Overclocking AMD Radeon RX 580 graphics card for mining
When you start mining without additional graphics card settings, you most likely will not get the maximum hashrate values. First of all, you need to make sure that you are using a GPU driver that supports mining. In the case of AMD video cards, its firmware may also be required. Next, you must choose the optimal overclocking of the video card in order to get the maximum hash rate and at the same time keep the power consumption at the level you need. For some algorithms it is necessary to overclock the kernel, for others memory, for others, both. The main principle of overclocking video cards is stable operation and the maximum ratio of hash rate to consumed electricity. Importantly, each card is unique! For example, if one video card keeps the core frequency of 2000 MHz, then another card, which looks exactly the same, can only hold 1900 MHz. Choose overclocking individually for each video card.

How to Reduce Power Consumption of RX 580
To somehow reduce the amount of electricity costs, you can resort to downvolting. This will require a decrease in the voltage applied to the core, which will lead to a decrease in the total consumption of electrical energy.
For a more precise setting, you can use the detailed instructions from the video.

Undervolting is also performed through a batch file. Put in the executive file –cvddc 850 –tstop 850 so as not to overpay for electricity. You can register a reduced voltage of memory and core in the modified BIOS of the video card. If the core frequency is not stable, add the powerlimit value.
Payback AMD Radeon RX 580
The payback period for AMD Radeon RX 580 depends on its performance (hash rate), the purchase price of the video card, and also on how much power it consumes. The calculation shows the recommended retail price of the Amd manufacturer – $ 180, but you can change this value to the purchase price of your particular video card. Electricity consumption is not included in the calculation. The hashrate of the video card is indicated taking into account its optimal overclocking.

Review of the Radeon RX 580 8g video card in cryptocurrency mining
We present to your attention a review of the AMD Radeon RX 570 video card in mining on various algorithms. The first GPU we’ll talk about is the Sapphire NITRO + Radeon RX 580 Limited Edition. This is one of the best RX 580 models from Sapphire.
It has a higher clock speed (factory setting) than most other RX 580 GPUs , and has additional components such as spare fans. The model has improved cooling compared to the Sapphire RX 480 NITRO +. And of course the new model has a higher price tag. The new RX 580 cards, which look a lot like last year’s Sapphire RX 480s, will now be called PULSE. Let’s take a look at the characteristics.
