I have a Gigabyte Vega 64 8GB OC card that I flashed with the Sapphire Vega 64 Nitro+ 64 bios and I can control it fine with a soft PP in Mac OS. And the fan is often at 0%. Temps at idle are around 53 C ...... I had flashed the card originally with the Sapphire bios is because I was able to mostly solve the fan issue (and random freezes in Mac OS) just be doing that.
@ital,
I agree with you that we don't yet know enough yet to put all Zero Fan cards in the same basket of not being able to use a SoftPowerPlayTable. Until we get more test info it's impossible to say. Thats why i asked for everyone to post their success (or not) here so we can build a table of which cards work and what settings they need.
I'll re-word the guide so its not a such 'blanket' statement.
If I understand your post correctly you where not able to use a SoftPowerPlayTable with your Gigabyte Vega 64 until you flashed the card with the Sapphire Nitro + VBIOS ?
I've read similar stories on other sites ... it's an interesting approach that seems to work ... however I don't think i could recommend the method in the guide incase something went wrong during the process which bricked the card. Any flashing process that uses non OEM firmware carries a certain risk factor.
Thanks for the info
Cheers
