what's all about.

11:17 when you hack the matrix

This makes me remember the time I when I was able to flash my radeon 6950 to a 6970. It actually worked flawlesly and I even sold it later as a 6970, so a win win.

I'd love to see more stuff like this

i love watching your videos, awesome info!

Dang. I was thinking about going 1660 in light of these recent developments as my 960 is great but upgrades yadda yadda socket am3+ board etc etc but now I'm genuinely considering the 5700 if the price is right.

12:30 love it.

Jay, this is why I watch you. You and GN are the only reviewers showing QUALITATIVE data, or the day to day experience of using the product. Everyone else only shows nonsense like "price to performance," which won't matter literally one second after you boot up your first game. How do you factor broken drivers into price to performance?

Would you do a video on the power tables mod? I'm not thinking about doing it myself just very curious on your take.

Privacy.com is the first KZfaq ad I've actually considered using. Can anyone vouch for it?

0:40 Me pressing the 5s skip button 12 times.

I’m the worst computer diy’er around. But I was able to do this and it works great! Thanks for showing me how to do this.

Also don't forget that for binning heat can be important. If your cooling solution is better than a dell/hp hot box it is likely to work in your computer and not one of those.

As a 5700XT user, I can confirm the driver issues. My 1070 worked way better.

Bought an AMD card for the first time since they were... ATI, a 5700XT! HYPE! Well, simply, sadly. No. Just no. I can't quite believe how bad the drivers are, or at least the constant troubles I'm having with it. I'd heard of 'bad AMD' GPU drivers but assumed it was just fanboy smacktalk. Oooh boy! Sadly it's too late to return the bloody thing now as well. Monitor is constantly going into power saving mode or just games crashing. It's actually quite impressive at how shoddy a product it really is. Anyway, rant over. Team green all the way [for the next build :( ] (Super happy with my 3700X though!) EDIT: 13/10/2020 After a few driver updates over the summer months the 5700XT runs brilliantly. No more problems and great performance, with hindsight happy with the purchase and glad AMD turned things around.

Recently sold some cards and what I do is take a video starting with the card in the tower, then pan over to desktop with the time/date up, then pan over to GPU-Z and then start Furmark.

crazy good temps my 5700 xt was 90-100c constantly.

2:05 am here. still awake lmao thinking I'll go to sleep now. Then jay uploads. No.

the code line would be "amdvbflash -f -p 0 Bios.rom" no .exe or .win needed..

I flashed my evga 2080ti ftw3 hybrid with a KingPin hybrid bios and it works pretty good. It's in a custom loop so it never gets hot anyway.

You should use the tab button for autocomplete in cmd. First it will autofill the executable then it will auto cycle through filenames. Just a tip to make life easier

"Low end card" Me, with my rx 570 : 😶

Me watching this as my 5700 showed up in the mail today lol

So if you can flash a non xt card to xt level, what point is there to buying the xt???? Have they released a similar utility to upgrade the xt version as well?

Jay - how does this performance compare to running similar overclocks on the stock bios?

Since when is this a "low-end card"?

4:30 that was me half a year ago 😂 replaced it with a RTX 2060

My athlon x3 wasn't stable as an x4, still, was fun trying to get it to run

Some years ago, I had a task that involved reviewing code that was on one of the graphics cards (I don't remember which one). They literally had curse words in the comments referring to how bad their code was.

5500XT is a different die all together but they do use the same chip for 5600XT - 5700XT :-)

Could have used this a week ago when I was buying new pc parts

command line only works if you make a DOS bootable UBS with rufus for example

Would love to see you guys try to flash an RTX non-super to super bios

AMD's drivers are a giant mess right now.

Why buy a used 5700 xt if it could be a scam when you can just buy a 5700 for cheaper and flash it. 😎

I was wondering if the BIOS really made the difference or overclocking the card made the difference? I don't know if it's possible but could you do a test to see if a flash card and a stock card perform the same at the same overclocked stats?

Jay, I have one Powercolor Red Dragon 5700, can I flash a BIOS from the Powercolor Red Dragon 5700XT on the silent BIOS? So its like I have a 5700 and a 5700XT on the same card?

well, my 2060 scored 5176 on superposition without any bios flashing :)

I'm using AMD Cards since 16 years and my gf does too. Strange I (or we) never had problems, sometimes the problem sits infront of the pc...

you dont need the link below you need to toggle the catayst icon switch which brings up that program screen for amd

I dont know how i went 4 years of watching your videos I never SUBed. Your videos are so straight forward, as well break it down kindergarten style
