Nitro+ if you are going to game a bit as well (bios switch) and think a couple of extra degrees is too hot.
For just mining, Pulse is the way to go. Lower power draw at the same hashrates (both Nitro and Pulse have the same clocks) and you are more likely to hit the Micron lottery (32 MH/s @ 87W).
Downside to both, their support sucks.

Nice and great GPU card for mining. A lot miner still use it for their activity mine, because that's not too expensive card and good hashrate. If you want to modify it, don't worry, there are a lot tutorial at the internet, you can check it. Or you can go to anorak tech and techpowerup, there are many explanation.
Happy mining sir.
Happy mining sir.
good video cards, take it, you will not regret it. I bought a 4 GB card, I see no reason to overpay for 2 mega hash per second. for flashing BIOS there is a lot of video under different memory manufacturers. When the broadcast is POS, it is possible to mining other currencies on the same algorithm
Sapphire Radeon RX 580 is a great graphic card for mining also you can try Radeon XFX . They have a good hashrate and low temperature .
I recommend you to watch on youtube for bios settings is more clear there than a text

That right. It is good for ETH mining although the ROI is very long now.
Late to party, story of my life.
yeah, ETH party is started end 2015 until end 2017 I experienced for price one ETH is 20$ (in my country) and when it was the price of BTC around 60000$ an along with the glory of ETH then almost all price of hardware for mining altcoin increasing let alone GPU price isn't sense.
honestly, this is the time u just sit back for atleast a month. we're about to see radeon rx570 for $200 and rx580 for $209 very soon.
Half of equihash is going asic. And if these fpga guys kill cryptonight, eth will be flooded even without POS happening.
If FPGA turns out to be just too cumbersome to use, i'd consider buying some rx570 at $200. but in general, the risk dont outweigh the reward right now.

now that ETH is going to go PoS you are going to add more cards to the network with the hashrate skyrocketing??? OMG.......... people are just Fu---cking up this.
Here's a question that'll chap Piskeante's hide: How many would I need to effectively mine solo?
Ive got 5 Sapphire Nitro + Limited Edition's and love them. As soon as ETH switches, just go to Monero or whatever else there is. Not a big deal.
A question for those who have experience mining ETH with Radeon Cards:
I don't have a lot of experience with AMD chipset cards, but I'm thinking of adding a couple of RX 580s to my ETH machine. I've narrowed my search down to the Sapphire Pulse, or the Sapphire Nitro+ (8gb cards.) Which would you choose? Any recommendations for bios settings and how to flash the bios for a first timer would be really appreciated.
TIA
I would choose Sapphire Nitro+ because I have heared from almost everyone who is in mining that this is the greatest card with greatest fan engine + hashrate when you overclock it.I don't have a lot of experience with AMD chipset cards, but I'm thinking of adding a couple of RX 580s to my ETH machine.

You can see this for example or just google information you are looking for but this website is truly amazing for mining reviews and etc. Here is article about sapphire nitro: https://1stminingrig.com/best-bios-rom-for-sapphire-rx-580-8gb-special-edition-hynix-memory-31-mhs/

I don't understand, does this mean mining with a GPU will be more difficult soon?
Ethereum is going to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) from Proof-of-Work (PoW). No official date has been announced yet; it'll probably be the first quarter of next year.
Mining difficulty has been constantly rising for Ethereum (see the graph here); once it goes PoS, it'll be somewhat a trouble for GPU miners as then they won't be able to mine Ethereum. Still, once it goes PoS, you'll have many other coins (using mine-able algorithms like ethash, cryptonight, equihash, etc) to mine. However, imagine all this hash switching from Ethereum to other GPU-friendly coins, it'd definitely create a huge difficulty increase in those coins and it'd be quite interesting to see how the market reacts after that.

I don't understand, does this mean mining with a GPU will be more difficult soon?but if Dag Size 4GB and ETH are still POW and your GPU have VRAM 8GB that means still can mine it.

When is PoS going to be implemented??I would go with the Nitro+ cards.

Both the Sapphire Pulse and Nitro+ are great mining cards. The difference is the Nitro+ has a better heatsink, runs cooler and a dual bios switch. I've had very good results with the Polaris Bios Editor 'one click timing patch' timings.
PBE automatically adjusts the timings with the bundled performance straps according to the cards memory type.

The only change I made to the PBE bundled timings is on the RX 580 Nitro+ cards with Samsung memory, I changed the bundled UberMix v3.1 Samsung timing with this one that is much more stable.
I easily get 31 MH/s on Samsung cards with a 1150 MHz core clock and 2150 MHz memory overclock. On Hynix cards I get 32 MH/s with a 1150 MHz core 2250 MHz memory overclock.
