I flashed my Radeon x800xt to the x800 XT PE Bios (samsung 1.6ns, v3, from mvktech.net) and now only 1 GPU shows up in Device Manager, and I have two unkown devices, that under "Details" appear to reside on the x800.

Additionally, the card was detected as an "R480 GL 16P". I went adhead and downloaded the lastest Omega drivers (omegadrivers.net), and installed those, thinking that it was a driver problem, but that didnt fix anything. I went ahead and forced the XT PE driver to the card through the update driver option in Device Manager, and it seems to work, but i did get a warning that Windows couldn't verify if the driver was the correct one for my hardware.

Do I have a bad BIOS? or am i missing something?

sounds like u flashed the wrong bios on the card, hope you were smart enough to backup your original bios. U need go back to it.

I think i have a VIVO Bios, for my non-VIVO card. I'm reverting back to the original BIOS, and just editing it with a BIOS editor...
