Title: Asus RX580 ROG Strix Gaming TOP OC / ETH very low hashrate
Post by: RessaX on January 02, 2018, 10:05:29 AM
Recently I've build a computer for both personal use and mining purposes. I've installed the latest driver for the graphics card, also other drivers for my motherboard which is Asus ROG Strix X370-F Gaming. I'm using Ryzen 1700 and 8GB 3000 Mhz (running on 2400) HyperX RAM. GPU has a Hynix memory. My settings are below, but somehow I'm getting really bad hashrates. Can someone help me to figure out this problem? I made some research about this graphics card but it seems I've the lowest hashrate. If i hit "+" button in Claymore miner for 30 dcri I get 17.5 Mh/s for 100 dcri I  get 19 Mh/s. I don't want to flash the BIOS (I think there must be another problem at least I should see 22+ and I would be happy with it). So what can cause this problem except not flashing the BIOS. As far as I can see, similar and even low profile cards in stock mode are getting better results.

My Claymore bat file is this:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Switch your driver to compute mode?

I didn't know that there is an option for this. That really helped, thank you!. Now it's 22.5 Mh/s. Is this a limit for this card or I can improve this without flashing BIOS?

You can only OC memory, or try to play with -dcri value

Also, try to put -asm 2 in command line, works better for some cards

yes you can flash bios and get it upto 30mhs
and memory oc also plays an a part in increasing hashrate

Interestingly, if I increase OC memory even slightly, hashrate drops drastically. I tried increasing dcri in the compute mode, it didn't help (which is interesting too because it was helping in gaming mode). Also -asm 2 gave 16 Mh/s too. I couldn't understand this card, it should be very similar with other RX580's. I think I'm still missing some point, maybe voltage/power? It would be great if someone who has the same card gives an answer.

What kind of memory do you have? You should really think about modding memory straps to really push the most amount of MH/s

I have Hynix memory. I'm using my computer for working too, if I mod the BIOS other working performence will go down and I don't want to flash it everytime (don't know if this is a good/bad thing to do). So, I want to hit the best score that I can without flashing the BIOS. I wonder if 22.5 Mh/s is the limit, I think it shouldn't be. I tried some overclocking settings but never managed to go further.

I have had a similar issue. The blackdhain driver from AMD had a bug which made that I lost at least 4MH.

I uninstalled the AMD driver and loaded the beta version of the blockchain that has been released by AMD.
