Generally speaking, ETH should be the most profitable with AMD but you could always check www.whattomine.com (http://www.whattomine.com)

ETH isn't always THE most profitable coin to mine on RX 470 cards, but it's usually one of the top 2 or 3 and the others don't tend to be a LOT better for very long if at all.

Don't ask about "for AMD" or "for Nvidia" though, different models VARY - for a specific example, ZEC right now is a LOT more profitable on my R9 280x cards than ETH, while my R9 290 cards are a lot more profitable on ETH - even though both cards are "same generation" and very close on performance for a lot of usage, for mining usage the differences are CRITICAL.

As another example, the GTX 1080 is WORSE at mining ETH than the GTX 1070, but better at mining ZEC - for a 1070 ETH and ZEC can be very close on profitability (depends on how hard you push the card on the ZEC side and to some degree on the specific card itself) but for a 1080 ZEC wins hands-down at ANY settings.

ETC most of the time.

sia should also be a good way to mine until the asic miner will take it over !

SIA is mined by ASICs now. There is no point in mining it with GPUs anymore  :P. Cryptonight coins are nice for AMD

ETH must be most profitable for you. But best way is to use whattomine service. There you can check yours card in all GPUs algorithm

I stick with ETH as well because AMD seems almost to be built for dagger hashimoto. It's reliable and I never run into any problems with it.
Truthfully, calculating profitability will always end up inconclusive. Cryptocurrency is volatile, you are better off mining a coin that you believe in that has a bright future because the value will constantly change.

ETH or ETC coins. for GPUs, you can modify bios or OC to increase a hash rate but be careful with Memory Clock not too high that causes RIG becomes crash or freeze.

 Too late, Bitmain appears to already be shipping theirs.
