Next up in the Proxmox adventures: Why does my Rx590 show up as an RTX 2070 and how do I fix it?

Me again. The guy with the NIC problem from before.

I installed the Rx590 and it shows up in lspci as an RTX 2070. I was hoping it was just Proxmox not having drivers or something, but when I pass it into the Hackintosh it’s meant for, it shows as NVIDIA there too:

Now I did get the Rx590 off eBay, but I’m it was listed as and looks like this: https://www.powercolor.com/product?id=1551768831

So I think it is actually a Rx590.

This is lspci. 01:00.0 is a RTX 3060. 03:00.0 is the Rx590.

Welp. Seems I’m an idiot. I’m very much a Unix noob so assumed it was something that Unix I didn’t understand rather than check the physical card again.

I was definitely shipped an nvidia card, not the amd I bid on! So case opened with eBay!

Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks for the great help.

Stay tuned for my next dumb question. :)

It’s Linux, not Unix.

lspci will read the vendor and device id via PCI and use that to determine what the device is. You might want to make the output a bit more digestable / useful via lspci -s 03:00.0 -k -nn, but I’d assume the ids that match an 2070 will show up.

Could you please take the card out and provide us with a few pictures from different angles, maybe getting a good look at the actual chips?

I’d like to rule that out before chasing rabbits here.

Also, you could always run nvidia-settings, which will show information about an NVIDIA card using a different access method.

I’d still like to see the pictures of the card though ;)
