Here it is guys, as promised! Just finished to test Sapphire RX 470 8GB Mining Edition Hynix Memory, great performance just like the one with Samsung memory. In this benchmark i included LBRY and Pascalcoin and PascalLite for dual mining, i kinda avoided them lately but someone asked for them.
Firstly the GPU was tested remotely but later i got one from a friend, again power consumption will not be that accurate because i “LOST” the energy meter :/, we will compare it with the previous one.
Apparently the RX 470 8GB Mining Edition with Hynix memory is less problematic, so this time i wont have a “problems and fixes” section.

The BIOS
I discussed and explained how to use the QUAD UEFI BIOS switch jumpers in my previous tutorial for mining editon gpus, another thing you can find is a quick guide about to make the rig work without the GPU display adapter.
Flashing the BIOS
1 Back Up the BIOSBefore flashing the new BIOS, I recommend you to back up the original one first.
- If you don’t know how to do it follow point 2 from my previous tutorial: click here
V1: https://mega.nz/#!MxhnUC6A!ONnxkj-JhIO7gcGVn0sx9UwPAKHXeCkCvsIGNVwkIJo
3 FlashingVERY IMPORTANT: Always extract ATIflash to C:/atiflash folder and place the ROM file that needs to be flashed in the same directory
If you need help, follow point 5 from my previous tutorial or check the following video: click here
