Yes, it's the only port available to use.
Ok so you get the screenshots using that port on the mining gpu then. Good to know because some mining cards have no functioning ports
Are there any white/black stickers/barcodes on the gpu? If there are Id like to see the specific gpu you are dealing with
I just received a used MSI RX 470 4gb GDDR5 Mining Edition DVI-D single display port graphics card and am trying to flash the vbios and turn it into a usable budget gaming card for my nephew. Has anyone come across this problem while flashing an RX 470 Mining card or a mining card in general? Upon boot up I started up GPU-Z and found that both Windows and GPU-Z do not detect the card but labels it as a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.

Shortly after this I supposedly "successfully as stated by the ATIFlash utility" flashed it to a gaming bios as per the link
VGA Bios Collection: MSI RX 470 4 GB | TechPowerUp and directed by the seller, using ATIFlash 2.9.3 I still came up with the same problem as before: no detection of the device and the video card being labeled as an ATI Radeon Polaris 10 in the ATIflash utility.

As of right now I'm going to try to install the latest drivers and see if that affects anything. I'll be updating this post with every troubleshoot I attempt.
Edit: After updating drivers
View attachment 271410
So far I've:
- Switched PCI-E ports with a functional graphics card, all are functional.
- Updated the drivers to latest release of Radeon Adrenaline 21.5
- Uninstalled the drivers again and installed Radeon Adrenaline 19.9.1
- Uninstalled all graphics drivers through DDU, No change beyond reverting back to Standard VGA Graphics on GPU-Z
- Flash bios through a boot drive, No change
- Installed multiple other unverified BIOS of the same version and model, unable to flash vbios of other cards models of the same memory type (SSIDs Mismatch), no change
- Ran the atikmdag pixel clock patcher to patch memory clocks, only detects low resolution limit and can patch, nothing else though.

That bios flash has wrong ram contained in it
Wait a sec is the heatsink an armor?

The bios you flashed had the right memory but eh it doesnt work all the time.
You can try this : (yes you can try the 570 too.)

Samsung K4G41325FE
This memory is available with 4Gbps and with 8Gbps:

K4G41325FE-HC28 4Gb 128M x 32 7.0 Gbps 16K / 32 ms 170FBGA Mass Production
Some more to try, the vbios doesnt show the exact memory type so i think you can only try and see if it works unless someone here knows exactly what vbios has that type of memory.

I suggest you shut down and reseat that gpu in a pcie 16x slot (top slot), not on a riser cable.
Download atiflash/amdvbflash 2.93
Go here
https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/
Then look for Version 4.68, underneath 4.68 you will see a link to show older version, click that and you should see version 2.93
Then
Follow these steps carefully:
1. Open your "C:" drive in Windows, create a new folder, call it atiflash.
2. Extract the contents of atiflash_293.zip to the "C:\atiflash" folder
3. Find the bios file you downloaded and rename the bios file to biosname.rom
(Biosname.rom is just an example, change it to match your card model in 5 characters with .rom on end)
4. Move biosname.rom to the "C:\atiflash" folder
5. Open the start menu, type cmd, when cmd.exe appears right click it and hit "Run as administrator"
6. At the command prompt type in cd\ and press enter until only C:\> is on the screen.
7. Type in cd/atiflash and press enter, you should see C:\atiflash>
8. At the C:\atiflash> prompt type in
amdvbflash.exe -unlockrom 0
(there is a space between the e and -unlockrom and 0)(0 is the number zero)
press enter and you will be prompted that the "ROM Unlocked"
9. At the C:\atiflash> prompt type in
amdvbflash.exe -f -p 0 biosname.rom
(there is a space between the .exe and -f, and a space between -f and -p and 0)press enter.
Follow directions on screen and if flash is successful exit the command prompt and restart, windows should show up on screen.
@Tycoh
If it still doesnt work return that card as defective(do not mention anything about bios flashing it) and Find a brand new unopened RX 6400 or RX6500
