Would AMD have been in the right to force a bios downgrade in the next driver release? Also that LTT and a related Gamers Nexus video convinced me to buy an obviously counterfeit "Nvidia GTX 970" from ebay, report the seller for the sale, I got to keep it, I got refunded, and then with the money I bought a bios writer and flashed the card back to a "Nvidia GTX 550 Ti".

My ASUS Zephyrus received a BIOS update from ASUS that downgraded the video card memory overclocking ability and mining hash rate of the 3070.

So you defrauded someone and are proud of it? That they were themselves a fraudster does not make your actions right and you SHOULD return the card.

  They defrauded me! I didn't know I was buying a Nvidia GTX 550 Ti 1GB with only 1 of 3 working outputs. The bios they flashed even caused crashes because it reported the card had 2 GB of VRAM which the OS would actually try to use.
