Hello to everybody,
480 4G card are available for 200 euro (Sapphire Nitro Radeon RX 480 OC 4GB GDDR5), i wish to know a few things before buy...

Polaris 480 cards work with 15.12 drivers? If the answer is no, there is a drivers that works with both 280x and 480? Wich one?

Anyone have mixed system working with claymore ethminer?


For polaris bios, the mem strap trick is the same as 280x?, just copy mem timings straps to lower MHz set?

Any help or comment would be appreciated.

I have a mixed 28nm GPU RIG and I've had problems mixing Tahiti and Fiji before. AMD drivers are different for those chips.

I'm pretty sure they are different between 28nm and the new 14nm cards too.

You cam mix 280 with 470/80 GPUs without a problem.
I have such a rig windows 7, AMD driver 16.10.2, tested with ZEC, Monero and Pascal mining without a problem
Good Luck
