Radeon RX 580: Review 2021 | Testing| Specs | Profit ( Good and Bad Side)

Specifications and power Radeon RX 580

First, let’s briefly review the technical characteristics of the card, which will help to understand its relevance for mining and a place in the top. There are two versions of the RX 580, 4 and 8 gigabytes of memory. For the rest of the characteristics, there are almost no differences between the cards, and the relevance of the “extra” 4 GB of memory will be considered in the following blocks.

• Graphic Engine: AMD Radeon RX 580
• Bus Standard: PCI Express 3.0

If you take the most reference version of the RX 580 NITRO from Sapphire, then the characteristics will be as follows:

• The core frequency is 1340 MHz for silent mode and 1411 MHz for maximum boost.
• Memory – 8,192 GB with a 255-bit bus and a frequency of 2 MHz.
• 225 watts peak power.

However, this is the most powerful map, which is dispersed from the factory to the maximum. Solutions from other vendors will have lower frequencies, and not only their overclocking potential will be important here, but also some of the manipulations associated with the firmware.

The cornerstone of mining is overclocking. In terms of importance, this criterion is second only to the price of the video card itself, which determines the payback and the ratio of income and investment. As is the case with other video cards, everything will depend on the memory manufacturer. In 2018, it was almost impossible to find even the top NITRO and Limited Edition solutions with Samsung memory.

Most of the cards come with Hynix memory, whose overclocking potential is significantly inferior, which will certainly affect the overall profit of the farm in mining. This indicator is not critical, but in the case of a possible choice, you should always give preference to Samsung video cards.
