   Hi Poision:
   This is simply my experiences with using AMD cards and reading just how much you have to do with them to get the most out. I blew about $800 on two rx580's to find that unless I reflash the roms they perform dismal. Add to that the power draw and I really see no gains there. Yes you can definitely get higher hash rates with them but at what costs?
   I am one to look to the KISS formula and makes my life run much smoother for sure.  I am retiring my two cards to video use only and replacing them with 1070's as can. That board will handle 6 cards and is supported by NVOC so why fight with all the drivers that don't work right.  On that note, I have had some issues with the latest Nvidia drivers too. But with 2.0 upgrade, that vanished and I have  6 soon to be 7 miners up and rocking. One with the old 1050's as well.
