RX 580 Problem

[KiritiaN]

I have Zotac RX 580 4gb which I bought online. My monitor is an acer G196HQL which has VGA on it. The GPU only had 1 HDMI and 3 Displayport so I bought an adapter from displayport to VGA. I got display on BIOS but it displays no signal when it goes to the OS. Can you guys help me out ?

I just found out that the problem occurs when I install the gpu driver. Is there any fix on this ?

The RX 580 is among the most popular mining cards of all time. It's very likely it was used for mining, and quite possible it was flashed to a custom BIOS, which would explain why installing the drivers breaks it.

Could be a trash adapter. DisplayPort is digital and VGA is analog so the adapter really plays a role. If you cheaped out on it it probably is the problem.

What card is it? RTX 580 is not a thing, and on a gtx580 there should be dvi-ports and one of those should be vga compatible.

It posts though, wouldn't work at all if it's the adapter. The card dies when he installs the drivers, which makes me think weird BIOS

I got this error in the AMD software

I think you read it wrong, the title says RX 580 which is an AMD Graphics card.

Seems to me that it's exactly an adapter problem. When you install the driver it locks up the GPU because it can't work with the monitor. The Windows default driver doesn't have such limitation. @Aereldor I think if it were a vbios issue I doubt that would be the error he's getting.

edit: If you have a TV with an HDMI input you can try running the card on it and see if you get the same issue.

I guess its some weird oem card as Zotac usually only sells nVidia gpu:s. Plus Im pretty sure there was a ninjaedit on first post.

I'm sorry, I did edit the post. I typed RTX instead of RX at first.

Maybe HDMI to VGA adaptor could work ?

Yes it is a Zotac RX580 OEM used cards that I think pulled out from mining.

@KiritiaN It's best if you get your hands on a display that the card can interface directly with first just to make sure it is an adapter problem. It's janky at best converting digital to analog signal. People that want to use CRT monitors either stick with older GPUs or get expensive ass adapters like the HD Fury that costs almost 300$. I know yours isn't a CRT but it still accepts analog only signal so you're bound to have problems with compatibility and latency.

I'm going to my mom's house to test it there since she has a TV that has HDMI. I will update after. Thanks by the way man

You should look into getting cheap 1080p monitor with digital input. They could be had for under 100 dollars nowadays.

That's under $100 for a brand new decent 1080p display, not just some generic junk monitor on Craigslist.

Hello guys, when I tried the TV HDMI, it did display so I bought a HDMI to VGA adapter and now it also displays to my acer G196HQL. Thank you guys for helping me out!
