Hi everybody,  TIP OF THE DAY!! (CAUTION!!! FLASHING ANY BIOS IS ALWAYS RISKY AND THE OUT COME COULD BE NOT SO GOOD FOR YOU) So today I was in the process of flashing   ASUS ROG STRIX-RX480-8G-GAMING, to a ASUS ROG STRIX-RX580-8G-GAMING Graphics Card, first I went to a link to download the flashing software -->  https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/   next I had to go find the bios file  --> https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=Uploads&manufacturer=&model=RX+580&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since= you will have to search for your bios file, (VERY IMPORTANT STEP ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR BIOS, IF ANY THING GOES WRONG YOU CAN RESTORE YOUR OLD BIOS HOPEFULLY).

Here is another really important step when you go to flash your Bios put your video card in another slot and put a second video card in the main slot and boot to the the video card you are not going to flash,  or if you have video card built in the motherboard go to your bios on the motherboard and activate your built in video card, plug you video cord into the plug on the back of your computer, so now when you flash your video card you can still have a computer to re-flash your video card back to manufacture bios, what I am saying is yes you can have 2 video cards and 2 monitors running on one computer, by taking these steps you will save yourself a huge amount of grief if things go wrong and you Brick your video card.
