Title: Most Efficient Z-Coin mining - RX460
Post by: mewhoyou on November 27, 2016, 08:43:17 AM
I am running

2 RX 460 on board which gets me 200 H/s. Each card are utilizing 40w with a total of 240w for my entire system. That i feel is the most Efficient and yet most quiet card Ever! I can barely hear the card's fan with an average of 55c in an 30c environment.

Requires twice more PCI-E slots and consumes twice more space

Did you measure this at the wall ?

yeah it was via the wall...

This is currently running in my bedroom so it is the best option possible... when I was running dual 480 my wife threaten to throw me and the miner out the room ... :)

Was it a reference 480? Because most 480 are silent.

470 pulls around 100 total and gets close to 200. Yes that makes the 460 look more efficient but you will have to build more rigs to hold the same amount of hashing power. This becomes more expensive as you have to buy CPU, Memory MB PSU for each one. 470 or 480 is a better choice for that reason alone.

palit gtx1070 240sols with 160watt - but nicehash only ))
very cold and silent
expensive ))

rx470 4gb with current available miner cannot do 200sols@100watt. No way!
rx470 with samsung 8gb ram - maybe - but with extreme luck if you find chip that can do 1300mhz@0.9v ))

2xRX470 are doing 340sols@290W at wall, so I'm not sure if 460 is most effective.

The efficency will be identical to any 470/480 since its the same generation.

I have 3x470@300w at the wall, whole system. 510 sol .

Meh, all my 8Gbs do 165, the 4Gb are close at 150. 200 sols may be possible if you overclock like crazy, but that means you would have free juice.

Hi Folks,

comparing prices and hash-rates, I do believe RX470/4 is the best bang for the buck (in Europe).

my rx470 with samsung 8gb ram = 197-199 Sol/s (Win7x64, last driwers, Claymore v8.0, OC 1360/2100, avr 125W)
