My memory is a 580 is a 480 in a new dress.  The new AMD drivers don’t like 8.1 at all.  The old ones did though.  Same goes for Nvidia.  If you bump your os to 10 the 580 will likely work again, but who knows what else will break?

For an AMD card?  No.  The card makers get kinda hardcore about that one.  Nvidia won’t even release source code to OEMs. Binaries only.
