So the only Armor cards I find that are white are a RX 570 8GB or a 4GB RX 580, but not 8GB RX 580. That second number you gave us is likely the serial # and doesn't give any more information. I am guessing the other information on the sticker with the serial number you shared say the RADEON RX 580 ARMOR 8G OC, which is likely wrong. If you feel comfortable doing it, could take the heatsink off the card and clean off the thermal paste, and share any information on the die, might be able to help us better identify the card. Likely a mining card that was flashed with the wrong bios when the person went to sell it, or someone tried flashing the wrong BIOS to card, and then sold it after they realized they broke something.

EDIT: If you can, grab the BIOS from GPU-Z and share it here, as well as just a screen shot of GPU-Z.

So this bios is what your card is using. As I said before, looking through all the BIOS's on TPU, the white Armor OC cards are only 4GB, so if you have no issues possibly bricking the card, could see what happens flashing a 4GB bios.

Could be a 570 flashed to a 580?
Not the first time that's been done.

The thing is basically a paperweight in current state, so I have no issues trying it.

As far as white armor card, I talked to my friend last night and he says he is using one right now for work/gaming. 8gb version.
I do have the box for this card, had an additional sticker might be useless/box from another card but grabbed a pic just incase

Yep, white was the original colour for the Armor OC, until Mk 2.
The pictures used are place holders and not always the correct card.
I'd suggest looking for an early Bios as it's most likely to be for the first version.

Seems an odd one, Lots of Russian topics online but I did manage to find a thread on TPU about your card with a Bios uploaded by the poster. see post #5.
