Title: Re: r9 280x eth mining Post by: reb0rn21 on July 06, 2016, 12:42:30 PM 79xx and 280x are 384bit memory interface so memory speed has very little influence with ethereum
Tonga 380, 480 etc have 256bit interface and there memory need more speed to get more hashes/s Title: Re: r9 280x eth mining Post by: kotarius on July 14, 2016, 04:08:30 AM For r9 280x, I would set overclock to 1100 and powertune to 20.

You can however mine things like ubiq, Ella etc tha have low dag but you have to have free or extremely cheap electricity. Best bet, sell them for 40-50 bucks, but your coin of choice and wait for it to go up. Title: Re: r9 280x eth mining Post by: adaseb on July 08, 2019, 06:08:26 AM This thread sure brings back memories. At first I was confused why are people trying to mine ETH with an R9 280X but then I checked the date.
Back in 2016 you could mine ETH at around 20MH/s however as the Epoch DAG grew it slowed down more and more. I think about a year ago when I last tried mining ETH, it ran at maybe 8MH/s and consumed maybe 200 Watts. So very unprofitable. AMD never issued a fix for the DAG issue unlike the Polaris GPUs (RX 470/570) so many of them were just powered off and sold to gamers. The same issue is happening with the R9 290 which can still mine ETH due to its 4GB of memory but the DAG slowdown, makes its very unprofitable. Basically like the above poster said, just sell for $40 and get an Rx 470.

Title: Re: r9 280x eth mining Post by: swogerino on July 13, 2019, 06:55:08 AM The speed is good for cards that are a few years old now.These cards consume more energy than the newer ones and with the actual mining performance you don't get a lot of profit if any at all.
If you are mining to keep the rewards and to wait when the price will be even higher than it is now that is a good thing to do.

You said you got 7850 running at 13MH/s, since every 7850 has max 2GB of ram you most likely are mining some extremely low DAG coin like Expanse. So with DAG #0, an R9 280X can mine at 27MH/s and an R9 290 can mine at 31MH/s. I know because it was there when ETH had low DAG numbers. However you can't mine ETH with an R9 290 at 30MH/s anymore, because sometime last year when the DAG increased the speed slowed down and you get like 15MH/s or less with the R9 290. With the Pitcairns or Tahiti's you can't even mine ETH. You can mine those other coins but their profitability is way low. And ETH profitability is not that great either. So no point in using those GPUs. Just sell to gamers instead and get a cheap RX 470.

If you add these 3 things then you can still create a mini farm. And about one card is childish pranks
Title: Re: r9 280x eth mining Post by: bassistas on August 07, 2019, 11:45:18 PM Guys anyone knows how to set the DPM on HiveOS for r9 290/390 GPUs? I have overclocked the cards from bios but the OS doesn't pick the highest GPU frequency. I tried with the wolfamdctrl command but it says: Specified core state does not exist. Is it ok to modify again the bios with the same frequency on all states and the same voltage to bypass the bug from the HiveOS? or the card will get damaged?

Is it ok to modify again the bios with the same frequency on all states and the same voltage to bypass the bug from the HiveOS? or the card will get damaged? If the Hawaii is similiar to the Tahiti's then the reason why you aren't getting the highest GPU frequency is because the DPM states need to go from the lowest to highest in frequency. They need to be in order like 300Mhz,500Mhz,800Mhz, 947Mhz, 1000Mhz, 1050Mhz, etc. You can't do something like 300Mhz, 500Mhz, 800Mhz, 1000Mhz, 1050Mhz, 947Mhz, because you will run into issues that way. What software are you using to modify your BIOS? I remember with the Hawaii GPUs, I didn't have issues with the clockrates but I had issues with the fan speeds. I could never get them to automatically set but had to manually set the fan speeds because modifying the bios didn't do anything. Title: Re: r9 280x eth mining Post by: Tiky-turbo on August 08, 2019, 06:51:56 AM r9 290/390 give 29-30 mh/s while mining on Ubuntu. For a serious increase in performance, you have to use Ubuntu version no higher than 16.04 (with new Ubuntu kernels these cards have poor compatibility). You have to install driver version 17.40 and AMD SDK kit. Switching to Linux-like OS gives additional 10 mh/s (50%). There is a guide how to do it (in Russian): https://www.cryptoprofi.info/?p=3313. Ubuntu will be useful for mining on all old cards including R9 280, 290, 295 and 390. Yes, I tested and it works with R9 290 and also R9 280x. Higher hashrate also gives higher power consumption... I used google translate to translate guide to English...

I could never get them to automatically set but had to manually set the fan speeds because modifying the bios didn't do anything. edit: also to change DPM on a per-card basis on SMOS, you need to use ssh and unless you want to su to root, make a .sh file containing something like "echo "7" > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_dpm_sclk " that will set a DPM level of 7 to the second card in the system,as the first card is card0. needs to be a .sh file run with sudo because the ">" happens to break sudo, applying to echo but not opening of the "file" so it can't write to it, while making it a .sh file to run has sudo apply to everything in it. I currently don't have a refresh of the GCN1 cards to test how their powerplay settings are in vbios. my 7850 doesn't seem to really have a full DPM profile in the vbios and I can only set maximums, which it runs at by default so I don't know how 270(x) or 280(x)s would behave in that regard. Also, sorry if I ramble a bit too much. Title: Re: r9 280x eth mining Post by: Fanpant on August 12, 2019, 02:13:47 PM Guys anyone knows how to set the DPM on HiveOS for r9 290/390 GPUs?

I changed memory frequency from 1125 to 1250MHz, do not see any hash rate increase.

The R9 290 from what I recall didn't make any speed increases by changing the memory clock or even strapping the memory. I remember I had bad luck with trying to strap those. Because a little change would cause the entire system to hang and you had to pretty much do a cold power cycle. So I just left it the way it was. Changing the memory had little effect... all it did was cause freezing with no advantages. The only way to get faster speeds was the actual engine core. But you couldn't go too much because it would eat 300 Watts of power. Title: Re: r9 280x eth mining Post by: arielbit on August 01, 2022, 07:49:02 PM cleaning up some of my storage stuff.
played with two 280x sapphires. both burned something in the board, lighted and smoked....aaand it both runs. 4 screws, you clean and you are good to go...with just 4 SCREWS! edit: my bad, should be in the "AMD Tahiti GPUs (Radeon 7950 / 7970 / 280X / 7990 ) Owners Appreciation Thread" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4740661.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4740661.0) |
