hello there!
Yesterday i bought Gigabyte Radeon™ RX 580 Gaming 8G MI Graphics card. after buying that, one of my friend confirmed it is a mining card not for gaming. So I'm bit worried about what is the big difference between a Gaming and mining card! Does it really big enough and impact my experience? Can i use it as gaming card? Any help would be appreciated. Btw, I'm confused with my gpus memory clock. it says it is 8000mhz in online but it actually shows 2000mhz in my gpu specs. Thank you!! <3 <3

says 8000mhz in official site : View: https://imgur.com/g9BibZb

It will be of concern, only, if you purchased a used mining GPU.

and the userbenchmark couldn't specify my rx 580 model. can this gpu be counterfeit? how can i test/check the gpu more to be sure?
