plug 1 480 into x16 slot, boot into w10 using igpu, check to see if the 480, or unidentified device/generic video adapter is in device manager

Tried this it knows there is a gpu ,but says it's a general vga gpu or somthing, the miner doesn't recognise it nor does windows or msi afterburner.

Does amd driver installer detect it? DDU all your drivers and run the installer, if it gives you an option to install the driver at all then it means it does, and proceed with reinstallation (can try a dif version as well--try 16.7)

if that doesnt work, run the amd installer once so it extracts driver files to the specified destination (generally program files/amd or program files(x86)/amd), then use device manager to manually search for drivers in the aforementioned directories (try both--just select the directory, it will automatically search it)

Hey cheers for the advice
Thank you so much!!
I don't really know what I did, I turned it on pressed lookup on gpu z and it actually started working! However now I tried to install a modded bios (copied 1750 mem timings to 2000)and basically it works and is identified as an rx 480 but it says "code 43 the device is not functioning correctly" in device manager or something along the lines of that, so I tried opening gpu-z it works and shows it is an rx 480, but doesn't display core and memory clocks, so I re-flashed the original bios.
Any help with flashing a new bios and get it recognised would be much appreciated!

are you using 17.1+ drivers now? because those won't work with modded bios.
besides that you might need to wait for windows to reinitiate the driver after rebooting since it will treat the modding the bios as a different card
if something doesn't work, first thing to try is DDU and reinstalling the driver to any version from 16.7 to 16.12

Tried this I was using 16.12.2 now i'm using 16.11 or something like that.
Cheers!
