Title: Powersave BIOS for Sapphire RX470 Nitro (non+) 4gb?
Post by: mopsthegreat on September 19, 2017, 11:16:51 AM
Hey @ all

I tested some bios settings. With these Settings here im getting 26,5 Mhs in Eth and 480Mhs in LBC in Dual Mining.
Out of the Wall the GPU consumes ~137 watt in EthOS.
But a few months ago my GPU consumed only ~70watt out of the wall in Windows (Claymore, Radeon Driver and Trixx) in Eth. In Trixx you can minus the gpu voltage. In HwInfo i could see that the voltage is on 0,8v for the memory.
So I put the Settings in the BIOS but the GPU consumes more watt. How can I save more power to grow the efficiency?

Here are my Settings:

Can anybody tell me what settings do I need for Save more power? It should be possible, that the GPU only needs less then ~100w?
It would make me so happy if someone could help me, thanks!

best regards

Windows 10 Latest Version --> Latest Blockchain AMD Drivers --> Claymore v10.0 --> Set Core clock and Memory clock using -clock and -mclock in Claymore --> Set Core voltage and Memory voltage using -cvddc and -mvddc. You'll be back to your previous power consumption. (Note: Don't forget to bios mod GPUs).

Thank you for your answer :)
But ive got 9 gpus. It isnt possible to use 9 gpus in windows. Is there a version for linux? Is it possible now in claymore for linux (like ubuntu) to use -cvddc, -mvccd, -clock and -mclock ?
Is the last Blockchain AMD Driver out for Linux?

I don't think the Blockchain driver is out for Linux, but tbh I've seen many miners migrating to Windows just because of this issue.

choose new Kernel and its done!

Thx to gstoner from ROCm Github.
