So I was using photo mode when I got an “out of video memory” error.
Why is this?
I am using an RX580 8gb which should have more than enough VRAM for the 1080p med/high settings I play at.

May not be 100% related, but AMD CPUs had a memory leak issue where the RAM would do weird stuff. Had a BIOS patch for it. It could be your GPU has a similar issue. Try looking up RX580 memory not clearing. May also try reinstalling (or just updating) the Radeon drivers to clear the configuration, or just switch to Nvidia 
One time watching a movie (Netflix) the memory just filled with the streaming buffer until I hit 100% RAM use and my browser crashed. Rebooted, never happened again (doing anything). Full disclosure, I was running Vista at the time. Sometimes computers just do weird stuff.

I did the opposite. Went from a GTX1050 to a 580 mostly because of this game.

Unlikely.
I do have a Ryzen CPU, however I’m running a never bios revision. The last BIOS before the 3rd gen beta one which has some issues.
I am updating drivers and will look for a newer bios if there is one available.

When you switched from the 1050 to the RX580 did you fully remove the Nvidia drivers before installing the Radeon? A freind loaned me a RX560 to compare to my GTX760 SLI set up, and I wan’t sure I would stay, so I left the Nvidia drives installed, and just added the Radeon. Results were… interesting. Maybe some residual GeForce drivers are causing conflicts?
For sure. I used display driver uninstaller in safe mode and completely powered the system down.
Then put in the RX580 and installed drivers.
I just updated the driver and it hasn’t happened again.
Rather common for residual drivers to cause conflicts.
Especially if you switch from an old CPU to a new platform and CPU and don’t reinstall Windows. Can cause problems
