“XFX has put together a solid and well-built video card. It operates silently, power efficient and very cool.” — Overclocker’s Club
You choose your experience
We know enthusiast like options, so for our RX 500 series graphics cards we are offering Dual BIOS options. If you want optimal performance and want to keep your card cool as possible then use our Performance BIOS. If you prefer stealth, our Quiet Lower RPM BIOS might be the right options for you
BIOS Controlled overclocking
Software controlled clock speeds can be hindered by overall computer performance. XFX’s True Clock however is hardware controlled clock speed performance optimization, so your card is always running at an optimized performance level.
Power when you need it and quiet when you don’t.
XFX fans are equipped to run at the highest possible performance, while our Zero DB Fan System will also keep your fans running at efficient RPM in order to minimize annoying fan noise by lowering RPM all the way down to Zero RPM.
When the heat is on during intense gaming, our fans will speed up as needed.

With Sapphire’s Trixx software, we set the card to its maximum power limit of 150 percent, and began ramping up the clock speed.
Initially, we capped out at 1,451MHz, but Trixx allows you to push more voltage through the GPU, and with an additional 96mV we doubled this 40MHz boost, giving us a final stable boost clock of 1,491MHz, which the card was able to run at constantly thanks to the unlocked power limit. This is a near-six percent overclock and 10MHz more than we achieved on the Asus Strix card – nothing to write home about but not bad either.
2.25GHz (9Gbps effective) is the built-in limit for memory overclocking, and like the Asus Strix card the Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ 8GB had no trouble reaching and maintaining this clock speed, a healthy 12.5 percent boost.

Review of the Radeon RX 580 8g video card from the point of view of mining
cryptocurrency mining algorithms.
First, let’s analyze the Sapphire NITRO + Radeon RX 580 Limited Edition. On
today this card can be considered the best from Sapphire. The card is based on the Polaris 20 GPU.
similar in architecture to Polaris 10, but its structure is more optimized. nine0751
A distinctive feature of the video card is a higher stock
clock speed among other models of the RX 580 line. It is worth noting the presence of spare fans, which, although
they are reliable, but, as they say, they will not be superfluous. Video card has the most efficient system
cooling, even compared to the similarly similar Sapphire RX 480 card, which was new in the past, and even
You should not compare with earlier versions of devices. And of course we will highlight the price of the video card, which has more
higher than the previous model. nine0005
After analyzing the current prices for video cards, we conclude that
in 2020, mining crypto tokens through the GPU is more profitable in the form of cloud mining than buying and
installation of own equipment.
Cloud mining has at least two significant advantages regarding
physical: flexible scale of initial investment and no need to maintain equipment.
Technical features of the 8 GB Radeon RX 580 graphics card:
- 2304 universal data processors
- 14 Nanometer Processors
- Factory frequency 1257 MHz, overclocked to 1450 MHz
- 8 GB 2GHz video memory on 256 MB bus
- Ability to connect up to 5 monitors via DVI-D, DisplayPort (2 pcs), HDMI (2 pcs)
- Power consumption 185 watts at factory frequency and 225 watts when overclocked to 1450 MHz
- Cooling system based on two 95mm coolers equipped for greater durability and
less noise level with two ball bearings each.
It should be noted that now improved fans are being installed
not only on the RX 580 NITRO + LE model, but also on the RX 580 non Limited and RX 570 NITRO, which is good news
customers, because the problem of high-quality cooling is extremely relevant when using cards for
mining.

An important feature of the 5th generation NITRO RX is the need
connection of two PCI-E power connectors (6-pin and 8-pin) at the same time. This is required to maintain
high clock frequency of processors. Which, by the way, leads to more energy consumption and can create
difficulties if you want to assemble a farm of 6 such video cards on one power supply.
Possibilities of mining on the video card of coins encrypted with the Ethash or Equihash 9 algorithm0004
Ethash (Ethereum) and Equihash (Zcash) are especially active in mining
use the memory capacity of the video card. Therefore, the mining of crypto tokens on the Radeon RX 580 will not be maximum
energy efficient, because even if the clock frequency of the video memory is 2000 MHz, but I would like to see not Hynix, which
manufacturers decided to use apparently to save money, and Samsung GDDR5, because we are talking about the Limited Edition RX 580,
which is the top among the representatives of the line.
Below we will consider the measurements of the hashrate and try to
analyze
Using Claymore Dual ETH miner (latest version) we were able to
get a maximum hash rate of 22.5 MHS, which is for a card with the same characteristics as the one under test
Radeon RX 580 Limited Edition — not happy at all. Perhaps if the manufacturing company, as we have already discussed
above, I did not use Hynix, but Samsung GDDR5 — the result would be completely different, but what is — is.
We also tested ZEC mining on Claymore software
ZCash AMD GPU Miner 12.4, but even here the result was not stunning. Average hashrate 296H/sec. Perhaps it
due to a more active use of the card’s memory resources when working on the Equihash algorithm, or maybe it’s
used in the production of Hynix memory on a video card, or the matter is in the official driver, which simply does not
is designed for mining on the map, but is designed for gameplay.
Below are the mining performance on several more algorithms:
- Decred — 1.
202 GHS - Monero — 600H/sec
- LBRY Credits – 0.165 GHS
- Pascalcoin – 0.830 GHS
- SIBCoin – 8.2 MHS
We do not claim that these are the maximum values that can be
squeeze out of the video card. We received the above indicators on standard settings. If
experiment — you can achieve higher hash rates. For example, when mining ether, there is
the meaning of lowering the frequency of the GPU, which will accordingly lead to a decrease in the power consumption of the device, and for mining ZEC
on the contrary, it is necessary to increase the clock frequency, which will lead to a slight increase in power consumption, but to
a significant increase in hashrate. nine0005
There is also a strong opinion on the net that the RX 580 Limited Edition
can easily work on one 8-pin power supply. To do this, you only need to manually
adjust the clock frequency and supply voltage to avoid overload.
Summing up, we can say that the Radeon RX 580 Limited Edition is the first
the turn of the video card for gamers and the possibility of overclocking will be interesting during the game, although miners can be attracted
Huge fans that provide good cooling, and hence the smooth operation of the device.
