I got mine for 350 about a month and a half ago. Which was an amazing steal at the moment. I also own a 75 Hz 1080p ultrawide with freesync, so the card is a joy to own. It's also a good pair with my ryzen 7 1700 for productivity (blender especially..) So in the end, for the money I couldn't get a better card. AMD high end + Linux = win in my book
@UFDisciple I was just curious on why you had not touched on underclocking to maintain great hashrates (with Ethereum) at reduced power consumption. Increasing the memory clocks or changing its timings will make a significant bump in mining performance, but depending on the card, not all can obtain high memory clocks or opt to modify the bios. For example, I take a bone stock RX480 8GB with a 1288core/2000mem configuration and increase the power slider to ensure that the clockrates are maintained (I make sure the fan and temperature limits do not cause the clockrates to throttle, either). At stock settings outlined above, it mines Ethereum at 24.7mh/s and consumes an average of 112W at the GPU only (voltage automatically goes to 1.13V). I drop the frequency slider to -14% so the core operates at 1110mhz. The hashrate bumps up by 0.1 to 24.8mh/s and it consumes an average of 86W at the GPU only (voltage automatically drops to 1.025V). I drop the frequency slider to -18% so the core operates at 1055mhz. The hashrate returns to 24.7mh/s and it consumes an average of 77W at the GPU only (voltage automatically falls to 0.988V). Decreasing clockrates using the slider hits a point of diminishing return when it comes to maintaining that clockrate. If I drop frequency further, the hashrate will slightly begin to fall slightly, while power consumption does not fall as fast with automatic voltages. However, in any of these scenarios, you could undervolt manually and get much less power and cause your GPU to mine ever so quietly. For someone shy about overclocking memory (or if their 8gb part does not overclock well), then underclocking helps reduce power, temps, and fan speeds, while mining more comortably for you and the card.
If you can’t beat them, join them. I do wish I’d been able to take advantage of the boom more (I mostly missed out, due to having older GPUs that can only mine Gridcoin by running BOINC and having to wait for price drops on more powerful cards).
Tashfiq Rahman Its gotta be how youve set your radeon settings to work with your GTA settings. You should put Radeon on default and just use the GTA settings. Thats how i set mine. I have also an 8gb RX but only a phenom 2 cpu but i get around 50-60 fps on gtaV played on ultra in 1080p on a 50 inch, using DX11 on win10. I get lower fps if i play it on my win7 (DX10) on the same computer (i dual boot)
I thought that ETH morning was more dependent on memory speed and that ETH miners typically undervolt and underclock the core for cooler and lower power operation. Is this wrong, or is there another popular cryptocurremcy?
Its still 100 over the actual price but still just about the same as gtx 1060 6 gig and seems to run games pretty well although not too happy with batman arkham origins sometimes its super fast sometimes its slowish and stuttery the biggest thing I found so far let's hope my new i7 7700k will do the job better

+KvT Nah, wouldn't be wise, at least for gaming. 580's value/price is terrible at the moment. You'd be much better off with a 1060 6GB or even a cheap 1070.
a second hand 980Ti is the best bet ! even though consumes more power but it's as fast as a 1070 ! upgrading from 1050ti to rx580 is more like a sidegrade not an upgrade !
iliass serrhini yes. you can change it the fans but the replacement ones are kind of expensive. I got the msi one because it looks better in my opinion and it was a little cheaper
No longer profitable in ETH Mining. I run 24 gpu with 31mhs per card. Free electricity and air conditioning cos I work in Power Plant. I have everything for free, 5 big IT equipment rooms, 4x 10gb internet lines. And 1x 100gb lease line run for another 15 years as well. My office got considerably few spacious free rack 42ues system. Just mining for fun and for test actually, bcos ppl outside thinking mining is profitable, and eager to do that, so I decided to do my own physical mining cos I dont mind losing USD20k just like that. Actually I have a spare of usd100k for the test. Afford to lose as well, yet hard to get those gpu lately, I stop buying the rest. Should you thinking of start to physical mining, STOP IT BABY. Unless you are ready to lose like me. I can make usd20k from other way of project in 2-3 months. No sweat and harm to lose usd20k just like that.
Just saying what you forgot ...he he he. I had the XFX 480 Black Edition the gpu was annoying loud plus i did not like the plastic (way too much for my taste) on the gpu. I´m more than happy with my Powercolor RX 580 Golden Sample :) Anyways great gpu´s if you are a amd fan!
Avery Kucan asics usually don’t last as long with the same profit margins and also don’t have much flexibility with coins that they can mine. gpus can still make a lot of money/price if u mine asic resistant coins, which make money from gpus
why would you want a GPU for playing while you can put it to make money? I mean, i what world do u live in? in the world of I have my dad who pays me all my stuff or s...?
you edit the bios , by taking the 1750mhz timing's and using them to the 2000mhz place , by doing that it will have higher bandwith , i noticed a 4fps increase w/o memory OC by doing that only , i get 84fps in RoTB benchmark 1080p VH with 1410 gpu(to be stable 24/7) and 2100vram , in 3d fire strike i get 15900 gpu score

You have no idea of the misery i had to go through because of this mining craze, i had a decent system built from scratch with a i5-7600k around May 2017, Sadly i didnt have enough money to buy a GTX-1060 so i waited and used my old GTX-650Ti for a while....Then hell happened. The country i live in is full of console users and the PC hardware demand was already so low, that a low end GTX-1060 cost $300 instead of $250. Even after the situation has stabilized the same fucking gigabyte windforce GTX-1060 is almost $350 now THE PRICES KEEPT ON INCREASING. Imagine 4 months of torture and waiting, I finally bought a used GTX 970 for about $170. I searched and searched every hardware store and event went as far as traveling to other cities to no avail. Online shopping here is retarded. When i see a comment like this it angers me how ppl got what they wanted at a price cheaper than MSRP. So dont tell me im not one of you, i have faced enough frustration than the 10 of you combined
+Areeb Jamal Bruh, twas a joke. I have sympathy for you. Considering after currency conversion a 1060 here in SA costs $350 as well, we're in the same boat.

Too true. AMD is in such a strange place ATM.
fast grab ur rx 580 4g at $269 gaming x @ amazon
Still over priced, but if you need one ... get a 3GB 1060 at NewEgg for under $200.
but at least rx580 on par with the gtx 1060 6gb at $269
I bought this same RX 580 from Best Buy at $271 with tax of 6.5%

Hi, you still recommend this card for mining ? Gtx 1060 6Gb, Rx 570 or XFX Rx 580 8Gb ?
it gets even cooler lel
:D
But can we make it 20% cooler? XD
Does anyone know how I can get new cables for this video card I got one for dumb cheap but it has no cables?
So mining only comes from your gpu so if i got a basic cheap set up with a sick gpu it will be exactly the same ?

but my rx480 beat's this w/o a problem , since it has vram timing's moding+ a nzxt g12 +240aio on it runing @ 1450mhz , while not going over 50c :D
