Thanks bud

waiting for the clocks settings or mod settings done

And of course the pictures

I believe those numbers. I'm running a little throttled at the moment do to high ambient temps but my MSI 8G 580's are happy at 30mh at 80-85W.  It's a two mobo, 9 gpu ''garden'' pulling 1150 at the wall.

if you could also post some pictures and clocks settings might be really much appreciated bro

sure thing power saving is one of the most important goals on todays market


Sorry my friend I cant find my powermeter, but here is screenshot of my pc:
https://imgur.com/CHQWofP

I mount these two card on pc just to take that screenshot.
GPU0 is XFX RX 580 8GB Samsung memory
GPU1 is XFX RX 580 4GB Hynix memory

If you want copy of my bios just let me know, and I'll upload to anywhere, cause dont know how to attach files on this forum.

My rigs have only XFX cards, had bought from others vendors, but sold all others cards after few days.

My rigs:
XFX RX 580 8GB Samsung = 31 mh/s 95W
XFX RX 580 4GB Hynix = 30 mh/s 90W
XFX RX 570 4GB Elpida = 30 mh/s 95W
XFX RX 470 4GB Hynix = 30 mh/s 95W

Saphire it's good too, so go with XFX or Saphire.

I think you really need a power meter not just reading GPUz data

This is from the wall, not GPU-Z.

Care to share your clock settings or mods done?

or some actual pictures taken from the powerwatt wall

Im just amazed on achieving those power figures for such hashrates

at least if its really possible then there is somethin that I could look up to achieve

Offcourse, just tell me what bios you desire and I'll turn rig on and upload this to you. I have only RX 580 with 4GB and 8GB at this moment,2 rigs with RX 470 and RX 570 cards already sold out.
I cant take a picture at now, cause my rigs are offline now, here in Brazil my energy cost 0.22, not mining these days, but I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow or after and if you desire I'll upload my edited bios here.

A take some pictures before shutting down my rigs, to announce in local classifieds:

I call total BS.
You can't have a total system power draw of 95W with any of these GPUs mining at that speed.

You can believe in what you want, I'm not here selling nothing or to prove anything.
Just sharing my opinion and knowledge.

Offcourse my watimeter can get erros, but on GPU-Z shows 60~70W from GPU energy.
Same GPU-Z show a Saphire card at 110W and watimeter shows 130~140w

Unfortunately all the Gpu-s are not as profitable as they used to be. The other profitable cards are the high end ones like Rx Vega 64 and 1080 but they cost almost the double if not more than the Rx 580 so for the moment it is better to stick with the Rx 580 especially if you are just starting out to test the waters.

Mining rewards are not what they used to be and in fact they are very low compared to what they used to be.

thanks for taking time to reply to me.
As you say, those cards are way too expensive for me, so I will stick to RX580 just to give mining a try. Will see how it goes and will decide later whether to get more powerful card or not. thank you for your support

Hi there, I am planning to buy this GPU as my first mining card in the coming days/weeks. But I need help deciding which one to buy, since as the OP says there are so many of them. So I wanted to summon community’s opinion on “what are the factors you base your buying decisions (for GPUs) on?” Is it chip producer, brand, MHz out of the box, how many vents, power consumption, ability to overclock... etc? Thanks

I was thinking to get this one:

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 580 Gaming 8GB GDDR5, Chip: Polaris 20 XTX (Ellesmere XTX) "GCN Gen4", 1257MHz, Boost: 1355MHz (OC Mode)

Most of the things you should keep in mind while choosing your GPU are:

Ventilation, in the 580 series the Sapphire Nitro+ has the best ventilation of these cards, every other version is inferior to it.
Durability, in this area Gigabyte does a bit better although by not that much.
Price, in this area Gigabyte is still a bit better although not by that much even here.

Keep in mind those three criteria when buying a GPU, these criteria will not enable you to make a mistake while buying.

Although Rx 580 is not profitable nowadays with only about 0.5 dollars per card in mining rewards.

Wow, this is exactly the kind of info from experienced miners I was looking for. Based on the above info I decided to get the Sapphire Nitro+ as it is only 30€ or something like that more expensive than the card I was thinking to buy previously.  @swogerino could you suggest other, more profitable GPUs?  @Privatoria I remember reading somewhere that certain chips overclock easier than others (or something along these lines), that’s why asked about it. But good to know that they play no role, less things to consider for me 😉

yea, I have 1 XFX 570 too, but it has 10 C - 15 C more when mining comapred to Shappire 580.

I have no problem with this, I'm living in Brazil too hot here, but gpu goes to 60º maximum.
I'm using claymore with -tt 60 function.

I'd recommend you to buy cards with good radiators. Memory is almost equal now and it is difficult to check what chip in the box. I think that Sapphire produces the best AMD cards.

sapphire nitro + builts very stable. high hashrate and low heat values. with a good OC settings power consumption can under controlled as well.
