So right now i have a xfx 8gb rx 570 but i just bought the red devil 5600xt and it should be here in a few days. Is there anything i have to do to get the right drivers and for it to run properly or is it just plug n play?

Same with my ram i just bought some faster ram to.

Download DDU (Display driver uninstaller)

Click remove & shutdown (or similar) to remove the RX570 drivers

then install the 5600XT

then install 5600XT drivers.

Your computer might take a while to turn on after you change the ram

 

you will have to go into the bios to enable the higher speeds (xmp/docp)

What are you PC specs? Just wondering if the RAM upgrade is actually a worthwhile investment. Depending on your setup, it may have been more worth while to spend the money you did on the RAM on a faster video card. Just trying to make the most of the money you have to spend :)
