Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
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
- Point 2 from previous tutorial: click here
3 Switch BIOS
- Point 3 from previous tutorial: click here
4 Backup “Silent” BIOS
- Point 4 from previous tutorial: click here
