Question Should I install normal AMD drivers on a cheap RX580?

[Milo.]

Hey,

I just bought a cheap, offbrand 8GB RX580 like the one in the photo from the link below. Are the standard AMD drivers compatible with these Chinese brand GPUs?

i would recommend always only using the developer's(AMD, Nvidia, etc) drivers.
not those provided by any 3rd party manufacturer/distributor.

Hum-m-m. I don't have a clue. Usually AMD is AMD. What's your hardware? PSU, CPU, ram, motherboard, etc.. Read the box. if it matches what the original specs are of a AMD RX580 pcie 3, it should be good to go unless your machine isn't made for it (to fit a pice 3 slot). Research the mfg if it really a legit company.
Hope this helps.

You link shows a 9 or maybe 10 series Nvidia card.
So AMD drivers would not work for it.
But if your card is a RX 580 AMD drivers from their site will work just fine.
Almost all video cards are made in china.

Of course they're compatible. Radeon GPUs are born in Canada, not China. They're the same Radeon GPUs sold all over the world. I have a Chinese RX 580 2048SP and it uses the same driver package as my RX 7900 XTX.

doesn't matter who makes rebrands the card.
even with custom PCB rather than reference (which I doubt these cheap cards have) the GPU and tech itself is not manufactured by these off brand companies.
All these off brand companies do is take a cheap reference card, slap their own cooling on it, and sell it.
They don't actually make anything.
Drivers for the GPU will come from the manufacturer of the actual silicon which is AMD.

Hey, just wanted to add to this thread in case anyone needs it.

Despite not being listed on the website, these cards still use standard drivers. I just use the detect and install app that can be found on the AMD driver page.
