XFX RX 580 GTS black edition

Hi,

 

I've been using the Rx580 from XFX for the last year or so but till today I've been searching for the answer to the dual bios problem. I'm eager to know which bios should I be using for gaming and general overclocking as I guess the other bios mode is for mining. I've been keeping the switch away from the power connectors but unsure which bios is for which. 

 

I'll be more than happy if someone lets me know which bios does what and which one should I pick for my usecase. Thank you :D 

 

This is my card model :

Hi, Thanks for your time 

But the card was designed as one bios being for mining and the other for general gaming and usage as its mentioned in the page of the card (the link I attached at the bottom). So do I just use any?

You should be fine with either as they're just using the card with different clocks and fan curves however I'd consult the manual to be sure.

It is said that an Italian dies every time Spaghetti is broken.

That's why I break mine twice.
