Hey all,

So I just picked up an RX460 for my HTPC, wanted it for its connectivity (HDMI 2.0b, DP 1.4, HDR etc...) to hook up to my 4K TV and stream Steam games from my gaming rig. But thinking of it, I wonder if its possible to unlock these little chips to the full Polaris 11 chip from 14 CU's to 16 CU's? I know in the past ive had good luck flashing bios to do such things, what do you guys think? I know its a tiny chip, but always fun to overclock/mod them to perform better!
 
Impossible, the chip is physically different from polaris 10. Edit: oh, I guess I probably misunderstood. Lemme research a bit.

There is not currently any solution to unlock the remaining 2 CUs on Polaris 11 chips, nor is there a Polaris 11 model that uses more than 14 CUs. I'm not even sure if AMD has confirmed Polaris 10 has 2 disabled CUs on an RX 460.
 
Yeah, there was a slide a while back that said it has 16 CU's in Polaris 11. I bet we will see full Polaris 11 in laptops and Apple computers.
 
We need someone with experience in Bios Editing of AMD cards...just knowing they are there makes me wanna use em, id even undervolt to stay in the power envelope, apparently they undervolt quite well! I want my 16 CU's damnit!

Yeah im thinking itll be used for the Macbook as well
