UPDATE2:

finally found out how to deal with Sapphire RX580 8GB with hynix. Its bios are the same as Sapphire with samsung, but how to mod the bios is different.

With samsung, just copy 1:1750 to 1:2000, it is done. easily from 24->31mh/s.
With hynix, you should copy 2:1750 to 2:2000, and tune the clocks, This will make you from 22->28mh/s.

10-15% lower is which I can live with.

Those are just Sapphire , other brand don't have the issue.

The good things with Sapphire is, the temperature is lower even the fans not that fast,and lower watt consumption.




----------------------------------
UPDATE:  

conclusion:

If your GPU is Sapphire 580 with Hynix, it sucks.
I bought 3 Sapphire 580 hynix, they are all 22mh/s top.

But XFX RX580 hynix is 24mh/s which means good.
Sapphire RX580 samsung is 24mh/s which means good too.

JUST dont buy Sapphire RX580 with Hynix !!

---------------------------------
Hi all. :)

My shapphire rx480 with samsung memory got about 27mh/s @80watts with 1000/2250.

My shapphire rx580 with samsung memory got about 27.8mh/s @120watts with 1100/2250.

Seems like rx480 is better not only because the mh/watts but also the price.But 480 are sold out so I have to buy 580 instead.I can live with that.



BUT yesterday I got a RX580 with hynix. No matter how I change the coreclock/memclock, IT ONLY GOT about 21mh/s @85watts.



My Sapphire 480/580 with samsung always do about 27mh/s on ETH  or 330 sols/s on ZEC. But this sapphire rx580 with hynix do 21mh/s on ETH or 280 sols/s on ZEC. There are 2pics @ #4th floor show that hynix only got 21mh/s.

Is that regular? i didnt flash bios,only use msi afterburner. Does it means 580 with hynix sucks?what should I do ?

And which brand is better than sapphire? and why is that?

Thx.

Any solutions? which memory do you guys have? Is hynix worse than samsung?

in my experience rx470's and rx480's all run about the same hashrate (27.5 / 31.5 respectively) regardless of the memory, once you tune the memory straps, core clock, memory frequency, and voltage

 :-[Here is the Hynix one:
http://www.suolatech.com/hynix.jpg

 :DAnd here are the samsung :
http://www.suolatech.com/samsung.jpg

hynix is about 21 and samsung are about 28. Why is that? Anyone knows that?

i've rx 480 mining eth just get 25mh/s  :(

You can't get above 27 with ANY memory without strap mod except in rare cases.

i think 25mh/s is fine with default bios, you can easily get 28mh/s by tune the cc/mc.

But this hynix one , only get 21mh/s with default bios or tuned. >:(

And there are someone PM me that they have the same problem. If you too,reply this topic. ;)

my point is the rx580 only got 21. I highlighted that point just now in case someone else dont get me. Thx.

Hynix is good, i have RX580 4gb Hynix, run 31mh/s

thx for your reply, I think there maybe something wrong only with THIS GPU, I will return it to the vendor.

Can you share details about your setup? BIOS version, GPU and memory clocks, voltage?

Thanks!

Is there any difference for miners between the Sapphire Nitro and the Sapphire Nitro+ ?

Today, I bought 2 more Sapphire RX580 with Hynix memory, they are both run about 22mh/s, and I tune/mod bios,they are still 22mh/s.

I have bought many Sapphhire RX480/580 with Samsung memory,they are all run about 24mh/s,  and +3 if tuned,+3 if bios modded, 31mh/s at last.

I also bought XFX RX580 with Hynix, it is 24mh/s which means can up to 31mh/s and it did.

so I think Sapphire rx580s with Hynix memory are disaster.No matter how you tune/mod it just get 22mh/s TOP.

I have rx 580 8Gb Hynix Nitro+ 31mhs, great card for mining.

try a different motherboard, I have an older motherboard that does the same thing on my rx400 series while flashing/overclocking them (22MH/s), but when moved to my mining motherboards they run fine

Yes that is a great idea. I tried that on mobo 2 of "BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO"(6pcie) and "Gigabyte xxx"(my game computer ), they all do 22mh/s, but other GPU on these 3 mobo is 24mh/s means can up to 31mh/s.

Maybe it is not the mobo issue?

Any other advices?Thx.

that is amazing, May I ask the default bios and tune do 22mh/s or 24mh/s?

If it was 22mh/s , how did you make it to 31mh/s? Thx.

It's wierd. I got 31.5mh/s  Sapphire RX480/580 samsung , but only 22mh/s sapphire 580 hynix no matter how.

I am still working on it.

nothing wrong with hynix/samsung/elpida/micron their performance is same on average (i am running all of them), each of them just have different optimum setting for strap, clock and voltage

I have this card. I'm not a strapmeister. I can achieve 30+ with an explanation.

 BIOS strapping 101: copy the 1750 strap over the higher straps. 28+ mh/s

Luck:

After reading all the relevant 580 threads, treasure can be found in the AMD rebrand thread that can get this card to 30+. But......, the drawback is that this card uses more power.

Out of experience, 4G Hynix can go to 31-32 without any issues.

My PandaminerB3 has 470 4G Hynix and all of those cards are running at 31.5Mh for weeks now. (250Mh+)

8G Hynix is a different story. It also has an extra 2250Mh strap.

This one is indeed a bit more difficult to fine tune.

But i have this one over 30Mh as well.

It can all be done, just be sweet to it, caring and when you're in the mood, a good lullaby can do miracles too!  :D
Nah, seriously, 8G Hynix can do 30+ easily as well.


Greetings!

Yeah definitely don't buy the Sapphire rx580's with Hynix, they're terrible cards with terrible hash rates, since they're the newest in the rx series they also have terrible resale value, the fans are terrible too and can't even keep the cards below 75deg celsius. Don't buy these, get some old (second hand) rx480s for double the price!

Sapphire Rx580 Pulse 8gb Hynix

Proof:
http://imgur.com/a/IAFv6

yes, I did it. all the other GPU got 31mh/s , except  sapphire with hynix which are still 22mh/s.

sapphire with samsung did 31.
sapphire with elpida did 31.
xfx with samsung did 31.
xfx with hynix did 31.

ONLY sapphire with hynix did 22.... I tried it on 3 different GPU. All did 22...

Still don't know why.

You expect that gpu to run at 50 degrees when dual mining?

You're stressing it like a madman, it's like you running up a hill while carrying 2 bags of cement.

I have Sapphire Pulse 580 8GB with hynix and i am ok with that cards, They are getting 29.6 MH without problems. Now i have only 2 in work the temp are ok, 62 and 58 degree. I have made some mod on them. Both with the pc are getting 340 W from the wall.  So its not a bad card at all. I am happy with this model. You can check the pic for more details :D
http://imgur.com/6QgVt0x

Maybe my sarcasm wasn't clear enough, try this one http://imgur.com/a/IAFv6

rx580s by sapphire are amazing and people need to stop bashing them because there were a lot of issues in the past.

Thanks for sharing.

I have work it out. just like you said.about up to 28-29@ 110 watt ,it is fine.
And my samsung cards are about 31.5 @ 140 watt which I prefer. lower mh/watt but making more profit.

I am sure you generate about the same amount of memory errors as dollar being printed

I copied the straps from 2:1750 to 2:2000.. What are the core clock and memory settings to go for 28 ?

MSI Armor 580 8GB with hynix sux also :(

i have 3samsung and 4elpida 480, elpida is TERRIBLE can't go overs 1850-1900 while samsung can handle 2150 2200...
very bad

That didn't work for me you need to copy 2:1500 to 2:1625, 2:1750 & 2:200 that will give you 24 then set mem to 2050 cor 1180 & pwr 4 that will giv u 27/28 which is the maximum I've manage to get without crashing.

I just received some Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 8GB GPUs. I am testing with one GPU right now (having Hynix Memory).
I played around with afterburner, but I never got more than 22.5 MH/s (140W power draw according to GPU-Z) (stock settings). Is there something I can do to get better values without modifying the BIOS?

Please let us know how it goes.  I'm with the crowd that can't get a Sapphire PULSE RX580 8GB modded past the 22 Mh/s without it crashing within two minutes.  Really need some guidance here.  I've tried all the tutorials and available roms, but nothing works.  And my NITRO+ 8GB arrives on Monday.

Hello there, I just bought 6 Sapphire nitro+ with Hynix memory and I can confirm they only get 22 mh/s no matter what I did...
I gotta say i'm pretty disappointed with this performance...
I wanna ask you about your bios mod, have you been running it for the past month without problem ?
thanks

This one (Version 2) is working fine for me:
http://1stminingrig.com/best-bios-rom-sapphire-nitro-rx-580-8gb-oc-hynix-memory-30-mhs/

Hey thanks man, so I managed to bios flash my rx 580s all six of them, I was very happy when they started hashing at 27MH after bios mod and 2000mhz memory clock, then even happier when i overclocked with MSI afterburner to get 30.1mh on 2250mhz memory and 1150mhz core clock.
Then the strangest thing happened, I have all cards on same settings yet only one gpu is always displaying this error on claymore v9.6
I tried replacing the gpu pcie slot, putting it on default clock speed (1411mhz/2000mhz) and even reflashing it but still same issue...
I'm using combined amd driver from cryptomined channel on win10.

any ideas what's going on ?
thanks ^^

Download HWinfo, run sensors only and see if there are any memory errors. I've never seen a Bios modded RX 580 that can you can overclock the memory to 2250 MHz and not produce tons of memory errors.

Thanks, I came back to answer my own question, after some digging turns out the PCIe risers i'm using are shit, after switching the PCIe bios settings to GEN2.0 (they were GEN 3.0) the problems are gone and all cards are hashing normally.. Although, I've set the clock to 2150 to make sure I avoid any other issues later on.

Is there any clear indication or way to tell which brands/specific cards are using hynix or Samsung? Or is it just down to luck of what you get?

I can't get my Sapphire PULSE 4GB Hynix above 23.x ETH-only or 22.x/0.68 dual ETH/SC.  I've done the BIOS mod.  Strange thing is changing the memory clock in Wattman seemingly does nothing.

Also has anyone figured out how to get rid of Wattman completely so that Afterburner will function normally?  I did a modify of the installation but Wattman returned.  Guess the next thing is to uninstall everything and do a driver-only install.

These cards can actually hash at 30-31 very easily. You need to mod the bios a bit but nothing out of the ordinary for AMD RX series cards. I have an 8x GPU rig of RX 580 Nitro+ 8GB. Total rig draws just under 1500 Watts and I"m pulling about 244 Mh/s ETH + about 4850 Mh/s SC. It is sort of a lot to type out. I'm going to make a video on it here in the next few days as many people have had issues with these cards including myself. I was new to AMD when I bought these so it was a bit of a learning curve. Now that I am familiar with it I don't mind them. Let me know if you would like to know more and I'll post the video link here.

I have now 4x Sapphire Radeon Nitro+ RX580 8GB (11265-01-20G, A1727), all with Hynix. BIOS modded, mining with Claymore 9.8 and AMD Beta drivers with stable 30.3MH/s. See screen shot below.

Hey, have you tried dual mining ? Also, did you get any incorrect shares ? if yes how many in 24 hours ? Thanks.

I'm not dual mining. No incorrect shares.

That's awesome, I was kinda hesitant to move to beta driver but thanks I'll uninstall old and  update today.

I had a hell of a time getting my Sapphire PULSE 570 to OC.  Finally got there with a ROM from Anorak's site.  I get 27 MH/s or so on only 70ish Watts.  I'll take it.  The Sapphire is actually running about 1 MH/s faster than my XFX on slightly less power.  I have never been able to get either 570 above 28.x MH/s even at full power.  Probably just unlucky with the silicon lottery I guess because I think I've tried everything.

I have six Sapphire 580 Nitro+ 4GB (Hynix) cards. 4 of them running at 24.*mhs and 2 at 22.*mhs I've looked everywhere for bios mods and everyone says different things. I'm afraid to try any of them because I don't want to brick my card. I'm fairly new at these modding/clocking stuff so I need some guidance.

Is there someone with the same card that can share settings that are tested and working? I'm not looking for free info - I'll happily mine for a day or two(not much but from the heart :) ) to your address if someone can give me a working solution.

PM me and email me your stock bios

Make sure you are using the new AMD driver with the epoch fix, it really works.

It doesnt work for everybody, some people have problems with hashrates jumping up and down when using the AMD blockchain driver. But hey it's worth the try isn't it :)
I have Sapphire 580 Nitro+ 8Gb cards with Hynix and im hashing with each at 30.5MH stable, the fan doesnt even run all the time.

The thing is it takes some time to get to know your GPU, each card is or can be different. For the peeps that want to flash quickly and get mining it could be a nightmare yes...true that. Just dont give up is my advice.

which settings and which bios mod you use, come with my 580 8gb nitro only on 26mh / s with 96watts consumption  ???

Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new into mining and I just want to share with you my experience with a Radeon RX 580 GPU paired with Hynix memory.

My card is a Sapphire RX 580 8GB Nitro+ Special Edition (blue card; dual bios, factory OC: GPU @ 1430MHz / Mem @ 2100MHz) with 1x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin power ports.

I'm currently mining ETH and Decred on Windows 10, AMD blockchain driver and using Claymore 10.0 dual miner.

Going with the stock bios this card got me around 15-16 Mh/s, while the OC version went up to 18 Mh/s.....a little disappointed as everybody else (from what I've read online) gets 24-25 Mh/s stock (correct me if I'm wrong here :) ). I overclocked the memories a little bit more and gained a max 20 MH/s, but temps went even higher ~74 degrees Celsius, fans louder and eventually memory errors started to show up in HWInfo.

Then I started do modify the stock non-OC bios with SRBPolaris V3 and changed the 1750, 2000 and 2250 straps from the Hynix section with this (found on anorak.tech):
    
    777000000000000022AA1C00B56A6D46C0551017BE8E060C006AE6000C081420EA8900AB0300000 01B162C31C0313F17

Now, running claymore with the GPU @ 1150Mhz / 950mV and mem @ 2250MHz / 950mV (values sent as parameters to claymore), the card gets me ~30.8 MH/s (ETH) + ~919.300 Mh/s (Decred), while drawing ~120 Watts (reported by GPU-Z). My system has been mining for 2 days straight with no GPU memory errors reported and temperatures are staying at ~55 degrees Celsius, fans 49%.

With all these mods done to the card I am quite satisfied with it and I'm planning on getting more :)

Sorry for the long post and I do hope that the above info will be of some help to people who have RX 580 GPUs with Hynix memory.

Cheers!

That's the same Hynix performance strap used in PBE v1.6. The Sapphire RX 580 8 GB (blue faceplate) also has Samsung timings in the first set of straps. The PBE v1.6 'one click timing patch' option changes both sets of straps to the bundled performance timings (UberMix v3.1 for Samsung). You may also get a bump in the DCR hash by adjusting the -dcri from the default value of 26 to ~30 without affecting the ETH hash rate.

Anyone has tried to optimize some RX580 with 4Go of RAM only ?

I have a MSI one and managed to get 28 Mh/s but nothing more... Quite a pity :(

I would try the PolarisBiosEditor v1.6 'one-click timing patch' bundled performance strap. I have a Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB. With the PBE bundled strap, 1150 MHz core clock, 2050 MHz memory clock, -96 mV underclcok and -15% power limit in Afterburner -dcri 30 I get 29.8 MH/s ETH and 895 MH/s DCR dual mining with 125-145W shown in GPU-Z.

https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor

Nice !! Thanks a lot, I'll try that right away

Edit : what is the brand of your card's memory ? Hynix or Samsung ?

Most Sapphire RX 570/580 cards have two sets of memory timings, each from a different brand. My Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB has Elpidia in the 1: set of timings and Hynix for the 2: timings. PBE v1.6 'one click timing patch' will apply the performance strap for each set of straps based on which memory type it detects.

16 MH/s stock is insanely low.  I have two Sapphire 580 4GB (Hynix) and got 24 out of the box.  With Anorak's power save BIOS I get 27.x.  Not great but I haven't been able to get any more than that.  Anorak's memshift BIOSes were no better.  I'll try your posted clock value later, would love to get 30 even if it's a bit power hungry.

Stop talk a shit about  30,5-31 mh/s with rx 580!!!  Yes, its possible to get 31 mh/s but how long?? Rig will shut down after 1 hour, 3 hour..in the best case rig will shut down after 24 h.

I have 3 Sapphire RX 580 8GB Special Edition cards (blue faceplate) with Samsung + Hynix dual timing straps. Easily got them to 30-31 MH/s with 855-865 MH/s DCR dual mining after just flashing the cards using the PBE v 1.6 'one click timing patch' bundled performance straps Bios mod. Cards run very stable with zero memory errors using a 1150 MHz core clock, 2100-2200 MHz memory, -96 mV undervolt and -15% power limit. Awesome cards!

Hello guys.

I have troubles with Sapphire Pulse Rx 580 8gb (Hynix)
With bios mod i can reach only 25 max (stock was 21) with drops .
Maybe someone can share their bios mod with me ?

Email me : mantozez@gmail.com

ps. Straps with modding were from 2:1750 to 2:2250

Thanks!

Where do you get this "one click timing patch"?

What are those other cards that are getting less than 30 Mh/s?

Asus STRIX RX 580/480's 8GB, Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB and a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 570 4GB. All were modded using the 'one click timing patch' from PBE v1.6.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1917282.msg21668411#msg21668411

Cool, I have a Pulse also and have never gotten over 28 Mh/s.  I'll try the once click patch.

Hi everyone,

I'm a total novice and having trouble getting my Asus rx580 8g OC Dual Hynix (not Strix) to hash over 20mh.  Tried some roms from anorak and it didn't do anything for me.  Would the 1.6 one click timing patch be something I could try?  Does anyone else have experience with this card and getting it to hash at least in the high 20's?  If so, what did you do?
 Any help is greatly appreciated (and again, I'm a total beginner) thanks!

No, it doesn't.  All of my RX 580 has does 31+ (Hynix and Elpidas). Some even do 32+ but aren't stable.

Anyone has a mod ROM for Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB with Micron memory. I have 28mhs with 1gpu... I also own models with Hynix memory and after bios rom update it runs with 30mhs.
