Sapphire Rx 580 Bios Switch

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.

Sapphire rx 580 bios switch.

Users are able to switch between two modes quiet and performance the first one has a lower clock rate and allows to optimize the fan curve settings. Image i have a sapphire nitro rx 570 i have a switch button on it its written bios switch waths for. 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. 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. 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. Is the performance switch the one closer to the hdmi port. Generally speaking with dual bios cards.

I didn t know there were any midrange cards that had it. The sapphire nitro rx 580 limited edition is based on the company s custom pcb designed specifically for this card. The switch only changes the bios.
