Can RX 580 GPU run Spider-Man 2? We have some good news for you
Here's what you need to do to play Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on AMD RX 580. Check which graphics settings will prevent the game from crashing.
A lot of players excited to try Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PC ran into some pretty frustrating issues. The system requirements made it seem like the game would run fine on lower-end setups, but instead, it was either unplayable, had terrible performance, or GPU crashes. Some AMD users saw improvements after updating their drivers, but RX 580 owners had an extra problem to deal with.
AMD RX 580 GPU problems
The AMD RX 580 GPU may be a bit outdated, but it still performs well in many games, including some modern titles. While it might not consistently hit 60 FPS in intense action sequences, it remains a viable option. This is especially true for Spider-Man 2 on PC, where it still meets the minimum system requirements. However, the current issue lies with its drivers.
To avoid game crashes, AMD users should install the latest 25.1.1 drivers. However, the RX 580 isn’t included in this update, with its most recent drivers being 24.9.1 from October 2024. Many had hoped that game-breaking bugs like this would prompt a hotfix from AMD, but unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Thankfully, a new Spider-Man 2 update has apparently helped resolve the issue, allowing RX 580 users to finally enjoy the game.

Been with gamepressure.com since 2019, mostly writing game guides but you can also find me geeking out about LEGO (huge collection, btw). Love RPGs and classic RTSs, also adore quirky indie games. Even with a ton of games, sometimes I just gotta fire up Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, KOTOR, or Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, the OG, not that Throne of Bhaal stuff). When I'm not gaming, I'm probably painting miniatures or admiring my collection of retro consoles.
