I've just updated BIOS to F21 (z170x designare), now I have problem with graphics artefacts (internal 530 as well as GTX 980) in latest Sierra.Don't update to F20 if you have similar setup

No, but after problems with F21 I've used F20 — same result.Did you update to F20 first?
This fixes problem with my GTX 980 (gigabyte oc edition).after installing EmuVariableUefi-64.efi all work well
I was trying do the same way but, '1024mb' instead 'max': doesn't work.changing DVMT Pre-Allocated to '64M', and DVMT Total Gfx Mem to 'MAX'
F20 announcement: "This BIOS prohibits updating to earlier version BIOS". So, if you already updated BIOS to F20/F21 you can't go back.Going to try the F3a bios when I get home

I was able to downgrade back to a BIOS version previous to F20.
I use the FTP Z170 Tool for DOS from https://www.mediafire.com/?p66jhts7cfi26y8
Then I...
1. Formatted a USB drive to DOS bootable with Rufus
2. Copied the contents of the zip above into the root of the USB drive overwriting the AUTOEXEC.bat
3. Downloaded the the BIOS I wanted to downgrade to from Gigabyte.us site
4. Move the BIOS binary to the root of the USB and rename it "bios.bin"
5. Boot the machine from the USB drive and it will automatically overwrite the BIOS to the desired version.
6. Ctrl-Alt-Delete once it says it's done
** Be sure to copy down the MAC address of your Intel NIC as it will be overwritten and you'll have to change it back once you're back up and running.
I've started with hackintosh less than six months EmuVariableUefi-64.efi works in my case.I thought that was the standard practice
You have no reason to replace the board: some people in this thread haven't problems after upgrade, others successfully fix it.a different board to start with
Tried every BIOS, only F2 worked flawlessly. Just going to have to live with the ghost partitions.
In hindsight, I would've just gotten a different board to start with. Maybe I will in a few months.
