[SOLVED] MSI RX 580 8G Miner Edition Display port.

[agulto]

I just bought a second hand MSI RX 580 8G thinking it was and OC edition but turned out to be miner edition and it had only DVI output port and I haven't tasted my card yet since i still have some parts left for my build But im sure the card works. So my first questions are

1: Can I use it for gaming and video editing(mostly)?
2: Can I put the extra ports taking it to professionals since there are slots for display port and Hdmi port and is identical to OC edition?
3: Should I flash the BIOS?

I would return that and get a normal RX 580, paying someone to add ports to that would be silly, would cost more than just buying a new card. If you still want to keep it for whatever reason, yes you may be able to flash a normal BIOS to it, but that is not guaranteed to work and could brick the card. All the more reason to get a standard video card not setup for mining.

Then you are stuck till you can install it in your system and test it.

Check Linus Tech Tips videos. He did one where he used a mining card as a game accelerator, but he had to route the output to the onboard video out somehow. I forget how he did it, but it worked.
