Enable SAM on 8GB RX 580 with Gigabyte & MSI Motherboards (7/21/22)
How to enable Smart Access Memory (SAM) on the RX 580 8GB graphics cards. I used two different machines and the specs are below. Gigabyte: X570 Aorus Pro, Ryzen 5 3600, 32Gigs 3600 C18, Gigabyte RX 580 8GB MSI: X570 Tomahawk, Ryzen 5 5600X 32Gigs 3600 C16, MSI RX 580 8GB My current PC is the MSI system above, now with MSI RX 6600 XT 8GB Anyway, I was able to enable SAM on RX 580s and you might be able to as well! Please Note: I didn't run before and after benchmarks because I was mostly interested in seeing if I could actually enable SAM on my 580 card.
