RX 580 Nitro+ Special Edition (SE) mining help

[daniel0o0]

Hi.

I recently obtained a pair of RX 580 8GB Sapphire Nitro+ SE and tried it for mining. I was very disappointed to see that it only reaches about 18 Mh/s out of the box (ETH) . I tried many different things and by modding the VBIOS to according to the guide for LE (limited edition) I managed to get it to 24 MH/s. It´s still very disappointing when most people get 25 MH/s out of the box and around 30 MH/s with modding.
I cannot find any guides or info at all about this specific card when it comes to mining (or anything else for that matter).
So can anyone please help me with this? What can I do to increase my hashrate??

Thank you!

HI! I had the same problem ... When i plug in my card i only get around 19 mh/s so i was searhing on google how to increase hash rate with no luck ... and then i watched video on youtube how to flash bios etc. and i saw that u have bios switch ... and i said to myself let me try that and i did and i switched to "silent mode" or something like that and i now i get 22.1 mh/s i ll try to flash my card soon and i hope i ll boost hashrate lil more i hope that helped! Good luck ... and btw can u point me to some tutorial how did u flash ur bios? tnx!

Switch bios to silent mode and than flash your card. 

[priviet]

please upload stock bios (silent and turbo)

rumours say that the special edition has overclocked memory and I think they relaxed the timings due to high ecc error rate incoming

I have two Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ Special Edition (Blue Shroud/LEDs)

ROM Located at link below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3Sz3h7CSB_4TG1lWXF3dGtDdkU


Here's what I did:

Copy the following strap to 2:1750, 2:2000, 2:2250 only.
777000000000000022AA1C00B56A6D46C0551017BE8E060C006AE6000C081420EA8900AB0300000 01B162C31C0313F17

Change third line of "Memory" section to "2000." The purpose is that we're applying more aggressive timings, so I'm downclocking the memory to compensate (just in case). This way I have less of a chance of uploading unstable settings and giving myself a good headache trying to fix it. You can overclock later in Afterburner.

This got me to 28Mh/s stock.

In afterburner I then tested each card slowly and systematically. Each card is different and can handle different settings. Surprisingly, I found the below settings worked for both of my cards (81.1% and 76.7% ASICs)

-96mv
-21% Power Limit
- 1154Mhz Core
- 2250Mhz Memory

Yields 29.2 MH/s Eth + 497Mh/s SIA in dual-mining mode.
Yields 30.6 MH/s Eth only (test DAG 130)
Power Usage = 132W (81.1% ASIC)
Power Usage = 137W (76.7% ASIC)

Of the 12 cards I own, these are the only two cards that can hit 2250Mhz on the memory and run stable while dual mining. After 90 minutes, I have 3 errors on 1 card, and 6 errors on the other according to HWInfo64, which is very acceptable.

Obviously much better power usage to performance on the Nitro+ RX570 cards, but these are the best RX580s I've worked with hands down.

Would you say the Blue Special Editions perform better than the regular Sapphire RX 580 8GB cards for mining? Thanks!

[daban]

With modded bios and the same strap i have quite stable rig with no errors(zero error) and no crashes.
Rest of My settings are like those differently :
Power limit -5%

-36mv(minus value)
-5% Power Limit(minus value)
1150Mhz Core
2250Mhz Memory

Epoch no 143
Result 27MH/s

Note: hashrate drop is because of AMD driver . It s been upcoming fixed driver soon hopefully

you have to make sure if your Memory is Samsung or Hynix.. My Sapphire RX 580 SE came with SAMSUNG memory and is hashing like a boss after mods.

[daban]

I check it hynix, when i try to mod it seemed half hynix and half samsung

Hi there,

Thanks for your suggestions and this mod rom. I also have two of Nitro+ RX80 SE with Hynix memory type. I just wanted to be sure that your modded rom and strap values are going to work on my GPUs as well. Or should I first make a copy of my card's bios and edited it to your suggested values?

You live under a rock? They already released the blockchain drivers.

[GryphoCry]

Yeah, here is the link for de AMD Driver to blockchain:

Hi,
when you said: Change third line of "Memory" section to "2000."

Can i change third line of Voltages Tab ?

I have: Mem controller VDDCI
- 300      1000
- 1000    1000
- 2000    1000 (This value to 2000)  

Thanks

Yes, I have 2 different memory types showing also (samsung & hynix) and cannot get any of my sapphire rx 580's 8gb Nitro + cards above 21mh ETH + 62mhz LBR (stock out of the box bios is 19eth and 57lbr) - I have tried many bios, manual mod, copy straps, everything - No need to try overclocking If I cannot even get the stock bios to hash higher ... dual memory is different with our cards reason for us having problems. I see a few other posts about this dual memory problem but no solutions yet.
 Also have 1 rx 480 8gb sapphire running on same rig  - mod strapped bios/samsung memory - the 480 is getting 23mhz ETH + 67 LBR ... outperforming each 580 --- talk about frustrating! lol

 

[sahbibenayed]

I have the same issue
RX580 8go SE with half Hynix half Samsung and 512kb rom

I can't reach > 25 mhs eth only

please help

With Windows 10 v1709 (Fall Creators Update), make sure you running the latest Crimson Relive 17.1x.x drivers with the 'compute' toggle on for each of the cards in AMD settings or the AMD blockchain drivers in Windows v1703. I have the same cards with the same dual Bios and get 31+ MH/s dual mining with DCR 875 MH/s with a core clock 1200 MHz memory clock 2100 MHz. I use the Polaris Bios Editor v1.6.2 'one click timing patch'. It automatically detects each memory type and adjusts the 1750 MHz and up straps with the bundled performance straps. PBE v1.6.3 and up adjusts the straps from 1500 MHz and up, but the 1750 MHz straps are more stable.
