Drivers for the new amd rx 500 series on Windows 8/8.1

[Ricardo_frisk]

Anyone knows why there's no drivers in the amd website for the windows 8.1 ?
Will they release them later on ?

The thing is, i ordered the new rx 580 but i have windows 8.1 as my OS ...

sounds like a website error. i would try downloading the drivers under the windows 10 section to see if they will install. drivers like these are usually universal

Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 driver base is very similar. Windows 7 drivers may work for you. Windows 10 drivers may also work for you.

In case of catastrophe upon install and no display output, does your motherboard have onboard video?

Can you describe the behavior that makes you think it's not working properly?

I made an account only for this. Run the Windows 7 driver in compatibility mode. Sadly they are not cross compatible drivers like people are saying. Even though I think AMD did intend for that.

Im running server 2012 with the rx 580 card. Im having the same problem everyone else is having - no windows 8 driver. Will this workaround work on server 2012?

I can't say for sure without testing it myself. But from what I understand about Server 2012. It should be the same Kernel between S-2012 and Win 8. Similar with S-2012/R2 and Win 8.1. Just without the Desktop Experience enabled right away. I'm guessing you are trying to configure it for a general purpose desktop? One thing to keep in mind. Windows Server is only 64-bit so it would only accept signed 64-bit drivers. While you can make a Windows Server into a desktop O/S. It really isn't intended for that purpose. You likely will have software that refuses to install. Compatability mode should be the solution. Or possibly finding a driver .inf instead of the AMD .exe. Here is a page I hope will help.
