Here is another BIOS long waited for most of you, but thanks to Igor i was able to test the Sapphire RX 580 8GB Special Edition remotely via teamviewer. I must say that the Special Edition GPU is awesome, just like the Limited Edition and Nitro+ with great hashrate, stability and undervolt control.
I didn’t had an energy meter to check power consumption from wall, but based on GPU-z reports i can come up with something very close to reality.
The benchmarks were done for the following:
Ethash Algorithm
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Ethereum Classic (ETC)
- Ubiq (UBQ)
- Expanse (EXP)
- Soilcoin (SOIL)
- Musicoin (MUSIC)
- etc..
Equihash Algorithm
- ZCash (ZEC)
- Zclassic (ZCL)
- Komodo (KMD)
- Hush (HUSH)
- Zencash (ZEN)
- etc..
CryptoNight Algorithm
- Monero (XMR)
- ByteCoin (BCN)
- Sumokoin (SUMO)
- Karbowanec (KRB)
- DigitalNote (XDN)
- etc..

In this case, for some reason I wasn’t able to set the clocks via .bat file and I had to split the commands. I set the clocks to 1130/2150, undervolted the GPU to -100mV via MSI Afterburner and added –mvddc 900 to the .bat file.
