Since theres not much info about this GPU, lets post various coin/algorithm hashrates here:

ETH: 15.5 MH/s with Claymore 9.7, ETH only
ZEC: 110 H/s with claymore 12.5 Zcash miner, raised to 158 on Claymore 12.6
MONERO: 459 h/s claymore cryptonote miner 9.7 beta
ETH/DCR dual mining with Claymore 9.7: 15MH/s ETH, 298MH/s DCR
ETH/SIA dual mining with Claymore 9.7: 14.9MH/s ETH, 198Mh/s SIA

decred with sgminer: 444MH/s
cryptonight with sgminer: 500h/s (so preferable instead claymore cryptonight)

Signatum (skunkhash) with official sgminer 8.3MH/s
Signatum (skunkhash) with prospector0.9.6MH/s

SIA only with propspector 0.10   485MH/s

kawpow 6.5 MH/s at 1150/1850 hynix...so probably 7-8MH/s with micron

Edit (micron memory only):

16.3 MH/s ETH with Claymore 10.0
493 H/s monero with Claymore 10.2


Monacoin: 16.1MH/s   lyra2rev2 algorithm


Calculator for popular coins:

Power consumption (out of the wall):

ethash: 55W
cryptonight: 35W

Can someone try currencies supported by sgminer?
I tried it from nicehash benchmark, but it crashes my PC

Which card? Are they stable?

I have Sapphire 560 4GB OC (with the 6 pin power, Micron Memory), can only get close to 14MH with them.

Gigabyte with micron memory

Congratulations, really good hashrate!  ;)
Need to learn how to modify mine even better.

Did you try my bios?

Can you share your BIOS and overclock settings please?

https://anorak.tech/t/rx-560-4gb-on-eth/7493/136?u=branko

decred with sgminer: 444MH/s
cryptonight with sgminer: 500h/s (so preferable instead claymore cryptonight)

how many watt at wall?
thanks

This is the pretty much ideal setup I believe.

Well people claim higher MH/s, but those who bought those bioses
say its with lots of memory errors...I don't like it, so I always
shoot for best setup with no errors at all

My biggest surprise is that rx 470/480/570/580 owners try to avoid
Micron memory, yet between Micron and Hynix I had much more luck with Micron

ZEC raised to 158 on Claymore 12.6

Pretty healthy increase

Signatum (skunkhash) with official sgminer 8.3MH/s

wow thats not bad for this card 15,5 MH/S ...
maybe this is worth a thought.
How much power does it draw ?

Thank you . please can you attach your bios file here without external link .
Gigabyte RX560
thank you

8.85MH/s signatum with prospector miner

and myr-groestl ? how much ? :)

This was meant as place where people would contribute their rates, so please go test and tell us...
I'm currently reading micron documentation hoping to reach that mythical 16MH/s ETH :)

ETH 15.8 with micron memory, claymore 9.8 and latest DAG fix driver

It's a very good hashrate for the price
But what the consumption on the wall?

I think's it's the most important thing

GPU-Z says 18W, but its probably a lot more

Yes, GPU only show the core watts, bur there is more from memory, fans...

Anyone?

Maybe I'll buy one to test

Good hashrate for ethereum however if this card is 4GB version which I believe it is as the 2GB version can't mine ethereum, in zcash is quite behind. The 1050 ti which has the same price and it is the direct competition can give me 181-189 sols with EBWF cuda miner , but that maybe is because zcash is more a nvidia coin friendly. Still almost 160 sols its good to a certain degree.

Yes 4gb, and has to be micron memory. Zcash is totally Nvidia area, usually more profitable than ETH on Nvidias

eth 15.1 micron

Good day to all, I have used these cards in my rig, I bought for the price, but the performance leaves something to be desired. Turn off all because I noticed that the consumption was superior to the profit. Minimizing zcash the 5 cards made 760 h / s consuming $ 8 per day in energy, today I am already with 3 R9 390 tri x they make 1,3k / h and consume $ 1.8 per day . I use a meter of consumption in the outlet and I advise to all that they can use.

Its indeed not quite good for zcash mining, however your numbers about power consumption are laughable

But for which currency can I avail these cards?
Rx 560 2G and rx 560 4Ga energy was calculated with a power meter. In this calculation is everything, fans, etc. :-\

By your calculation it seems that each of your RX560 uses 3 times more power than R9 390, when in reality
R9 390 uses about 5 times more power than RX560...so your calculation is 15 times off (wrong)

I mean, there must be reason why 390s have two additional power connectors, while most of 560s come with none, right?

As for which coin to mine, ETH is still ebst for 4GB cards and EXP, UBIQ, Musicoin and similar
eth-based (buw lower DAG) coins are the best...plus maybe Signatum if you believe in it

SIA only with prospector 0.10   485MH/s

(so not really worth it, but you never know...)

Took me a while, but here it is:

Thank you . please . i have Gigabyte RX560 4G . with micron memory .
but i can't get more thane 13.4 MH ETH . with claymore 9.8
please can you share your bios and overclock setting .
thank you .
I'm sorry for my English language

Well, you can see clocks in picture, but unfortunately
I'm selling that bios.


Fortunately, for only 0.1ETH

Thank you

What hashrates are you guys getting on Cryptonight?

You can expect 400-470 on claymore, depending on memory type and graphic card quality

That seems VERY high!!! I have the same card mining XMR with exactly the same Claymore...and I don't get more than 330 h/s....

Is this modded?  Overclocked?

I guess bouth.

Both

Is there a difference (in hash) between power and non-power connectors Rx560?

Those are some great results on the 560 man!!!  Can you share your specs?

For testing purposes, I actually hit 471 stable, with 1300 core, 2240 memory...few hours, since I don't mine monero

From log:

"17:58:11:957   bf0   GPU 1: HashCnt = 512, time = 1086 ms, hashrate = 471 h/s
17:58:11:967   bf0   Round
17:58:13:074   28a8   GPU 1: HashCnt = 512, time = 1087 ms, hashrate = 471 h/s
17:58:13:087   28a8   Round"

Hey, nobody knows about the consumption?

With same memory and cooling, there should not be.

However, some testing recently make me think that those cards could maybe
hit power wall and crash not because of memory OC, but because of power consumption.
Previously I thought GPU consumes much more than memory, but on these low GPU power cards,
memory actually consumes big part, probably even more than core...so I would definitely not
dual mine on them...either use algoritm that taxes memory, or one that taxes GPU, but not both



Bought one of those powermeters from ebay, its on its way from China, if noone answers before, I will in a few days :)

OK looks interesting...

How much did you overclock these by?
What mod specs did you use to mod these cards?

I don't have any clear numbers right now outside of the fact that is well below 100...I'll be looking at it in the coming days and post some info when I have it

I wrote in previous post, 1300 core, 2240 memory :)

Used my own bios mod made for mining ethereum, didn't experiment
much with monero, it would probably work well with lower frequencies too,
this was just exercise :)

Thank you for the answer, Branko

Thank you, i'll wait

oh that one is awesome from them

About 95W at that extreme 1300/2250 overclock, about 65W with 1100/2250 and 900mV core, but
keep in mind I have inefficient bronze rated PSU...some gold or platinum one would probably draw less

That is single coin, dual mining adds around 20W

Overall, not that good compared to Nvidia 1060, but I didn't play with voltages much, maybe that will
be next stage for me :)

Hey Brako .. first of all thanks for your contribution to the community you doing awesome job here.

I have a request,im thinking about buying XFX RX 460 Double Dissipation OC 4GB Cards ..

can you unlock shaders to 1024 and apply your mining mod to them ? i can pay you 0.1 ETH for that.

thanks in advance.

mod yes...unlocking...you never know in advance

Yesterday did it for another forum user, exactly xfx 460 with micron memory, he got
15.x with dual mining...which sounds very good for card even weaker than rx560

why i never know in advance ? do you mean unlocking shader mod is not applicable at all cards or don't you know how to do it properly ?

Not all rx460 can be unlocked...or at least thats what I read on forums, so far all that I tried succeeded, although that wasn't too many of them

maybe people just didn't know how to do it

after little research i found this

http://overclocking.guide/amd-radeon-rx-460-unlocking-1024-stream-processors/
https://overclocking.guide/download/xfx-rx-460-double-dissipation-4gb-unlocked-bios/

what do you thinking now ?? i guess it will probably work ..

I'm doing 530h/s on cryptonight using rx 560 2gb :)

yatta I'm doing 530h/s on cryptonight using rx 560 2gb
yatta hello, tell me what kind of card you have and the manufacturer. I want to buy 560 but I do not know which manufacturer. The result on which miner and what characteristics of overclocking! Thank you in advance!

Very nice hashrate but some seems electric value high and can graphic card more tired seems

That was done in a rush, just to be sure low core speed doesn't hamper result...power consumption can go way lower,
I can do it if you want to see it :)

What new version?

This card seems very weak. I just got rid of my rx480s, going to nvidia.

ps
Branko, you from ex-yu? :)

Croatia...and here you can buy THREE RX560 for the price of one RX480, so despite
been weak, it has better ROI

I hope you like this new improved version :)

https://i.imgur.com/nH9eXir.png

This is a good result. You look at rates RX and RX 560 580 they differ in 3 times. I have RX 580 which operate at speeds of 30 Mh/s. From the point of view of mathematics 14 times 3 = 42 Mh/s. It turns out that if you buy RX 560 lecture more return on the money invested.

Where is your ultra-mega-turbo-blaster-lastest improved version? :D

On my PC?

But I already stated elsewhere that its only for this card

https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-RX560GAMING-OC-4GD-rev-10#kf

and slightly modified (nothing special, just put high quality thermal paste on GPU and memory instead
garbage Gigabyte put there)

All other micron based RX560s can expect 14.5-15.5MH/s depending if they have additional power connector, and how
good is their cooling)

I'll try to get 16.5+ stable soon, just for fun :)

Just copy 1650 strap to higher frequencies?

I'm using a strap based on 1650 strap plus 0 Tfaw, 0 Tfaw32 and 18 ACTRD. But I have a 460 with 560 bios. I can only hit 436H/s at 38W (GPU-Z measure) 1150/2030. What detailed settings are you using?

No, just to last one...and theres no 1650 strap on RX560 micron :)

My bad  :P

1625, in the case

Which rx560 cards are the best I was looking and thinking of getting sapphire rx 560 but wasn't sure how good these cards perform I know it's not a 570 or 580 can anyone tell me what the hashrate for other algo's are if you don't mind me asking

This Gigabyte card (version with micron memory, hynix version sucks) is THE best



https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-RX560GAMING-OC-4GD-rev-10#kf

(must be rev 1.0, rev 2.0 is worse)

hashrates you can checkin this same thread, read from beginning :)

Hi,
I made a mod of my Saphire Pulse Radeon RX 560 with 4 GB Micron memory.

ETH: ~15 MHz      
XMR: ~435 h/s

temperatur less than 60 degree and low power consumption !

R0land trying to get you to Download an .exe not a bios in the above link..

It seems like rx560 is quite good in performing cryptonote algorithm compared to other gpu with same pricing range.

Sorry,
but i only upload my ROM, no exe-File !   ???
The file-hoster (file-upload.net) is realy bad. >:(

I think the RX 550 is also quite good in performing XMR ... more than 400 h/s with less power consumption compared to the RX 560.

OK I have decided to reveal my custom made straps. Each of those costed hundred of tests and 30-40 hours of work easily. Could  be that I'm just to stupid to make it faster :)

Micron is doing 15 mhs
Hynix close to 15 mhs
Samsung 14.5 mhs

p.s. the straps will work either for 460 or 560 gpus.

p.s.2 I also got some nice straps for 470/570. If interested please pm me.

Thank you  :)
How fast was the core and mem speed to reach 15 mh/s?

thank you for sharing.
I'm not expert, so is it save to use the hynix on all memory that is from hynix, same question for micron and samsung, as long it's the correct manufacturer?

Core - 1150
Memory - 2050

Manufacturer ain't important, model ain't important. But as you said hynix are for hynix, samsung for samsung etc.

ok, but then why different straps for 470/570 if it's all the same hynix on them (460/560/470/570/480/580)?
what memvoltage do you suggest for the different manufactueres?

I hope not to annoy you with asking this, but I'm sure many would like to understand, not only me.

Your micron:
777000000000000022AA1C0073626C41B0551016BA0D260B0060E60004061420EA8940AA030000001914292EB22E3B16
stock micron 1625:
777000000000000022AA1C0073626C41B0551016BA0D260B006AE60004061420EA8940AA030000001914292EB22E3B16

Full custom strap  :D

Well something is changed so in theory it IS custom, just no idea why 100s of hours and reflashes were needed to come to that :)


On serious side, micron original straps are already pretty good, unlike Hynix

What are the chances you would guess that only so small change increase hashrate that much? Can you do better? Prove it.

I make a custom strap so it works stable and gives best possible hashrate and not modify as much as possible and pray for best.

I do not have to prove anything. But... in another topic I have shown stable 16+ Branko saw. If you insert something. Show it works.

You don't have to prove anything and I have to. Good thinking.
If you don't like it don't use it as simple as that.

is it true? as i know, rx 550 only do 200 h/s

easly over 400 h/s

I have a mining rig with 6x RX550 and the hole system runs with 1875 h/s and needs 340W (hole system)

It´s realy mysterious, but it´s true. The cryptonight algorithm hashrate is the same on R7 370(16 Core, 256bit),RX 550(8 Core, 128bit) and RX 560(16 Core, 128Bit). ???

What´s the model and memory type ... maybe i can upload a rom  :) .

Added monacoin to first post...seems like most rewarding option atm for these cards,
specially if you have slower cards with hynix memory, as you can see here

After some longer run of mkxminer, RX560 performance settled at 16.1 at default core speed...easily
most profitable coin seems to be monacoin (at least at the moment)

It seems Electroneum is more profitable for this card if it's 450 h/sec .. more profitable than monacoin

Indeed...crazy how fast things change these days...electroneum went up and monacoin went down in a day, and here we go...too bad ETN
is listed on crappy exchanges only :(

Added RX560 calculator for all popular algos in the first post, so you can
easily choose coin to mine with your lovely RX560s for that day :)

Edit: I must add I'm surprised how much you can mine with one
RX560 these days

Thanks for this thread! 

I might pick up 3-4 of these soon if I can get them cheap enough  ;D

Hello!
Can I use this Bios mod for XFX RX560 4gb single fan model as well? It also has Micron memory and I'm getting only 320H/s on cryptonight stock.

You should get at least 450

Which clock/volt settings did you use to get that hashrate, Branko?

Tnx, Tobias

It was long ago, and I used Nicehash benchmark, never used standalone version
of that miner, so take it with a grain of salt

Bummer ... I'm not getting over 400h/s (around 300 with standard clock rates) with sg-miner and xmr-strak on my ASUS RX560 Strix 4GB OC (Hynix) ... the various Claymores variants (except the ETH version) don't want to run on my Win10 machine, so I can't cross check.

I'm getting 14.5 MH/s for ETH with 1100/2050, so the straps I use seem not perfect but OK.

Are you sure you can get more that 400h/s on 550? It seems it's also difficult for 560 to hit 400h/s. For a 550 it looks like a miracle.

Hi guys, since there are not so many info about this card all around I also landed here in this thread.
I'm looking for the best CryptoNight card for my next mining rigs.
Considering the hashrate compared to the power consumption and not last the price of the card it seems the RX 560 is one of the best candidate.
But reading all the posts here it seems that only the cards with Micro memory are hitting and passing the 400h/s on CriptoNight.
So having to buy about a dozen of cards I don't want to risk to be wrong.
My question is: is there a way to know which cards will come with Micro memory?
Is the model enough? I could read here that just a model of Gigabyte (moreover just the r1.0) comes with Micro mem.
Can anybody drive me in the right direction to get the right cards?

I read above someone is also getting wonderful results with 550 on XMR. But reading a bit around it seems that 550 (on stock) is getting around 250h/s. So 400h/s looks a bit far target to reach. Can anybody clarify me?

Thank you very much in advance for your precious attention.

I have 4 x RX550 with 4 GB runing @415h/s and 1 x RX550 2GB running @405h/s.
0 Errors in HWInfo64 running since 4 Weeks.
Very low Power consumption, better than RX560 !

I modded the memory straps in the VBIOS, like all other cards.

It works since 4 weeks without problems at my home.  ;D
The RX550 is the perfect gpu for mining xmr, because cryptonight charges the memory and 8 gpu cores are enough for the rest. The bottleneck is the memory.

Hey even i am using this RX 560 in my system, and other components are also using higher versions.

my question is how many coins I can mine with this GPU (only 1 pc)

and which coin is worth to mine with this GPU

can anyone help me?

ETH/Lib 12Mh / 30MH.
XMR 330H

Nicehash, so latest claymore

I have 2 x MIS 560s 4Gb Hynix.
No additional PCIe power required on these, which is often handy but limits the cards.
1500 to 1750 strap. Running at 1750 memory. 1500 timings don't work above 1750, Can get to 2000 mem at 1750 timings, but only just gets back up to the same performance as the 1750mem running at 1500 strap, but with more W and heat.   

Core at stock (make no difference) BlockChain drivers, win 10 64,

Thank you very much R0land,
I'll give it a shot since it's still possible to find these 550 on the market and at a cheap price...
The problem is to find the ones that use Micron memory.
Are your 550s based on Micron memory or what?

Can you please tell me at what core and memory frequencies the best values are obtained for equihash? Interested in ZEC and forks. Is it worth it to flash BIOS for new straps?

It looks like it can be a good option to mine monero with a cheap and energy efficient 560. I am a bit out of mining now, but I may try later on.

are these cards still profitable to mine with? seems like thse cards doing well on cryptonight algo

What brand is your rx 550?

MSI 560 4GB ITX Hynix
Strap 999000000000000022AA9C0073E66C448055131243CFB60D00408400750514204A8900A00200000 014112E34DB324418
Used for 1750 to 2250.
Core -7.5%
Mem 2200

Eth 16Mh
Cryptonight 440H


Cant find who posted the handmade straps, but it works an absolute treat.

You're probably lucky and got better than usual 1500MHz memory that usually come with Hynix RX560s...my Gigabyte cards
can't reach 2200MHz even with default factory straps

Saphire Pulse Radeon RX550 4GB Micron Memory

Hmm... I picked up an XfX RX 560 from Best Buy this weekend mainly because it was the only halfway decent card in stock, but reading through this thread it seems it may not have been such a bad impulse buy.

Are there any good straps specifically for Cryptonight, or are they mainly geared towards Ethash? I know there is some overlap in the requirements between the two, but Cryptonight generally likes more core clock than Ethash.

How about just doing the one-click optimization in Polaris BIOS Editor?

Can't harm, for the most part, except if you got one of new cards that have 1500 strap as the last one, instead usual 2000 or 2250

As in, 1500 is the highest strap, or the 1500 strap has already been copied to the higher clocks (ie - it's already optimized)?

FWIW, here is the product page: http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/amd-radeon-rx-500-series/rx-560-4gb-sf-rx-560p4sfgr (http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/amd-radeon-rx-500-series/rx-560-4gb-sf-rx-560p4sfgr)

I don't know where the get the "effective" memory rate of 7000MHz from... a combination of bus bit width and the usual double data rate factor or what?

One good thing is this appears to be the "real" RX 560 with 16 compute units and 1024 stream processors, rather than the cut-down version with 14/896.

 

Hello !

I am thinking of buying 3 cards 550 or 560, I see good results of hashes in cryptonight, however nobody puts the consumption on the wall, can someone give me real watt data on the wall for 550 or 560 and 400h / s?

Thank you all!

Hi R0land, I bought one of this to test 11268-03-20G (Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX550 2GB)
Unfortunately it came with Elpida memory: max hash 290-300 on CryptoNight with sgminer 5.5.5-gm stock bios
Do you know if it worth to mod bios with Elpida mem?
I don't know how to have RX 550 cards with Micron mem. It seems they are random...

With this card you can reach 410 h/s @18W(GPU-Z).
With the 4GB Micron Version 450 h/s @23W(GPU-Z).

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2200876.msg22348437#msg22348437

Thank you guys, I decided to give it a shot... and it seems that with the "lifting" to the timings and a boost to the mem freq the results are much better than the stock bios even for Elpida model.
I'm getting about 390h/s @1875MHz but I'm testing the stability since already @1900 I'm getting BSODs in a bunch of seconds.
Don't you know if it is recommended to increase the mem voltage to try to work @2000MHz? Because at stock voltage (1000mV) I think it will be hard for this card to go beyond 1875MHz.
I would also consider to decrease a bit the GPU frequency and voltage not to stress the card but I don't know if it will worth.

I didn't play with cryptonight too much lately...but I think memory frequency is less important than core frequency for this algo...or, at least,
much more important than for ethash

Playing a bit with rawintensity under sgminer I could hit and pass 400h/s stock volt, stock core clock, mem @1875 and card essentially cold: very satisfied!
Thank you!

I don't want to have headache playing with core and voltage. The card is almost cold under CryptoNight so I think I'll let it so.
Thank you.

At the price of 124 euro on Amazon was really good to buy... 12 of them are like 6x 580 same speed ethereum and 30% less power consumption

Guys, could you write your Sgminer settings? I have this:


 --remove-disabled --keccak-unroll 0 --hamsi-expand-big 4 --remove-disabled  --rawintensity 390 -w 8 -g 2

But I have problem when I raise rawintensity AMD drivers restarts..

I have Sapphire RX 560 4GB OC with micron memory and AMD drivers is 17.7.2.

Thank you!

What's your hashrate?

Did you try -w 8 -g 1 ?

then start from rawintensity 512 and decrese little by little untill to find the best hashrate

Does anyone have setup for xfx rx560 and which hashrate you've got on cryptnonight ?

Sorry, but the memory frequency (the memory speed) is very important for cryptonight.  The main loop is iterated 524,288 times with random read/write/aes/xor operations to the 2MB scratchpad.  :o
ethash is similar  ;) .

xfx rx560 2gb, 492 H/s, Elpida memory. 1950 MHZ memory, 900 mV. I have to lower clocks, for now 1295 MHz, 1100 mV. Using Claymore, have to try sgminer. My first mining gpu and first bios moding :) Bought this one for 115 €.

Is it possible to pull anything extra??

Sapphire Pulse Rx560oc - or rather 560D >.> 896 shaders boooo

Anyway yeah is it possible to pull better hashrates then stock i have been unable to find a working bios that works with my card and i have yet to switch over to the blockchain driver which will get it a minimal boost but is there anything else that can be done

Is there a strap that will work or a bios to unlock this sucker to a proper 560?

thanks

Straps — sure, there's a ton of them on the internet, just gotta try what's working for you (will depend on how much you can overclock your vram). At the moment I'm using
777000000000000022339D00CE515A3D9055111234CC440900400600740114206A8900A00200312 01E0F292F94273116 for Hynix and
777000000000000022AA1C00315A5436A0550F15B68C1506004082007C041420CA8980A9020004C 01712262B612B3715 for Micron.
There are probably better straps out there, these are just the best I've managed to find so far.

As for unlocking those extra cores, this worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6gah41/how_to_unlock_your_xfx_rx_460_single_slot_4g_by/
All it takes apparently is to change "70" to "6F" in the BIOS. My 560 14CU cards all got unlocked with this simple edit.

Of course, I didn't want to imply that its NOT important, just not as important as with ethash, where it almost doubles performance...here
you still gain 30-40%, but with ethash its 70-80%, and up to 100% on my insanely clocked RX560 Gigabyte :)


Added power consumption to first post

Wicked i've unlocked it without an issue thank you very much for supplying the post to follow to unlock my own bios :)
ill try the strapping you posted see how it goes for me :)

Is it possible to add the missing timing blocks to my bios or would that be impossible as i stop at 1500 block even with it unlocked i couldn't really take full advantage of it could i without having those extra timing blocks in place?

so 1050ti  or rx560   

Why would you need those "missing" blocks?  :) The way it works is that when you apply a particular set of timings for a particular clock it means that this set of timings is used at that clock and above. So when you've got lines in your bios for 1500, 1750, 2000 and 2250 (the way it is for rx 560 cards with hynix vram, for example), you can use one set of timings for any clock between 1500 and 1749, then another set for clocks in between 1750 and 1999, then yet another set for anything between 2000 and 2250, and finally another set for anything above 2250. If your last line in BIOS is the 1500 MHz strap, then all it means is that when you put a particular set of timings in there, those timings are applied at 1500 MHz and any clock above that. Having the max strap in the bios at only 1500 MHz makes no difference whatsoever, for mining purposes you usually just pick one set of timings and then try to find the highest memclock the card can work at. Just put the timings you want to use on that 1500 line and as long as your memory clock is 1500 MHz or anything above that — those timings will be used.

Ahh right right so im just being stupid in that case xD thanks for the info

Sadly using the unlocked bio's with the strap you provided i get 15.2mh but i get a crash after about 15 minutes badluck xD

however using the original bio's and the strap i get 14mh with my memory clock maxed out using the current up to date driver's

I'm currently using win7 is there a better driver to use without having to jump to win10 to use beta blockchain workloads aug11 driver i've seen floating around everywhere?

i have a rx460 with unlocked shaders so its basicly a rx560.
I see people posting here they get 500 hash on cryptonight, but i only get 300 hash.
i tried drivers 15.12 and 16.12 and 17.12.1.
What miner software is the best for this card on cryptonight?

Thank you

As with most AMD cards, flashing aggressive memory timings is the key, that's where most of the hashrate increase comes from. Provided you've done that, you'll want the "mining" drivers, which is either the blockchain beta (august 17), or any of the recent drivers with the "gpu workload" switch set to "compute" (i'm currently using the latest 18.1.something driver). And all the miner software is mostly the same, there's claymore, sgminer, xmr-stak and maybe xmrig, all doing very similar hashrates.

Thank you, i will look into how to flash agressive memory timings.
Good to see you are using one of the latest drivers, i will try that too then, i also didnt set it to compute.
I will post my results tomorrow.

ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 560 4GB OC GDDR5

SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 560 4GB GDDR5

Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 4GB OC GDDR5 (GV-RX560OC-4GD)



what the best of them

Depends what type of memory they use, you can search it up by model, altho im not sure if 1 model all cards use same memory.
Also what algorith you want to mine with it? I found out in this topic that rx550 does same hash as rx560 in cryptonight algorithm, with less power usage.

I am new and I have Gigabyte rx 560 4gb and I ordered 6 but only 1 came as samsung memory and 5 micron.
But the problem I am facing is that the Samsung memory has the memory timings 0:1500, 0:1625, 0:1750, 0:2000.
However, my micron memory has only up to 0:1500.

What am I doing wrong?
I got the bios from gpu-z directly.
https://ibb.co/bXPsMw
https://ibb.co/mALouG

Anybody please help me :)

How about you read previous posts on this page?

The blockchain drivers didnt work on my 7950´s, and on the andrenalin drivers only 30 hash, on 15.12 drivers i got 280h/s

What timings are you using to get 280 H/s? I don't think drivers matter all that much for cryptonight, it's essential to get ones with "dag fix" for Ethereum mining, but not that important for anything else.

All is the best
but, Asus ROG is my favorite

With compute workload you can set higher intensity and you will get slightly higher hashrate. But all my AMD still run on 17.6.2 drivers :D

About the memory straps, if you found a good strap for say ethhash, will this also usually be the best strap to mine for example cryptonight with it?

Not really, but they might be very good on both. However for the best performance you need timings optimized for XMR or ETH.

Ok, thank you.
I tried to edit my mem timings in Hex editor, but i cant figure out how to copy paste the new code into the old code, i have to type every digit 1 by 1 and its not working, brainexplosion, and im scared to brick my gpu it has no dual bios.

There's ~ a billion guides on how to edit and flash bioses for AMD cards out there. :) Plenty of software gui tools that allow easy copy/paste editing. Here's one such guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0

Hi, i really didn't want to look like some lazy guy, i've been figuring out how to do it all day ( litterly)
Read some russian tutorial and i feel like im close to succes, but i just cant figure out how to copy paste the desired numbers into the hex editor.
Thanks for you link, i'm gonna try that out tomorrow.

You'd need to use a hex editor for something like unlocking the 2 extra CU in the 14 CU version of RX 460/560, but for most other things (including voltages and timings editing) there are simple GUI programs that are very easy to use. At least that's the case for Polaris-based cards.

Ya im sorry i wasn't being precise, i have a rx460 that i flashed a bios on so the 2 extra cu's are already unlocked.
I think i will be able to mod the timings on the rx460 with that polaris bios editor, it looked easy

But i also have 2x 7950's, wich after i read this thread, i also wanted to mod the timings on, this is how i ended up with the hex editor.
I found a topic on some forum where someone explains hows to do it, im gonna try it tomorrow, aftwer that ill do my rx460, it only does 320h/s on cryptonight and i see people in this topic reporting 500 hash.

Im also wondering, in etherium you cant mine with rx460 2 gb, you need 2 gb, how is this for equihash? you mine faster with 4 gb vs 2 gb or it doesnt matter?
And for cryptonight? i heard cryptonight uses memory so does a rx560 4gb do more hash then a rx560 2gb?

Yep, I think there are no editors for Tahiti cards, so hex is probably the way to go.

Well, I don't think there's a lot of people out there hashing at 500 H/s with their 460/560 cards. It's certainly possible, but requires very good memory/timings, or serious overclocking. I've only built a couple rigs with these cards so far, and didn't do any fine-tuning, so could probably improve my results — at the moment my cards are hashing at ~ 420-425 H/s, all running at 1100/1750@0.875V. Cryptonight profits have gone down quite a lot, so I guess I'll be switching to ETH soon (where they do ~ 13 MH/s each).

If you mod the 7950 BIOS with a hexeditor, you nust recalculate the checksum of the BIOS !
I don´t know why, but the 2gb RX 560 version is faster in xmr, than the 4 GB version.
I also had unlocked the 2 extra CU´s from a RX560D ... it´s slower than before and need more power.  ???

you used a kill a watt from the wall for calculate exaclty the power consumption for

Was it this type H5GC8H24MJ? What timings are you using? Would you test my XMR timing for that?

If that's a question, then no, I didn't measure the power consumption yet, got only one of those killawatt devices and it's currently not at the same location as these rx560 rigs. I'm curious about the consumption myself so I'll try to measure it in ~ a week.

I've got the following cards (all 4gb): gigabyte oc rev 2 (single fan, 14 CU), gigabyte gaming oc rev 2 (dual fan, no aux power), msi aero, asus strix o4g (aux 6pin power), asus strix o4g evo (14 CU, no aux power), asus RX560-O4G. All 14 CU cards unlocked to 16 CU, and they all came with Micron VRAM (not sure which chips exactly, the bios says it's MT51J256M32HF_60S). All 16 CU cards came with Hynix VRAM. Two types of Hynix ram mentioned in the BIOSes —H5GQ8H24MJR and H5GC8H24MJR. Out of 16 cards I've got, the three Asus 16 CU cards are the worst (two Strix and one regular O4G): their stock memclock is 1750, but all three show memory errors in HWInfo even at this stock clock! And that's even with the stock timings. :( First time I see something like this. Tried to google this thing, found this thread: http://www.overclock.net/forum/67-amd-ati/1636308-problem-memory-rx560-cards.html
This could explain why I'm having this trouble with Asus cards, they probably installed cheap 6 GHz memory chips on their cards, but set the clock to 1750 MHz in BIOS.. which kinda works, but not really stable = producing memory errors in HWInfo. Lowered the clocks to 1600 MHz on these 3 cards for now, 0 errors so far.
For Micron cards I'm using this strap: 777000000000000022AA1C00315A5436A0550F15B68C1506004082007C041420CA8980A9020004C 01712262B612B3715
And for Hynix cards — this one: 777000000000000022339D00CE515A3D9055111234CC440900400600740114206A8900A00200312 01E0F292F94273116
Getting very similar hashrates with these. I could test some other timings.

Can I damage my gpu with memory errors? I get cca 40 of them in an hour. No rejected shares. It's Elpida memory.

I have this Memory on a AERO ITX 560 4G SK Hynix H5GQ8H24MJR
still testing but so far:
OC: CORE 1167 DPM 3 V925 MEM 2200 (I Have to set 925 for stability but an other card seems to be stable with 900)

Hash: 473H/s on Cryptonight ~ 28W on amd-info (use HiveOS) All machine (CPU/USB key/...) Less than 82W
Hash: 15.5MH/s on Ethash ~36W on amd-info All machine Less than 93W


 

Those are some nice numbers, i finally figured out how to edit the bios straps for my 7950's, and i did it, but tbh i dont notice much more hash/s.
i bios edited 2 saphire 7950's and the 3rd 7950, a club3d 7950 wich i didnt mod yet, actually does more hash.
2morrow im gonna try to biosmod my rx460

Hello! I finally found the owner of these cards in Linux :)
I am very happy. I ask you to share your bios for the results. Which miner you use and what settings? In ethOS my hash does not exceed 430 h/s.

What is the current speed for Equihash - stock and mod? I'm planning to order a Yeston videocard from China.

I will not share the bios because the timing is not public.
Using Claymore with option "-h 896"

On my lab is still not stable but one of my friend have this stable hash on 2 AERO ITX 560 4G SK Hynix H5GQ8H24MJR

I have an other bios stable ~ 450h/s still testing it for stability.

Hi, these 2 straps you posted for Hynix and Micron, i am now in the polaris editor in the timings section, but it shows streps for all different MHZ ranges, so in wich MHZ Range do i put the straps you posted, at 1500mhz?

Hi, I explained how it works on the previous page, just check the top post from page 8.

Thanks, i figured it out, my rx460 does 480hash on 1250/2000
my rx550 i get 340 hash with 1100/1500, on 1100/2000 it crashes, still have to try 1100/1750.
I think i will get the rx550 close to 400 hash with some more tweaking.

Is it a good idea to give it more voltage in the polaris bios editor for possibly more stability at higher overclocks?

What do you mean with  you cant share it its not public, you acting like its some kind of secret??

My msi rx460 2gb oc does 486hash stable btw, 1250/2000 clocks, and the hynix strap that was provided in this thread.

edit:

My rx550 saphire pulse 4 GB with micron memory sucks tho, modded timings and max overclock i still cant reach 400 hash, 380 hash max on 1150/1850

The Strap is from universal Hynix strap and  test by yourself, play with the strap, take a lot of times....
https://www.reddit.com/user/comradbud

Hello guys, in the telegram channel saw the message that RX 560 in Linux ubuntu using Optiminer 2.1.2 for mining MNX issues a hashrate in the vicinity of 8k sol. I copied this thoughtlessly to the forum, and now I am doubted whether such a hashrate is possible?

If its the same algo as equihash, then no, of course not. Not even close

By far

Well then i have a surprise for you, rx550 also does 400+ hash on cryptonight, with only 30 watts power usage.
But even rx550's are starting to get sold out here, and are already overpriced, if you can buy them for 80-90 euro, they are nice.
They also do 11.5mh/s in etherium with modded bios.

I also have this memory but on a Gigabyte RX560 OC 4G

What strap did you use? Would you mind sharing it? Also did you change the max mem clock setting?

With the strap i used, could only get to 13.5 stable.

I have 2GB XFX, in my country 115 eur,  mining expose: 14.5 MH/s, gpu 1150/950, mem elpida 1950/850. Solution to mine ethash algo with a cheap AMD card. You need to set -allcoins exp in claymore to use devfee DAG as expose

I just got an XFX RX 560 2GB and out of the box it did about 315 H/s on Cryptonight; after doing the one-click BIOS mod with PBE, flashing, pixel clock patching I am now doing 420 H/s without changing any of the MSI AB settings (currently at 1295 core, 1750 mem). Seemed good enough to order a 2nd, and if that one is also good then I'll fill out the rest of the 6 slots on my Onda D1800 with them and get better than a Vega 64 hashrate for about 1/2 the price. Oh, and you can actually buy it.

Hi, i have Sapphire rx550 pulse 4GB, it was 110euro.
Sadly i can only get mine to 380 hash so far, with edited bootstrap and overclock 1100-1850, i read other people got over 400 easily, and 11 mh on ethash.
my rx460 does 490h/s on cryptonight, but even with 380 hash the rx550 is still more power hash/watts then the rx460, my rx460 uses 45 watts and my rx550 27 watts.
But even rx550's are sold out here, or sellers that have them ask 130 euro already.
Yesterday i almost got one used for 30 euro, but som1 else got it before me.....rip

better option is to go for rx550's it turns out, they do 400 hash also with much less power consumption then the rx560.
I put a old custom gpu cooler on it, arctic accelero 2 ( it actually fits, while its for like 10 year old gpu's, the holes match) and it mines without a fan on 42C, its amazing, silent miner.
Oh ya they cost less too.
Sold out here already btw, rx560's been sold out since 3 weeks already. ( The Netherlands)

I

Interesting that the 550 is just as fast. Unfortunately, it is also just as expensive or even more so than the 560 on Newegg (at least it has been for the last few days). Secrets don't remain that way for long in the crypto-mining world, eh?

 ;D

I wouldn't buy 550s at all. Even 560s are really bad mining cards all things considered, the only reason I went for them is because 570/580 cards are ~ 3 times more expensive, and there are no affordable nvidia cards in stock anywhere (even 1050 Tis are usually $250+). Still, each slot costs something, and if you're building rigs with modern desktop hardware (z270 etc), it's at least $30 per slot (without PSU cost). Most likely even more, since all the popular z270 boards for 8-9 gpus are also either out of stock or very expensive. Pci-e splitters (1 pci-e x1 to 4 pci-e x1) are not very reliable and I eventually stopped using them, so for me it's 9 cards per rig at best (unless you buy one of those mining-specific boards, which are expensive and will lose most of their resale value if the whole crypto mining thing goes down). "Spending" a whole rig on just 9 of these weak cards is a waste already. And putting even weaker cards like 550s in it is definitely not something I'd go for, $/hash/effort just isn't there, and mining isn't that profitable anymore to do crazy stuff like this.

It's only as fast on cryptonight, but not on ETH.

Yep, that was my reasoning as well. I bought two Onda D1800 mining boards (6 full PCIe slots so no risers needed) last December planning to fill out one with GTX 1060s (succeeded) and the other with RX 570s (failed). After a few weeks of watching GPU prices go full retard I decided to buy an RX 560 from Best Buy because it was actually in stock, but after reading this thread I decided that $180 for an RX 560 was way too rich so I returned it unopened. A couple more weeks passed by and Newegg had an RX 560 in stock for $150 so I bought it because, well, the 2nd Onda isn't going to pay for itself just sitting in its anti-static bubble wrap. While the performance is by no means impressive, I do have enough Cryptonote coins in the queue that it can earn its keep mining them.

I haven't tried any other algos on this RX 560, but my original plan for the AMD rig was to mine Cryptonight, Ethash and Neoscrypt so I will be evaluating all of those algos and posting the results here. With only 2GB of VRAM, though, I won't be mining ETH with them; fortunately, my preferred Ethash coins are UBQ and MUSIC and their DAG files will remain under 2GB for most of this year, at least.

Thanks for your reply. And how much it produces on the algo equihash at least approximately to know what figures to operate on?

Read first post?

Well I've been screwing around with MSI AB and the amd.txt configuration file for xmr-stak to try to get this mythical 450 H/s or better from my XFX RX 560 but regardless of what I do I get 420 H/s at best after simply doing the PBE one-click BIOS mod... The stock and current settings for MSI AB and amd.txt follow:

MSI AB
--------
Core/Mem clock: 1295/1750 -> 1250/1900 (no effect)

amd.txt
---------
memory: 1356 -> 2048 (no effect)
intensity: 640 -> 720 in multiple steps divisible by 8 (no effect)
strided_index: true -> false (no effect)
worksize, affine_to_cpu were not changed

I did try searching for tuning/tweaking guides for xmr-stak but haven't come up with anything yet; if anyone can point me to a decent explanation of the above amd.txt settings I'll keep plugging away on this and report back whatever works best.

UPDATE - I gave up on tinkering with xmr-stak for now because I got sgminer 5.5.5 working and it is averaging about 460 H/s so far. I'm still curious about any tweaks to xmr-stak because it definitely performs the best for me in CPU mode; I just can't seem to eke out as good a performance from it with a GPU.

Can the rx560 do two threads like a vega?
Cheers,
J

In the miner config? Yeah sure.

I got a 2nd XFX RX 560 (2GB) running on my Onda D1800 and here's the relevant portion from the .conf file for SGMiner-GM 5.5.5 that gives me the best performance (so far, anyway):


Again, this is for two GPUs; if you have just one then there should only be one each of 416, 8 and 2 in the above profile. Conversely, if you have more than two then extend the comma-delimited list as necessary.

Getting a very consistent 460 H/s per GPU with 1200 core / 1900 mem and 100% power in MSI AB. Also used the one-click timing patch in PBE and patched driver with pixel clock patcher - the usual shenanigans required with AMD cards, in other words.

I try to open my bios in the PBE, but it gives me an error and it doesnt open the bios, i tried multiple bioses, disabled secureboot, eneabled csm, tried different computer.

I didn't have any issues... once I installed .NET 3.5, anyway.

The process I used was:

1. Save original BIOS using GPU-Z 2.7.0
2. Load original BIOS into PBE; apply one-click timing patch and save BIOS with a different name.
3. Use ATIWinFlash to load new BIOS onto card.
4. Use ATI Pixel Clock Patcher to convince driver the card is fine.
5. Profit.

Thx, i did these exapt 2 first steps, but then it gives me an error and the bios doesnt even load, i will try to install .net3.5, that could be the problem since i recenctly reinstalled windows ( about 6 times this week lol)

One other thing I forgot - I recall reading somewhere that ATIWinFlash won't work if you have more than one card installed; I did all of the above BIOS modding on a bare mobo I have set up for this purpose as well as testing cards.

"Atifwinflash" is just a gui for the command-line tool "atiflash". They come bundled together, and it's very easy to use the command-line version, which does work with multiple cards just fine: list the adapters with "atiflash.exe -ai", then save the bios of the adapter "n" with "atiflash.exe -s n bios.rom" and flash the bios to the adapter "n" with "atiflash.exe -p n bios.rom".

i tried installing net3.5 , but  im still not able to load any bios in the polaris bios editor with the one click timing in it, also tried 512kb bios( saved from atiflash)
i keep getting an error saying '' Runtime.ineropServices.Marhsal.SizeOf(ATOM_ROM_READER)''

edit:
i got it working, i had to install a different frameworks version, thx a lot for your help !

Ah, good. Did you by any chance try to install the current version of .NET first, as 3.5 is an older version?

Otherwise, I was just about to PM my email address and offer to load your BIOS into my copy of PBE to see if I could apply the one-click timing patch myself.

If you are surprised, rx550 does 480h/s in cryptonight xD

Not every card. None of my 18 cards do 500H/s, the fastest ones I've got do 470 H/s at best, and some are as low as 415 H/s (not many though, most are in 435-445 H/s range). That's the claymore hashrates for the cards running for days/weeks non-stop with 0 memory errors in HWInfo.They could do a little bit more of course, but that would put a lot more stress on them so makes no sense for the long term mining. Looks like the best cards for cryptonight are the 2gb versions with Elpida ram, it's like they've got faster chips than the ones on the 4gb cards (which come with Hynix, Micron or Samsung ram, at least I've only seen these 3 types). But you can't mine ETH with the 2gb cards, which I think is a serious drawback considering how the price difference between the 2gb and 4gb versions isn't that great.

for me the micron memory seems to be the lesser good of the micron, hynix, and elpida.
i have  elpida rx550 2gb that can do 480 hash, hynix rx460 2gb that can do 480 hash.
micron rx550 4gb that can do 400 hash, micron rx460 4gb 420 hash.

Looks like the 2gb versions are better.

edit:
Just scooped up another rx550 2gb for 70 euro xD

are you serious ????
i dont think so its possible to get 480 hashes with rx 550 2GB memory in now a days???
i think you want to sell your own cards, so you are trying to promote.
if you are not lying did you have any proof (like videos or picture)???

560 4G Hynix and Micron are > than 460H/S depending of timing you have.
I didn't have the chance to have Samsung one but from my experience on 580 Samsung are the best for Cryptonight.

Good to know for the 2G !!!

Wako: For your 560 4G try to add claymore (cryptonight option) -h 896 (give me increase of hash)

Are you calling me a liar?
People give you valueble innformation and you just go arround calling them liar, instead of thanking them for the information?
Look this youtube video little guy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S16mGHrXNDQ&t=46s

Saying i want to sell my cards, so i am lying about their hashrates, i just bought the cards you  goat, and im buying more, orderd another rx550 for 70 euro, yeah.

When i load the bios from my sapphire rx550 4gb micron,  when i load it in polaris bios editor, it says rx460 in the information.
So i think this sapphire rx550 4gb micron is really a rx460 with 4 (6) of its compute units turned of.

The RX 550 is a Polaris 12 chip, it´s a new chip with 14nm FinFET LPP !

The RX 580 / 570 is a Polaris 20 chip (renamed Polaris 10 with 14nm FinFET LPP).
The  RX 560 is a Polaris 21 (renamed Polaris 11   with 14nm FinFET LPP).

Polaris 10 and 11 are produced with 14nm FinFET LPE.

Thanks, good information.

I have one weird thing;
On claymore my rx460 2 gb hynix gives 480 hash, on xmrstak it gives 420
On Claymore my rx550 4gb micron gives 370 hash, on xmrstak it gives 420

Im confused

Xmr-stak is fairly difficult to optimize (so is SGMiner-GM) and I never got Claymore to come anywhere close to even unoptimized xmr-stak.

SGMiner-GM 5.5.5 gives me the best performance, but, sadly, some tweaking is still required even if given good parameters from someone else with the exact same card. The next best performing miner for me was https://www.amdxmrminer.com/ (https://www.amdxmrminer.com/), and it doesn't require any tweaking.

Have you finally download the SGminer files from my guide? :D
For XMR-STAK use 2 threads just like SGminer, Claymore need to be tweaked as well I think it's -h command whe you can set intensity.
If you use old XMR-STAK-AMD you would have higher hashrate.

Hey, i downloaded the sgminer already from your guide, and tried the config, but still everytime i try to run the .exe it starts with telling me i didnt specify pool, and user, etc, so i have to re-enter it everytime when i start it, i do something wrong with the config, this is my cryptonight.conf ( is that even the right format for it to be in the folder? ); 

{
  "pools": [
    {
      "name":"jeffrey",
      "url": "stratum+tcp://198.54.124.187:5555",
      "user": "Q5qUvib3HKHD1SNbfQwkNVV6YDsuVJciXbfoUhTajDRQG42mrbT3JtsUDeJDDogK2xLfSQXkMh5HrSQ KrynhpZPp2uvh346ZC",
      "pass": "x",
      "priority": "1",
      "profile": "cryptonight"

Run the bat, there is specified the config file name...

Yes it works when i launch the bat, but i don't know the command for 2 threads in the command line for the batfile, wich why im sitll on xrmstak because there io know how to make 2 threads work.

Well, I warned you that sgminer-gm was difficult...  :P

Here is my entire .conf file for mining ITNS on a system with (2) RX 560 and an Intel integrated GPU (which you don't want to use, obviously):


The "gpu-platform" needs to be set to "1" if you have an integrated GPU, otherwise set it to "0".

And my .bat file:


The switch --gpu-reorder may be needed with integrated GPU present. I haven't actually tested this yet and might not since everything works fine right now so why mess with success?

Your config looks quite easy to me, :) I personally gave up on sgminer because I couldn't make it work reliably with multiple pools. What happens in your case if the official itns pool goes down? Do you have failover options specified with some other external scripts? Sgminer seems to have inbuilt failover mechanism, but I coundln't figure out how it works: the priority is defined with a number, but what those numbers do exactly and how to fine-tune the miner's behavior (when to switch to the next pool, when to try to get back to the main pool etc) is still a mystery to me. I was meaning to figure this all out, but then just switched to claymore and forgot about it.  :D

Bah, always a show-off in the group!  ;D



Ah, it's not just me, then. Nope, failover doesn't work for me, either. Honestly, sgminer-gm is a hot mess, but so far it performs the best so I put up with it.



Yeah, see this post of mine to the SGMiner thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1612329.msg29859202#msg29859202 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1612329.msg29859202#msg29859202)

There is almost no logic to the optimization parameters (rawintensity, worksize, gpu-threads) and worse is that completely different rules apply to different algos. Now I understand that optimization /should/ be different for every algo, but what doesn't make sense to me is why worksize should be 192 for Ethash but 8 for Cryptonight? Or why one of the devs (OhGodAGirl) said that if 1 gpu-thread is used then worksize can be set to 8, but for 2 gpu-threads you all but have to set worksize to 4... and then I get the best results by far when I set worksize to 8 and gpu-threads to 2?! Then there is the rawintensity parameter which is supposedly estimated by multiplying the compute units by 4x the worksize, which would be 512 in my case, but sgminer immediately crashed with that setting so I did a manual binary search starting with half the calculated value, 256. SGMiner loaded but the hashrate was low so I next tried halfway between 256 and 512, or 384; that was quite a bit faster, so next was 448; that was a bit slower, so next was 416. That seemed to work really well but seemed to have stability problems, because the rig kept locking up after 8-12 hours of operation so I've since dialed back rawintensity to 408 and that only knocked 2 H/s off the speed but it seems to be much more robust (only 2 days at 408, but no crashes).

Claymore was significantly slower for me - about 340 H/s was the best I managed, though I didn't spend nearly as much time on it as I have SGMiner - and while xmr-stak works really well on my AMD CPUs, it hasn't been a top performer with any of my AMD GPUs. But that could be from not persisting with the tweaking as much.

The bat file look only like this
Name the .conf like you have it.
That's enough in bat, if you download the files from my guide and run the bat it should start mining with no problems.

The only thing I changed for the claymore miner is the -h parameter — I'm getting the highest hashrate with -h 512. Everything else is on default.

guys, thx for all the work, im minning with sgminer now.

this rx550 elpida is nuts, it does 500+ hash constantly, its better then my hynix 460/micron 460/550.

But i have 1 problem, after a while, my screen turns black, and then into  the grey and black dots ( like snow) and then my whole system reboots.

i think the asrock 970 pro4 is not the best board to connect 4 gpu's on it, i think it has weak power phasing ( 4+1) and there is no molex connector on the board like on the btcpro boards.
But still these cards only  consume about 30 watts, so i thought it wouldn't of been a problem, hence i bought this bord for 50 euro, the btcpro boards are selling for 5x msrp now lol.

Do you plug your cards directly into the board? Or do you use old ribbon risers? Tried googling the board but it doesn't seem to exist, could only find 970 extreme4 or 970 pro3, but not 970 pro4.

Hey, ya sorry i made a mistake, its an asrock 970 extreme 4.


Im using oldskool ribbon risers, i got 4 cards to work now!
I needed to put on 16x to 16x  riser on the 16x slot, i think that did the trick. Other 3 cards are on 1x-16x risers.

I think the system shutting down must be my mem or gpu clocks, since everytime after it crashes and i restart the pc it says wattman settings restored due to a system failure.

Pretty annoying that i dont know wich card is the one crashing, or more then one :P
It's just a matter of finding stable gpu and mem clocks now for every particilar card, the MICRON cards don't even seem to run stable at above 1750 mhz.( sgminer)
Do you play with the memory voltage? or just leave it at 0.85v? Does gpu core/voltage have any influence on memory clocks stability?
My 2x550+2x460 rig now gives me 1.8 kh/s avarage 5 seconds reading, so im already very happy.

I keep both the gpu and memory controller voltage at 0.875v. I don't think core voltage affects the memory chips, not directly at least. And I don't recall seeing any correlation between the voltages and memory overclock on polaris cards. I think some people figured out how to increase the actual memory voltage on some cards, and that might lead to higher clocks possible, but then again it's not really advisable since there are reports out there about memory degradation on Polaris cards even at stock voltage. Most of these cheap cards don't have the memory chips cooled in any way, even the airflow from the fan(s) is barely there, so they're cooking as they are already.. increasing the voltage will speed it up even more.

Are you seeing any memory errors (in HWInfo) when the rig is crashing?

Im getting 0 hw errors, but now im also getting crashes when its not even mining, so something is really instable here. Sometime only amd drivers crash, sometimes total system crashes, just shuts down and restarts itsself.
I did notice it was my rx460 2gb hynix that was crashing the miner, i unlocked shaders on that one, so i locked them again hoping that was causing the problem, but still crashing.

Then i look in bios editor what the timings are of this card and i have no clue where i got them from, they dont correspont to the numbers in this thread lol, looking at that right now, gonna take timings from this thread again and reflash.

It has been my experience - albeit, let's keep my member level in mind - that too high of a mem clock just causes bad shares and artifacts on the screen; it's too high of a core clock or too low of a core voltage that causes actual crashes.

That said, I noticed improved stability on my RX 570 rig after upgrading to the latest AMD driver - 18.2.1 - but haven't yet upgraded the RX 560 Cryptonight special just yet and it has been running fine ever since I lowered the rawintensity in SGMiner from 416 to 408.

i reflashed with your hynix strap ( hynix) and it's been stable so far,  arround 480 hash 1100/1850
Weird thing is my rx550 4gb micron is also doing 440 hash now, while i was cursing at it for 2 days because i couldnt get it over 400 hash.
What do you get from your micron 560's/550's? Im not even sure if im using your strap, gonna check that if/when my miner crash again xD


Good you say that, my intensity is at 432 with 2 threads, so i guess thats kind of pusing it? will try 416 next if i get a crash again.

Also what is REALLY weird, i kept adding more voltage to the cards hoping for it to get stable, till a point i was at 1050 on them all, and still not stable, so i figured that cant be the problem.
Now i put them all at 900mv and its been mining for over an hour now without crashing ( new record lol )

I didn't see any difference in hashrate going from 416 to 408, but I also haven't had any crashes since then, either; when rawIntensity was set to 416 my rig could barely make it 8 hours without crashing (the kind of crash that requires pressing the reset button, not just ctrl-alt-del").

any one try this cards

Gigabyte Radeon RX 560 4GB OC GDDR5 GV-RX560OC-4GD
singel fan

ASUS Radeon RX 560 4GB GDDR5 RX560-4G dual fan

what is your hashrate

~ 443 H/s at 1100/1750. All 560/4 cards, I don't have any 550s.

Ya thats what im getting, i think im using your strap you posted in page 7 or 8 i think.


arround 440-460 hash cryptonight algo

The 2GB versions seem to come with Hynix and Elpida and they hash a little faster in cryptonight ( ~470-500 hash)

I also have a fx8320 as cpu in the rig, and i was thinking i could let that mine also while my gpu's are mining, but that was just a dream  i guess, that cpu is known for using a lot of power, the power delivery of the board probally isnt sufficient to run the cpu at full load while giving juice to  the 4 gpu's. I think a mobo with a molex connector to feed the pci express ports is really a nice feature, i see it on more expensive boards and ofc the ( madly overpriced) btc pro boards.

My MSI Aero 2gb hynix seems to like a slightly higher power limit. I get 5% higher hash with +10% power limit.

I think that also could differ between hynix cards, since the power limit has more to do with gpu core then the memory.
I tried higher power limit, still getting same hash.

I also found out i get same hash with intensity 400 as with intensity 432, but on intensity 400 it just never crashes, its been going for over 20 hours now, previous record was 2 hours.

That matches my experience, so I think there really is a correlation here. When I did my binary search on rawIntensity I got almost immediate crashing at 512, no crashing at 384, some crashing at 416, and (so far) no crashing at 408. However, I haven't been running for more than 2 days continuously because of various other issues (e.g. - yesterday Windows 10 decided to update 3 computers at once, even though I disabled updates...  ::) )

So the configs are working, that's great.
https://mining-bios.eu/guides-and-miners/cryptonight-xmr-etn-sumo-aeon-mining-guides-and-miners-configs/

Yes, i got everything working, your topic about the cryptonight mining is awsome, i think you are helping so many people, because when you google about cryptonight mining your topic is one of the first hits on google bro.

Mine still crashed, after about 20 hours, system stays running but not mining anymore and black screen, have to restart pc manually.
I think for my rx550 4gb and rx460 4gb with micron, even 1750 mhz seems to be to high for them, wtf? I put them at 1700 mhz now.
the hynix and elpida can run 1850 mhz easily.

All of the 2GB XFX RX 560's I've received so far have Elpida memory so I've gotten lucky in the silicon lottery. A 4th is on the way and I hope I didn't just jinx myself  :P

Once I get all 6 slots on my Onda D1800 filled out I am going to revisit xmr-stak and claymore because SGMiner is just so finicky to get working right and it has been abandoned for about a year now. The supposed replacement - gateless gate sharp - is still very much in beta testing (lots of crashes being reported).

Are you also still getting crashes? I keep fiddling with the memory/gpu frequenzies trying to ind out wich card is causing the crash, since i can't tell wich card it is, when it crashes i get blackscreen.
I might also give xmrstak another shot.
I also bought 1 more gigabyte rx550 2gb, hope it has elpida memory.
Gonna sell my gigabyte rx460 4gb micron, since for the money i can get from it i can buy 1.5 rx 550.

But will that half of an RX 550 do at least half the hashrate of a full one?  ;D

Yeah, I had another crash after about 36 hours of operation. That's pretty good, but my 6x GTX 1060 Equihash rig will run for a week without a reboot; maybe longer, but Windows Update rarely lets me go more than a week without forcibly rebooting. This despite manually disabling its service... One of the things I absolutely despise about W10.

Im using xmrstak now, it basicly gives you the same hashrate, sgminer makes it seem like its more because its showing you spikes,  sometime it would say 1.9kh/s for my rig, other time 1.6kh/s
on xmrstak its always same, 1.8kh/s for 2x460 and 2x 550. It also lets you overclock the cards higher since it runs more stable then sgminer.
Im going to sell my 460's since they use twice the power of my 550's for the same hash, and 550's are actually still in stock lol. ( for how long)

I also use xmrstak, tweaked to use 2 gpu threads it performs just as good as sgminer.

You going to share that portion of the amd.txt file? The "help" section - such as there is - doesn't explain how to set gpu threads.

Hey, to use 2 threads per gpu, just copy every line for your gpu's, so theres 2 lines for every gpu, thats all.

this is for my 4 gpu's with 2 threads per gpu:


"gpu_threads_conf" : [

   { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 432, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
    { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 432, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
    { "index" : 1, "intensity" : 432, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
   { "index" : 1, "intensity" : 432, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
        { "index" : 2, "intensity" : 432, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
   { "index" : 2, "intensity" : 432, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
   { "index" : 3, "intensity" : 432, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
   { "index" : 3, "intensity" : 432, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
   
],


Since im using xmrstak again, i can also let my cpu mine at the same time, since its a fx8320 and it does 430 hashes its worth it.

Since I need both some ETH and merit, if someone need help, I could do some BIOS-es
for merit/eth combo...where 1 merit is worth 0.01ETH, and price is 0.1ETH overall

Hah, now it's my turn to give you merit for posting a config file!  ;D

I also put to work an old FX-8300 with xmr-stak in CPU-only mode but only getting about 340 H/s out of it. I spent a LOT of time tweaking the threads on that one, though, so I don't think I can wring any more out of it.

I wasn't sure if the i 432 work with 2GB cards, so it does work? I've edited my guide to only 416.

BTW you better to mine AEON with CPU much better for CPU mining.

Also SGminer will probably not work with upcoming Monero hardfork if somebody won't make needed changes.

The primary CN coin I mine is DERO, with ITNS in 2nd place, and EDL in a very distant 3rd (it gets the AMD FX-8300 CPU  ;D ).

Since I've built up a decent stash of EDL and ITNS I might drop either/both of those for AEON, though. Looks interesting.

EDIT - good point about the XMR hard fork!

I think some dev will do it, just like somebody did it for XMR-STAK.

i did overclock the fx8120 to 4 ghz to get 400 hash out of it, use 7 threads for this cpu.

I am confused again, i used a 850 watt coolermaster bronze power supply with 66amp on the 12v rail, so i figured it was way overkill for 2x rx550 and 1x rx460 ( just sold one rx460 today)
So i hooked up a 600 watt coolermaster bronze with 44 amp on the 12 volt, and now i cant get these 2x rx550 and 1x rx460 stable, my plan was to use the 850 watt for maybe a 10x rx550 rig, since this crappy mobo already made it hard for me to get 4 cards working, dont think extending one pci slot to extra 4x pci slots is gonna work.

edit:

You are right, somehow i put it at 432 and i was having shutdowns after every seconds again, when i saw your post i immidiatly put it at 416 and its running so far :)

I switched from sgminer-gm 5.5.5 to xmr-stak 2.2.0 and tweaked amd.txt as suggested by @Vlizzjeffrey and I'm getting 1370 H/s out of (3) 2GB XFX RX 560 cards. That's exactly the same as with sgminer, but it seems a lot more stable. The specific problem I was having with sgminer is it would lock the rig up so bad it needed to be hard reset, usually, but not always, when I used the KVM switch to select it after it had been running awhile. Note that I am using the integrated GPU in the Celeron CPU for video, and not one of the mining cards, so this behavior was quite perplexing.

Do not use iGPU with AMD! Bad idead, it blocks OC settings, might be fixed with newer drivers, but it was big problem for most cards for mining. Only with Nvidia cards.
Properly configured SGminer has a lot higher hashrate than XMR-STAK 2.2 even older XMR-STAK-AMD has higher hashrate than 2.2. I've compiled latest sources from XMR-STAK it's in my guide for download, it has slightly higher hashrate but still older AMD version is better, also it has lowered dev fee to 1%.

Could you please elaborate on this? I'm using onboard intel graphics on all my rigs, both amd and nvidia, and I did have some issues with amd systems, but have always just assumed that it's due to their buggy drivers and all the nonsense with modded bioses, paching etc. I've only got one rig with amd cards that doesn't use onboard graphics, and it is indeed the most stable among them all. So now your post made me think that maybe I should try disabling the onboard on all my amd rigs. OC settings don't seem to be blocked though, I'm using overdriventool and it works fine.

Hmm... I just switched my (3) RX 560 rig over to mining UBQ to check this out and I'm getting 38.8 MH/s total with 1200/1900 set in MSI AB. Driver version is Adrenalin 18.2.2 in Compute mode. So my speed does seem a bit low per card (12.9 MH/s) given they all have Elpida memory. Not using the iGPU is a bit of a problem with the Onda D1800 mining mobos, though.

EDIT - and dropping all 3 mem clocks to 1800 did not change hashrate as it should have...

They might fix it. I'm still on 17.6.2 drivers and on these and older ones there were problem with stability and OC settings, clocks weren't successfully applied when you check it with Hwinfo and GPU-Z. Some of my customers have same problems with newer drivers too, but not sure about Adrenaline.

You probably need better timing strap. Also it's better to change clocks before you start mine it sometimes doesn't react on changes.

Thanks for the clue on what to check and you are indeed correct - GPU-Z 2.7.0 reports the stock and current clock values are the same (1295/1750, vs. 1200/1900 reported by MSI AB) so something buggy going on for sure, and you get a merit! Disabling the iGPU on the Onda mobos has led to a lot of problems with NO video showing up, and it not being recoverable without removing the CMOS backup battery.

EDIT - so the plan, I guess, is to order a DVI-D to VGA adapter (so I can continue using my KVM switch with my other Onda board that has all NVIDIA cards) and see if I can get the mobo to disable the onboard VGA *and* enable one of the PCIe GPUs for video out.


I'm interested... but I need to sort out this iGPU mess, first.

Again, I don't use these new drivers, but on those old I need HDMI dummy plug, it's working without it for me, but I know some RX cards need it. I use it because Teamviewer resolution that is terrible without it. I'm using one of those 2 dollars HDMI to VGA convertor, it's fake not the original, but it does the job :D
All my rigs have Z270 chipset.
Thanks for the Merit :) I was thinking that I will have it because of my guides, but they not giving me almost none :D

Holy shit, that worked! I just happened to have an HDMI dummy plug that I purchased for my RX 570 rig but didn't end up needing. I plugged it into the first RX 560 on the Onda rig and now the correct clock rates are showing up in GPU-Z while Cryptonight hashrate jumped by ~22 H/s per card (after stopping and restarting xmr-stak)! I'll try Claymore v11.0 on a <2GB DAG Ethash coin (MUSIC or UBQ) in about 15 minutes and update this post.

I have just one merit left to give out, but if solving a problem I didn't even know I have isn't worth a merit then this forum is screwed...

UPDATE - okay, looks like I need to get a dummy plug for *each* card; the hashrate jump in xmr-stak was ~66 H/s total and I *assumed* that it was spread equally per card, but when I loaded up Claymore only the first card shows a higher hashrate of 14 MH/s while the other two are still at 12.9 MH/s. Still, the dummy plugs are cheap and an easy fix!

Thats strange, I dont have same problem

I'm always using latest drivers, though

I'm guessing it's a mobo-dependent issue, then, as I'm also using the latest drivers (Adrenalin 18.2.2).

Core: 1050MHz
Memory: 2100 MHz
BIOS modded by Polaris using HiveOS - Cryptonight - 440h/s at 43ºC

Just installed the 4th RX 560 on my Onda D1800 and it looks like I'm playing "one step forward, two steps backwards" with it. Went through all the rigamarole to patch the BIOS and now MSI AB doesn't recognize any of the cards while GPU-Z does. I also bought more HDMI dummy plugs so every card has one now and still no change. Hashrate on XMR-stak has also dropped on the first card back to what it was before - 420-440 H/s instead of ~500 - and the other cards are, of course, performing similarly.

I don't think I'm going to tinker with it any more tonight - I've set it mining DERO and even though the total hashrate of 1800 H/s isn't quite what I wanted to achieve, it's still 400 more than it was before I installed the 4th card.

This is what I do - despite what people say on Windows 10 you don't need dummy hmdi plugs, instead if your motherboard supports it force on-board graphics (so no graphics go via the cards you are mining with), and allow Windows 10 to detect the cards in device manager normally.

When adding new cards always and I mean always (this has cost me hours) uninstall the AMD drivers with DDU (http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html), then install the blockchain drivers fresh.

Lastly I've had much better results for AMD cards with OverdriveNTool (https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/overdriventool-tool-for-amd-gpus.416116/) instead of Afterburner etc.

I support this, wattman and OverdriveNTool are only ones that always worked for me, direct OC from miners and AB and Trixx get
broken often...only if you don't upgrade drivers, use AB or trixx

This card is mostly gaming, rather than used for mining. Although, if you apply overclocking and activate the firmware, the speed of crypto-extraction by rx 560 increases by tens of percent. rx 560 4 is ideal for mining modern crypto currency (including zek). It demonstrates low energy consumption, which has a positive effect on lowering production costs.
Performance is high, especially in comparison with previous versions. Cost - optimal, payback ~ half a year, reliability - increased. Ideal for switching to a higher and profitable level of mining!

Well, I DDU'ed the existing Adrenalin 18.2.2 driver, reinstalled it, re-patched all the BIOS and... once again GPU-Z recognizes the cards but MSI AB doesn't..

So I d/l'ed OverDrivenTool and now I am looking at a UI that seems very capable of causing trouble, if not outright damage. While I tend to prefer more Spartan UIs than the overly gaudy, and resource hogging, MSI AB, I also prefer there be some sort of documentation I can peruse, rather than just search for what others did and hope I don't fry something.

MSI AB will not recognize Polaris/Baffin cards with newer drivers, something is broken there. It actually will recognize them if you have 1-2 cards in the rig, but not if there's more (maybe up to 3 cards are recognized, I don't remember, but I read somewhere that this whole thing was broken on purpose due to MSI AB dev hating miners or something). The last driver that works with MSI AB is the August Blockchain beta. It's not that big a deal though, the only thing that MSI AB does well for AMD cards is the custom fan curve. Actual clocks/voltages control is way better in OverdriveNTool anyway, it's the fan control that sucks there, especially for "0 DB" cards (with target temps at ~ 50-60 C, I'm regularly seeing some of my rx560 cards stopping their fans and starting them again, sometimes every 5 minutes or so; still haven't figured out how to deal with this myself).

That would explain why everything was fine when I had 3 cards, but broke when I added the 4th.

Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out how to properly use OverDrivenTool. I'll get there... eventually.

EDIT - well,  threw caution to the wind and just started changing stuff and seeing what worked and I made some progress. Got the new core and mem clocks to stick on every card and set a target temp of 64C for the fans. Saved the profile and next I'll see about automatically applying that profile either at boot or right before starting a miner (pretty much only Cryptonight or Ethash will be run on this rig).

EDIT 2 - and some weirdness, of course: looks like Cryptonight hashrate is up on the 1st and 4th cards, but not the 2nd and 3rd. GPU-Z reports the new clock rates for all 4 of the RX 560s, though, and I used the same 2-thread/intensity config for all cards in xmr-stak.

i cant get  a 5th GPU added to my  ASROCK Z77 EXTREME 9.
I tried all different combinations of slots, put bios settinngs on GEN1, GEN2, GEN3, didnt  solve it either.
it looks like it can only see GPU'S that i put in slot 1,4,5 and 6. Slot 2,3 and 7 don't work.
I know the board can do 6 gpu's because i found an older topic on bittalk regarding this board, and he got it fixed with 6 gpu's, but his fix was enabling GEN2 in the bios, wich i did too, but still cant get 5th gpu to work.
I think i do  see it in device manager, with an error code 31, i tried installing drivers in device manager, it looked like it installed them, screen flashed to black screen for a split second and came  back, so i had my hopes up it had of worked, but it didn't.
I also turned off all onboard devices, like usb 3.0 controller, onboard wifi, audio, everything.
i am using windows 10 and amd drivers 18.2.2 and rx550 gpu's.
Ive been struggling with this for the past 2 days and im really at a point where i've used all the inspiration i got from stuff i found on google regarding this topic, today 2 more rx550's arrived so theres now 3 gpu's doing nothing, i dont know what else to think of how to get this workin.

fixed it by using a 1pci-e---->4pci-e extender bord

Does Hynix suck for overclocking?
My pbe one click modded hynix starts getting unstable in windows benchmarks at only 1865 mhz
When in was unmodded it could overclock over 2000 mhz, is it normal to have a lower oc ceiling when timings are modded?

Most BIOS mods tighten the read/write timings of the VRAM and, yes, this does tend to lower the maximum stable clock frequency, but this is usually a good tradeoff to make as far as mining performance goes.

Cool, thanks for clarifying bro.
My hynixes are doing 460h/s each, not the worse though, my friend's microns only do 440h/s. Wish I had elpidas.
Mining the new TRIT coin now.

My hynix rx460 does 490 h/s, my elpida rx550's do about 470 h/s, microns worst, 420 hash ( rx550)

Did some experimenting with the intensity in xmr-stak today. My rx560 cards have 2gb hynix.
Copied a popular config and I always had it on the recommended 432 intensity in 2 gpu threads.
Anything over 432 is unstable. Tried 416 but it decreases hash rate a bit. Tried 424 and it seems to be the sweet spot for my cards. Has the same max hash rate as 432 with less fluctuation, plus it allowed much higher OC.
Pushed my average from 460h/s to 474h/s. May be able to get higher but might have to increase power limit.
Looks like some cards do prefer a slightly lower intensity than the recommended.

This is crazy my msi 2gb hynix card is a lot better than I thought. Doing ~505h/s stable, never thought card could reach this.
Changes were decrease of intensity from 432 to 424 per gpu thread as I mentioned above, +30% power limit, oc to 2050 mhz memory, core clock was left at 1292 mhz
Amazing what a small tweak can accomplish.

Hi,

I also bought a few msi rx550 2gb aeros, and i saw a video on youtube for elpida timings for my gigabyte rx550's, and that guy used the msi 2 gb aeros, he had elpida on them, so i assumed mine would be elpida too, but  they are hynix.
Not that it matters a whole bunch, the elpida's also do 470 h/s, but yah, they hynix seems to be a little faster xD.
Now im wondering if all 4 of my msi's 550's have hynix, or will some have elpida too, i will know in a few hours im bios modding them atm.

Yeah, I also got a few RX 550 Aero, and they all came with Hynix. Doing about 460-500 H/s with them, didn't have enough time to figure out the best settings/timings, all this amd stuff is weird, especially sgminer settings. RI 400 (or even up to 420) works with most cards, but then there's one card that would crash sgminer 5.5.5 on start. Yet it works fine with the nicehash sgminer (but the hashrate is a bit lower in that one).

Although I got sgminer-gm 5.5.5 to hash nearly as well as xmr-stak 2.2.0, I also experienced a lot of crashes. Once I figured out how to double the threads in xmr-stak (thanks to this thread), and dialed in the other settings, I got it to perform even better than sgminer and haven't looked back since. One weird thing is that the 1st and 4th cards hash at >500 H/s while the 2nd and 3rd are stubbornly stuck at 440 & 460 H/s, and all have Elpida memory. Even weirder is that when I switch over to Ethash in Claymore 11.2 it is the 1st and 2nd cards that perform better, at 14 MH/s, while the 3rd and 4th do 13 MH/s... I tell ya, AMD cards are f'ed up


P.S. - thanks for the merit in the Intensecoin thread!

Ya, sgminer kept crashing for me too, couldnt run it more then 6 hours without a crash, xrmstak works much better for me, altho i didnt got it to run over 24 hours without a crash yet, still a work in progress.


Ya, i think i am using your hynix timings, works well, now i feel like i also should get rid of the 550's with elpida ( got rid of micron) But the elpida's are pretty close to the hynix ones so ill let them be, since it seems like people here are hoarding on the rx550's, they are all sold out, feelsbadman.

I thought my aero 550's would be elpida cos i saw one guy in a youtube video with these cards, his were elpida.

Still trying to push my cards to the limit, one of my 2gb hynix rx560 really lucked out in the silicon lottery, now got it doing ~537 H/s stable @1292/2175 mhz
To hold this speed it needed a power limit increase to +35%, at 30% it would fluctuate and sometimes drop to 521 H/s.
Great cryptonight miner this little beast  ;D
Wish AMD didn't suck at equihash, would have more viable coins to mine now.

You should ask yourself if pushing extra ~25% watts in the gpu's is worth the 10% extra hashrate, or maybe you dont have to pay for your electric, then its different ofcourse.

I tried to run all my rx550's at 900mV, but i got early crash, trying 975mV now.

I'm running all my 550s and 560s at 0.875V, all 550s at 1150-1200 MHz and 560s at 1100 MHz. Didn't really test the core clocks thoroughly cause they don't seem to matter all that much for cryptonight (and don't matter at all for ETH). I wouldn't run any of these cards at voltages higher than 0.9V, their coolers are very bad and there's always a chance that there are some elements on the board that are 100°+. Memory chips aren't cooled at all on most of these, solid gpu rads just cover them (without touching obviously) and no air from the fan(s) makes it to the vram, so these chips could degrade pretty fast.

I tried running at 900mV but it crashes inmidiatly for me, have to try to find out wich ogpu is cuasing the crash,

I just orderd asus rx550 2gb, hope its not micron memory, all the msi rx550 2gb aero's are sold out or way overpriced ( 130 euro)

This is making me nuts, i keep getting this stupid error:

ATIKMPAG.SYS FAILURE.

sometimes i have to reboot my rig 3 times b4 i can get into the amd settings again, i tried different drivers, tried stuff i found on google regarding this issue, its so annoying.

Try signing out and then signing in instead of rebooting. Might work this way.

Just did some more extensive testing of every single mhz on the card and I get the most consistent hash at 1292/2166 mhz.
It does 534 H/s with no fluctuation at all. Going higher than 2166 on the mem is not worth it, it goes as high as 545 H/s but always fluctuates to a low of 514 H/s.
My msi rx560 card does not require additional power connector. Draws ~50W, stock cooler on msi is big and does nice job, temp is 65C max (not horrible as I live in South Florida) and the mem gets plenty of airflow from shroud design.
Got the card in January for 119 usd, best value I ever got from gpu.

Found the ceiling on hash rate, next is working on reducing power usage, will test with lower core clocks.

2166 memory is pretty crazy, i run my hynix at 1900 and my elpida's at 1850.
that 50 watts, is  that from gpu-z reading? because if so, thats a lot, the rx550's only do 20 watts on gpu-z.

Does your rig with 550's run continously on xrmstak without crashing for over 24 hours?
Mine always crashes after couple of hours, about 5 hours.

Is there a way too make the miner software restart every hour? This would really solve my problem.

If you have 2gb card try NOT using blockchain drivers and NOT using compute mode on newer drivers. Those drivers/compute are fine for 4gb cards but I noticed they make 2gb cards more unstable especially with high oc. I'm still using the last Crimson 17.11.4 driver on graphics mode without any problems.
You could try reducing intensity too. I backed down from 432 intensity to 424 for my gpu threads and gained stability without losing hash.

Anyone tried mining MusicCoin? It seems 4gb cards are slightly better than 2gb in ethhash, even with small dag size coins. The 4gb rx560 does about 1.2 mh/s better than the 2gb even though the 2gb overclocks better.

Mine work for days with no problems. I think it's all about OC and miner settings, I'm currently using sgminer with ri 400.

There's plenty of ways to do that. Easiest I can think of (though maybe not the most elegant) is to run the miner in a loop and then run another simple script that restarts the miner's process.

Your miner's bat:

:loop
sgminer.exe -k cryptonight ... ...
goto loop

And then a separate bat-file for restarting the miner:

:start
timeout -t 3600
taskkill /t /f /im sgminer.exe
goto start

So you run your miner with the first bat, and then run the 2nd bat file. Keep them both running and the 2nd one will be automatically restarting your miner every hour.

Yep, I've mined MUSIC with 2GB RX 560s. I'm getting 13 or 14 MH/s per card. Note that is either 13 or 14, not a range. I'm not sure why that is, especially since the same cards that are faster at Ethash are not the same ones that are faster at Cryptonight. Also, after Windoze did its latest mandatory-despite-being-disabled update the order of which cards are fastest changed for both algos. So, there definitely seems to be something weird going on with the driver (Adrenalin 18.2.2).

Thanks man, im using xtrmstak but i guess the proces would be the same, gonna try it today, this should fix my  problem, every day when i wake up my miner is crashed lol.

edit:

So  i had sgminer running, but one card was acting weird, i found out layer one of the pci-e power kabels one of the wires went out the plastic socket....found this out after reinstalling windows  ofcourse.
Now my sgminer just restarts when i start it, so there must be some file from a windows update thats required to run it, just trying to figure out wich one, i have updated after my reinstall of windows.

I found out how to make your miner restart every x seconds, i wanted to share it with you guys, most probally already know this but maybe some dont.
Just make a batfile in the folder where your miner software is in, and copy this in it:

@echo off
:loop
start xmr-stak-amd.exe
timeout /t 3600 >null
taskkill /f /im xmr-stak-amd.exe >nul
goto loop

it says xmr-stak-amd.exe for me because thats the name of my miner, if your miner is sgminer, you put sgminer.exe there

3600 is 3600 seconds ( 1 hour) You can set it at any ammount of seconds you like.

Hope this helps someone.

Edit:

Now i got sgminer running, out of 7 cards 6 are hasing, and sometimes the one thats not working does like 10-20 hash, really odd.
In xmrstak i got all 7 cards working so at least the rig is mining again!

With my 2gb rx560's I get 15.5 MH/s on MUSIC and 534 H/s on ETN. My max mem clock is 2130 mhz on ethhash and 2166 on cryptonight, these cards are worthless on equihash they hit the wall at only 1900 mhz for 155 Sol/s. I've just stuck with the last Crimson driver 17.11.4 and don't bother with compute mode it doesn't help at all on 2gb cards.
It seems MUSIC is slightly more profitable than ETN as I can mine 3x as many coins and MUSIC is priced at ~40% of ETN.

I found something strange with my rx 550's

How serious should i take Wattage numbers from GPU-Z?
Accoring to GPU-Z my gigabyte rx550's with ELPIDA use 20 watts while mining
and  my  MSI rx550's with HYNIX use 28 watts while mining.
The gigabyte's with the ELPIDA also run cooler on the same fan speed. 50C vs 65C for the MSI's

Very strange, they are all on same settings, 1100/1850 900mV

rx 560 4gb is it worth it ?? or no ?
i got my hand on 6 560 for 120usd each you think its worth te investment ?

50% hashpower, 30% energy usage compared to RX570/580, for 20-25% price...do the math :)

As long as you can't buy rx570/580 for less than $300, I think its worth it

Guys, which version is the old Stak with good results please ?
For the moment I can't equal sgminer results (500+h/s with 2 threads) when I try stak with two threads too. I tried 2.2 , 2.0 and 1.1.0.
I get approximatively the same hashrate with all the stak versions I tried (460h/s), but still less than sg miner.

I guess I missed the righ stak version. Anyone reaching good number with Stak could tell me which version he use ?

Thanks a lot!

Im really curious about the monero fork, will the hashrates still be good for the rx460's rx560's rx550's.

specially for the rx550's im worried they could take a hit, because now they do so very well hash/watts, best of all gpu's by far. my 7x rx550's 3200h/s total system pulls 310 watt from wall.

Your mem quality just isn't good enough, it comes down to luck.
Most 2gb cards will have better hashrate than 4gb.
IMO the only benefit to go with 4gb is if you want to mine old ethash coins with big DAG size.

so a while back i ordered:
5x https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B076XX769R/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
at a pre-order price of 98euro + delivery

What would you recommend to mine on these? I was thinking of mining Ethash but it seems most people are saying cryptonight is better...
I generally run that on overpowered CPU rig's just to weigh off some of the costly load those rigs have at idle.

I can see mos tpeople suggesting aroudn lets say 550hs for Cryptonight vs lets say 15mh/s ethash... Now to me right now that makes ethash more profitable on most coins... and I would expect if i mined eth for the value to increase over the year more than say "monero" in terms of %'ages...

So why are people mining cryptonight on these?

Well, judging by this page

https://www.cryptunit.com/

it seems that cryptonight algorithm is dead for CPU/GPU mining, and ASICs took over

So, back to ethash, although there are doubts that ASICs are taking over it too,
it seems more profitable ATM

But most of the bigger cryptonight coins will fork the algo so the asics become useless pieces of metal

since the fork i am only getting 200h/s per card when mining Sumokoin, used to be 450 hash . rx550 2gb hynix.
*I know the hash is suppoed to be lower since the fork but  not this much lower right?

Well, I didn't try cryptonight heavy, but cryptonight V7 (Stellite) works pretty much the same on my RX560s

Heavy uses more memory so you'll probably have to dial back intensity quite a bit. I haven't yet tried this myself because the CN coins I primarily mine have foolishly delayed switching to an ASIC resistant algo...

So, I have my RX 560's churning away on MUSIC (Ethash) instead.

Looking to reduce power consumption on my rx560 rig, Afterburner can't access voltages so finally got around to installing OverdriveN tool.
On power limit -5% my cards can do max 1208mhz core without throttling, keeping it there as it's closest to stock core speed without going lower, don't wanna go "lower than what I bought" I'm weird like that haha.
I undervolted to 950 mV, went down to ~37W per card, they did up to ~48W at stock 1050 mV, might try to go lower but I worry about stability.
I read that the rx 550 can go down to ~30W at similar voltages? That's awesome, is it because of less ComputeUnits?


I'm mining MUSIC too but I'm also finding good ol Monero to be minable with rx 560, after the v7 fork the difficulty went down enough to be worth it, it won't last long so enjoying while I can.

wow that's fast, and the power draw also low.
just buyin' new red rex army rig with 4x rx560 and 3x rx460 seven in total

after sellin' the rig green pascal 2x gtx 1060 6gb

just hitting 2.650 kh with cryptonight v7 with this new rig
i wonder if it's can get higher

I finished testing them today at lower voltages with the same -5% power limit @ 1208 mhz. Tested with Claymore Zcash since it stresses core the most. It straight crashes at 880 mV, at 885 mV it gives errors then crashes, at 890 mV it doesn't crash but gives errors. At 897 mV it runs stable but this is where it starts to lose hash rate. So I settled on 902 mV, they use ~34W each. I reduced overall consumption by ~42W against stock with 3x 560's.

The RX 560 is an AMD product--

The GTX 560 is an outdated nVidia product no longer useful in mining.  My GTX 550ti mined scrypt at about 90kh/s, fully optimized.    It took me several weeks to earn a single LiteCoin, worth about $20, when I began mining.  The network difficulty for LiteCoin was still about 2,000 - 3,000.  The RX 560 is a modern AMD GPU capable of mining several newer algorithms at a modest energy level.

Further, the GTX 560M is a notebook GPU, and may well overheat and severely damage the notebook if used for mining. It cannot mine any current algorithm without costing more in the electricity it consumes than it would yield in mined crypto-currency.       --scryptr

What Setting do you have? 310W is very low for 7 Cards.

Memories...certainly a lot of stuff in crypto world changed since I posted this  ;D

Indeed, yet the 2GB RX 560's that I only bought because nothing else was available at the time have proven to be the best purchase by far. They are still profitable to run (on CN variants) while all of the NVidia cards have been turned off or sold in the last few months. Just goes to show you should never place all your bets on one card, coin, ASIC, etc.

CentOS with 18.30 amdgpu drivers. Stable 14.x with all 4gb rx560 cards at 36 watts. One click straps.

I think rx560 is the best low budget ethash card if you do 12 gpu rigs.

Amen, my little Sapphire Pulse RX560 cards have been happily working away at LOKI for a few months now. The 4 gig cards run around 63 to 66 C on the temps all the while turning out 380 H/s each on Cryptonight Heavy. The drain on my power supply is so minimal the cooling fan never turns on. Even the 2 gb cards hash around 318 h/s.

I figured out a few months ago the RX 560 and the 750 ti cards were the way to go. Sure they don't have as much hashrate as the 570 and 580 cards, but they barely sip any power even with stock bios, so in the long run, the most profit goes to the little brothers that nobody wanted and until recently most had to settle for. Now the big cards have entered a buyer's market on Ebay and 1070's and 1080's can be had for $200-$300. (Insert irony here)  ;)

Using PhoenixMiner 3.5d Windows i get 13.7mh/s

Too low core clock frequency, imho, around 1100-1150 is ideal in my opinion, even a bit more
if micron memory

please do not respond to his spam posts. this is just advertising for his really bad homepage.

4.2MH/s kawpow, so around $0.5 per day mining ravencoin /team red miner)
Probably more possible, didn't play enough with that algo


Edit: 6.5 after few minutes tweaking, so $1 per day

On RX580? Why kawpow Algorithm because that rx580 graphic card can give you up to 3$ per day and even some times it goes over 3.5$ per day, stick with Ethereum, the mining profit is just way better than any other coins right now

How can I stick with ethereum on rx560?

Here where I live I can buy 6 or 7 used RX560 instead one RX580/8GB

That depends on what the seller used the graphic cards for before selling, if he or she is a miner like yourself do not buy those cards because they might start dying on you, again RX580 is better because more cards doesn't mean more profits, rx560 has 2gb or 4gb and not Profitable for eth mining anymore

You are correct, I did the same,( with less success) as its running at 0.6 $/day and I am using it as rig filler.
Also I found some rx 550 4 gb quite cheap  and purchased one to see if I will succeed  with TRM, but I am unable to have it starting.
When it load the dag, just crashed. Now I am pimping and playing with the bios just to see if I can have it starting

GreatDev, I also do like a lot Scarlett Johansson, but I'm going out for dinner with someone else

Rx460 are pretty cheap now but the problem is their memory are pretty low, I'm guessing this is why many aren't using the gpu for mining, with lolminer I think it's possible to get 11 - 12 mh per second on the gpu with just 41watts power consumption, it's good

Cryptonight lite Algorithm is more profitable on RX550 and RX460 when mining turtle coin, have you checked this out vs cryptonight heavy Algorithm? Loki is a very good coin though, you can mine and hold for this altcoin season, the price will be good later

Exactly  ;D

RX560 cost $60-70 here, RX 580/8GB is $500-$600
