I just bought a r5 230 because I have 2 monitors and 1 of then has only VGA port, my problem was that I have an R9 390 and it hasn't got analog signal (dvi to VGA) so I picked un the 230.
When I updated the drivers to 16.3 the 230 stopped working and was detected as the hd 6450
I tried to flash the bios but i couldnt find any for my exact gpu(asus r5 230 LP 1GB ddr3)
I know that amd does not support below the 6000 series at the time so I just want it to being detected as a 230

Sorry for bad english 🙁
