I got it omg Im so happy! Grin

I was able to get it by booting up on 1 gpu to setup teamviewer to auto-login at start
then I added the second card (bricked) and I lost visuals but it still booted (with a blank screen)
i then used teamviewer to navigate to the flashing utilty to flash the gpu that was under the name polaris
and voila now I have a working gpu Cheesy

p.s. anybody got a good modded bios I could use now? Grin

kidding not kidding
ps its a 480 4gb gaming x with samsung memory. hmu

Hmm neat trick. I'll have to save this. Glad you got it fixed

Dont try again flashing bios.

If he got dual bios, it is much easier.

I have read in past if you have two cards you can boot with the first one. And flash bios to the second. Need to use atiflash and run the device Id command. It should show the two cards. If so your in good shape. Reflash the old bios which I hope you backed up and cross your finger it fixes it. If you only have one card try to hook to onboard graphics and run same command. It should only show the card in pcie slot. Anyone else reading this correct me if I'm wrong. Never have bricked a card before. When you flash use the command atiflash -f -p 0 bios.rom or -p 1 depending on whether you have two pcie cards loaded. If you load card into first pcie slot next to cpu that should be p0. Second card with bad flash should be p 1. It's late and I'm heading to bed. I'll have more time to look into this tomorrow if that link above doesn't straighten ya out. Best of luck
