    I would like to hear experiences  from the people who are using RX 580 cards regarding power consumption.
     I'v made some tests and i was quite surprised to see that they are drawing much more power than RX 480 series.
    Cards which I used in this test are Sapphire RX 580 Nitro Pulse (4GB). I got following results measured on the wall:
    All tests are done with cor  1180 mem 2020
    For this test I'v used  Asrock Pro BTC 2.0 with Celeron CPU and 4 GB RAM on ethos with Enermax Platimax 1700 PSU.
    Claymore 9.3
    ETH only  = 1200 W
    ETH+ DCR (ASM 0) = 1487 W
    ETH +DCR (ASM 1) = 1540 W

    Just for comparison same motherboard and PSU with RX 480 Nitro OC + (8GB)
    ETH only = 998 W
    ETH +DCR (ASM 0) = 1150 W
    ETH + DCR (ASM 1) = 1200 W
    Hashrate for both 480 and 580 is almost the same or withing 2% range (statistical error) in favor of 580.
    All this leads me to the conclusion that 580 card are wasting around 20% more power than 480 series.
    Also with undervolting cards for 75mV I was able to reduce power usage of whole rig for about 40W.
    Can someone confirm my measurements and compare them with theirs.
