This should really help it against the 1050. Since it gets owned by it 90% of the time. I'd only do this if your card has a 6pin. Not the reference model with no extra power

It only works on Strix and another card atm. High end ones, basically.

Yeah I know. Just said in case they make one for more cards. Don't want anyone to brick a GPU.
I'd really like to see someone benchmark the difference though. 2 more CUs makes a pretty big difference

It's probably unstable tbh. That might be why no others have been done yet.

I mean if you flash the card and it's then unstable you are screwed unless you can get it stable.

True, it's been this way since the Athlon and Phenom days even on the earlier HD4000 series GPUs when certain chips had some cores disabled. It's just AMDs way of binning, they usually kill unstable cores at a hardware level though I wonder why they decided to do this at bios level this time around.

I have a Gigabyte RX460 OC 4gb - I wonder if its BIOS could be modded also?

Der8auer only done the strix and Sapphire Nitro 460 cards. I would NOT try it unless you really know what you are doing when you flash a bios on a graphics card.

You could potentially kill your card.

I've flashed BIOS' 100's of times, never managed to brick one yet. I'm not a BIOS modder however, so wouldn't attempt to mod the BIOS to unlock the cores myself. Will be interesting to see if more modded BIOS' appear
