Hi. I have just upgraded my gpu from a rx460 to an rx580 8gb. I tried installing drivers but see no difference in the fps at all. My gpu isnt showing up at all in task manager like the gpu percent. It is getting recognised tho in amd software. Another reason why I think its the drivers because when I go into dxdiag on run it doesnt show render. Please Help guys I need my pc back asap. Thanks

Some cards on eBay may have been used for mining cryptocurrency and will need a simple modification to be used for gaming.

Download this: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ This program will identify your GPU and can alert to issues.

Then, Press Win+X on your keyboard and click device manager. Then click on "display adapters". It should say "Radeon RX580 Series" If it says something else, there is an issue. If it says RX580, right-click on it and click on properties. It should say "this device is working properly" If there is an error code 43 there, there is an issue.

The VS550 shouldn't cause the 580 to not show up but is...

The VS550 shouldn't cause the 580 to not show up but is a rather low-end unit for an RX580.
