The most profitable coins for mining with AMD Radeon RX 580
The Radeon RX 580 video card was presented in April 2017 along with the RX 570. Like the younger model, the RX 580 comes with different memory sizes: 4 GB and 8 GB. Despite this, the hash rates of video cards are the same in many algorithms. In general, the device is most often also used for mining Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.
Among the strengths of the model, miners note an excellent ratio of work performance and power consumption, that is, it has a relatively high hash rate with adequate kilowatt consumption. For this reason, the RX 580 was at one time relatively difficult to buy – sometimes the model was simply not available.

| BeamHash – 11.5 Sol / s | Ethash – 30 Mh / s | Etchash – 30 Mh / s |

Characteristics and parameters
The RX 580 specs for miners look tempting. The high core frequency that the card possesses will help to get good values in certain algorithms. The standard frequency of the chip is 1257 MHz , and in turbo mode it is 1340 MHz . The memory frequency is 1750 MHz .The Polaris architecture will enable up to 20% better performance through driver updates and higher frequencies.
You can mine coins on the RX 580 with 4 GB at about the same rates as on the RX 580 with 8 GB . With the exception of the big ether, the DAG file grows every epoch and four-gig cards are forced to work on a cut-down DAG, which is why the hash rate has already halved. After all, four gigabytes won’t be able to work in ETH pools at all . However, Vitalik Buterin’s coin will completely switch to PoS next year. But, on the other hand, the ETC cryptocurrency after the November hard fork is perfectly mined on the RX 580 with 4 GB of video memory.
Until the Ethereum rate climbed up, the minimum card price was somewhere around $649 . At the time of this review, the cost of RX 580 4GB in online stores starts at $749.99, eight gigabytes are 2-4 thousand more expensive. Compared to past mining experience, AMD cards show a greater profit than Nvidia, but if you want to buy more than 50 video cards, then it is better to buy Nvidia 1660Super series or higher.
