Title: What to tune on 4 RX 580 8GB to be more profitable with ETH? Post by: voriand on September 01, 2017, 09:16:53 AM Hi All!
I have my 4 "Asus RX 580 8GB GDDR5 - ROG-STRIX-RX580-O8G-GAMING" GPU running ETH mining using ethOS, and got my statistics back for the last 24 hours. Well I'm a little bit dissapointed... The numbers aren't very great. The average hashrate is 90Mh/s, so if the rig is mining in the next 30 days, at the end I will have approx. 0.5 ether, which is not much... How can I tune it? Or am I missing something? Thx :) Title: Re: What to tune on 4 RX 580 8GB to be more profitable with ETH? Post by: voriand on September 01, 2017, 06:45:36 PM So basically my question is: how can I maximize the profit? Dual mining, undervoltage (for the lower electricity bill, but does it even make any big difference?), overclocking... What is the best technique for 4 GPU? Thx :)

ETH mining is heavly VRAM intensive. That means that you need to overclock the gpu memory as high as possible and use custom timings. In order to decrease power consuption, you should also underclock and undervolt the GPU core speed. With 4 gpu's you should have something near 120MHs Check the last pages of this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1758267.0 and also search the forum for more on this subject Title: Re: What to tune on 4 RX 580 8GB to be more profitable with ETH?

Because with 120Mhs I still doesn't get much after 1 month, sadly it's not a significant growth :( 1kWh cost here approx. $0.077 BTW.

Because I dual-mine with Decred, I also make 2 DCR every month at the cost of more electricity. Because yours is cheap, try to dual-mine ETH with decred using claymore's dual-miner.
As an alternative, you can try to mine other coins. For example, at the time of this post, ethereum classic or monero can give you a better profit than ethereum.

Check https://whattomine.com/ Where do you convert these coins? Is it even possible? (I have right now only Kraken account) Is it possible to dual mine with ethOS without any extra fees or system crash? |
