Then I updated to the latest for Gigabyte RX 460 patched with your tool driver "Radeon-pro-software-21.q4-dec3" v. 30.0.14011.2006 dated 11/26/2021. However, GPU-Z still shows the same old Crimson driver was installed (see pic). Is it possible, AMD packed the old most stable driver for this card inside the latest driver?

No, the Pro driver is for Pro cards, so it didn't install the actual driver at all.

But when trying to update to this (original?) BIOS, @bios tool says "The BIOS is the same" despite I know the installed BIOS is modded. What should I change with Polaris Bios Editor to have it recognized as new? As a guru, could you suggest if the same card would equally accept 512MB or 256MB BIOS? The installed BIOS is exported by @bios as 512MB, but GPU-Z exports it as 256MB - why?

That just means your card has 512 kB of EEPROM for the firmware, so smaller files should work if the firmware is compatible with your card. @BIOS might only be checking the signature instead of the whole image. Try using VBFlash: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/
