Hello all,

I know this has probably been posted several times, however I cannot find an accurate thread for my issue.

I bought a 4,1 a while back, and never got around to upgrading it. I recently got a bonus at work, so I decided to go ahead and put the money into it. However, I already have an RX 580 XFX XXX Black edition (the only 4gb xfx model with 2304 shader cores). Basically in a nutshell, will I be able to install the 580 before flashing it to a 5,1 so I may test the card, or will I need to flash it before installing the card? (I can do either, I just need to know if I can do it before the flash).

Thanks to all who help.
