Compatibility & service notes
Reference 8 GB RX 580 has 2304 stream processors; not RX 580 2048SP or RX 570.
Read GPU ID and memory size, then inspect PCB label: modified mining BIOS is common. Restore only a verified matching BIOS; inspect fans and VRM/memory cooling before load.
- Check slot signaling, keying, lane width, auxiliary power, clearance, and PSU requirements; physical insertion alone does not prove compatibility.
- Use drivers supporting this device ID and OS release. Preserve original driver/firmware before updates and record source.
- Do not energize cards with cracks, corrosion, damaged power sockets, obstructed fans, or suspected shorts; inspect before bench testing.
