Best BIOS ROM for Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB Limited Edition Hynix Memory 31.5+ Mh/s
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!
POWER CONSUMPTION FOR SYSTEM IS AROUND 50W AND 60W
- 1411/2000
- 22.5 Mh/s on Ethereum
- GPU-Z 135w
- From wall 180w
- 1150/2250 -96mV
- 21.2 mh/s on Ethereum
- GPU-Z 90w
- From wall 125w
Let’s get started

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