So my Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 Limited Edition cards came in today, so I ran some benchmarks.
I first tried to find the highest error free memory clock for each memory strap and chose one that performs the best.
I followed this up by downclocking the core until the mining performance was noticeably affected if I'd gone further.
I then proceeded to reduce voltages as much as possible.
The trials and results can be found here:

After 1 hour, the card remained at 42 Celsius in a 72 Fahrenheit ambient room using only 40% fan speed. If power isnt an issue, the 1450 stock clock at 1.125V which can go higher would do great for dual-mining.

UPDATE:
After additional strap tweaking, I've gotten to 30.5Mh/s Eth. The card can dual mine 1450 Mh/s Dcr with no power limit, however by balancing power to hashrate, I get 1130 Mh/s Dcr (w/ 30.5 Mh/s Eth) @ 125W
UPDATE2:
The Nitro+ RX580 seems perfectly happy to run on just a single 8-pin power connector.
However from my tests, this reduced hashrates by 1% and power consumption by 1% consistently The 1% drop seems to only have been temporary.
how u make 29 mhs with 77 wats ? this what i read u stip clock what u mind u coppy from 1500 to all other up or what ? .. can u please explain this ? i will use this card to mine eth single so if u can help reduce power
