Hey guys,

Just ordered a new RX 580 and is for delivery tomorrow. My question is, I have seen the drivers for the RX 480 and RX 580 are the same..

Should it be a case of swapping over the GPU's and should boot without issue?


Cheers.
 
It should be fine (as the 480 and 580 are the same chip), and I'm 95% sure it'll work absolutely fine after a reboot with the new card in.

However, I personally would still uninstall and install the latest drivers just to be on the safe side - it's possible the installer left something uninstalled that the 480 didn't need that the 580 does, so for the sake of 5 minutes I'd rather be 100% sure it's all working fully. But I'm probably over cautious!
 
Installed the new card that came this morning. Was a pig to get going. But when I did it, it didn't take to the drivers, so done a DDU and a fresh install, now working fine.
