I recently got the rx 580 sapphire nitro se there is a bios switch in the back and online it says there is a gaming and a silent mode.
Sapphire rx 580 bios switch.
Sadly i switched it while handling the card and now i don t know which position is which.
The switch only changes the bios.
Is the performance switch the one closer to the hdmi port.
Speaking of visual aspects the most obvious difference in comparison with the nitro rx 480 is the rx 580 s unique design with a gunmetal gray shroud that looks incredibly good.
I didn t know there were any midrange cards that had it.
Image i have a sapphire nitro rx 570 i have a switch button on it its written bios switch waths for.
I find the idea of dual bios on an rx580 kind of funny.
Generally speaking with dual bios cards.
In this third part of our sapphire how to series we want to shed some light on the dual bios feature present mainly in the nitro gaming series.
I tried both but the frequency didn t change.
Default position is stock it has slightly lower clocks and more conservative fan curves while the second bios usually allows the card to have more juice.
