So, I have used the BIOS provided and I verified in GPU-Z that the memory is DDR5 (SAMSUNG) on all cards. Bad news. Somehow it is STILL hashing only at 17MH/s now! Even if I restore to original BIOS which was actually exported from ATI Flash and not GPU-Z. Now, what doesn't make sense is how come it does not return to the original hash rate even though I flashed to the original BIOS. Additionally, I did update to EthOS 1.2.2 from 1.2.1 and everything went smooth. Does modifying BIOS in Windows also require special configuration in EthOS (I assume so and I do have global mem set to 1250 and just set globalcore to 2000).
I am completely lost as to what is going on. I do have 3 more identical cards sealed in the box which I am going to open, benchmark to check if they get to 24MH/s and extract the BIOS to hopefully restore to 24 and not lose money by being down.
All help is much appreciated if you can solve this for me, I would love to send you a donation.
