Here it is guys, the beast, the best of, the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB Limited Edition mining peformance test and review.

First of all i must say that this is one of the best GPU i ever tested. It is STABLE, RUN COOL, BEST HASHRATE and is HUGE!!!

As my previous test for the PULSE version i did the same tests, same practice. I tested it with Ethereum + Decred, Siacoin, LBRY Credits and PascalCoin also Zcash (Equihash), Monero (CryptoNight) and Nicehash.

Stock performance, mining hashrate and power consumption!

I know that Claymore released version 9.5 but the tests were made with 9.4 one 🙂

NOTE: I already did a similar tutorial for a RX 470 4GB and i will link some points there to avoid writing the same thing over and over again!

For this card the bios is already switched to NON OC version (HDMI SIDE), do this:

first start the pc with his default bios position (non oc, hdmi side)
once windows is booted switch jumer to the other side and restart the rig
now check the following steps

2 Backup OC BIOS
