Not bad what is the power draw from the wall?

Have you tried to OC?

oscillates between 95-100w at the wall

memory stock is 1500

Can you say which 5600XT is? Sapphire pulse or...

yes is sapphire pulse with stok bios.

maybe try the last bios with 160tdp and high clocks , but I think it will not improve mining performance

would be interesting memory timings in 5000 series

İs it only gpu or all system?

It seems an interesting card but the hashrate looks the same as gtx 1080 but it gives you better power draw.

How about the memory type and temp of the card?

Did you try to push the memory clock more.
How about the price of the card?


My guess it's only a card not the whole system.

5600 42 mhs is not bad, slightly lower than the 5700 50 mhs, 20% difference and price is around 20% difference too, apples to apples this is okay, in my view, 5700 is more cost efficient.

All this is great but what about pos?  Any idea on a date?  I have cheap electricity and would buy a lot but with pos looming i can't justify it.

if amd wants their 5500, 5600, 5700 to be out of stock, they just need to pump cryptocoins 700%, easy hehe, the corporativism crypto price manipulation might be just around the corner but i would buy coins at this moment.

PoS? Proof of stake aint coming that soon, but as it does change from my understanding it will be phased in (hybrid - bit of both). Unfortunately its the value of crypto being so low right now that will take much longer to return on the investment. Your call.

I think the 5600 cards will be nicely placed for AMD friendly algo's, but they need to be around the £200 mark rather than the launch price of £270 that we are seeing.

Disclaimer: Numbers may vary from card to card and miner to miner.
I'm using '5700' numbers applicable to me and '5600XT' numbers provided in the screenshot by the OP. Rounded.
Electricity $0.30 kW (This is much more than for most people.)
Stock bios.
The 111W used is my "worst" performing card. They can go 10% lower in some cases.
________________________________________________________________


5600XT
75W / 42Mh = 1.785714285714286 Watt per Mh
1.785WMh / 1000 = 0.001785 kW per Mh
0.001785 * $0.30 = $0.0005355 per Mh

Validation test
$0.00005355 * 42 = $0.0225 per hour
$0.30 * 0.075kW = $0.0225 per hour

--------------------------------------------------------

5700 non-XT
111W / 53Mh = 2.094339622641509 Watt per Mh
2.094WMh / 1000 = 0.002094 kW per Mh
0.002094 * $0.30 = $0.000628 per Mh

Validation test
$0.0006282 * 53Mh = $0.0333 per hour
$0.30 * 0.111kW = $0.0333 per hour

--------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------

Result
5600XT: $0.0005355 per Mh running cost
5700 non-XT: $0.000628 per Mh running cost
If all these numbers leave you confused at this point, the 5600XT here is better performance. But mind the disclaimer!

NOTE!
Something I didn't include in the calculation is the power used by the fans.
Why is this important?
A blower Fan will easily add another 23 Watt to the power consumption. (30W peak)
For the other fans you'd have to look it up. I personaly would add another 5 Watt per fan in the calculation on average.


If you want to do your own calculations:
Power_consumption / Mh = A
A / 1000 = B
B * Electricity_cost = X

Yeah it will be hybrid at least for few years, so there is a litlebit of mining still top go.

Good news but are they switching to prgpow?  Its temping to buy an eth ASIC but they are pretty expensive.

Buying an ETh asic is most riskiest as buying an asic miner. You better get Latest BTC miner, which would be much safer. 

What about the having?  Looks like the newest ant miner will be making zero once the reward is cut in half. 

It is cut on half every 4 years. It was cut on half just after Antminer S9 released, and it was still profitable for another 3 years. Technically long term Bitcoin price should increase unless demand stays the same or more. Simple math. Less daily supply should push price up.

Would be way cheaper for them to just unlock bios so that we could play with timings
Imagine 5700 with 60+ MH/s or even more (RX580 gains were close to 50% modified vs unmodified BIOS)

Have you tried mining Cryptonight-GPU (Ryocurrency) with 5600XT?, I think you can get better hashrate on it with this card.

Lol, so true. AMD's inventory would be cleared overnight if a crypto moon wave begun. People would be hoovering up all them 5600's to make a rig.

what the best algo for 5600XT-5700XT?

Memory hard algorithms , Ethash. Best coins to mine probably will be ETH and ETC.

Have you tried to modify RX5600XT BIOS memory timing ?

Hi.
Has anyone tried mining with Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT BE? https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/pulse-radeon-rx-5600-xt-be-6g-gddr6 (https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/pulse-radeon-rx-5600-xt-be-6g-gddr6)
Compared to regular Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT, BE version have lower boost clock and no Quick Connect Fan / Dual BIOS.
I am planning to build a rig with 6x RX 5600XT and this Sapphire Pulse RX 5600 XT BE is the cheapest one I could find in my country.
Which one would you recommend to buy?

No, this was my friend's GPU, I didn't try to modifiy the timings.

I think the BE also has not as robust cooling. Might be worth the extra cost for the better cooling on the non-BE version.

hi any bios mod is done on these 5600xt? i got an xfx one and its hashing 40.1 at 90w, with tuning on hiveos but stock bios

Only way to mod RX 5600XT i have been successful by modding  same manufacturer bios on it but different series.
Some bios are slower then others for RX 5600XT
On sapphire pulse which was stock bios max hash was 40mh , then used Sapphire pulse BE bios and got the hash up to 43mh/s
Like the timings editing really doe not work, it bricks the bios. It makes me think that we need different tools for editing.

Is it safe to flash the gpu BIOS with the BIOS of another model?

RTX 3080 will cost 2,5x more than RX 5600XT and I doubt it will give 2,5x higher hashrate and have better power consumption.
I will consider it when someone test it.

I see you undervolt core to 680mv. The lowest I can uv in windows 10 with my MSI 5600xt MECH is 800mv. Did you flash your bios with lower voltage limit? Or is it stock?

Very strange, the lowest Windows allows me to undervolt is to 800mv, but I can get 700mv in Hive OS. This is all with stock bios as 5600xt bios cannot be modded, you can try it and in windows you get an error and you also get an error in hive OS (5700xt easy to bios mod)

Maybe that program OverDriveNTool bypasses the 800mv windows limit somehow, I might try that

Also WTF is up with these 5600xt hashrates? This pic shows 42.75mhs at 1850mem clock, yet I can only hit 40.5mhs at 1860mem clock (core doesn't make a difference for me)

Sofar I've only heard of people able to change lowest possible voltages in bios but not clocks or straps.

switched to hiveos, was able to lower it to 650mv. core 1100 mem 1880. stock bios and getting 41mhs. Much better in linux than windows. And because of lower voltage, the gddr6 memory runs a lot cooler, ~85c, which allows me to push the mem clock higher. In windows, I can only do 1780 stable @  measly 38-39mhs.

Hi

@jsanzsp ¿Amd version drivers, please? I cant get your results. More in line with @Truthchunter.

I have a Sapphire Pulse 5600XT purchased a few days ago. AMD drivers 20.8.1. Windows 10.

Main problem is OverdriveNTool 0.2.9 cant change GPU core voltage. No way. I can push up mem frec to 1860 (as Truthchunter, 40.5 MHs, no more). But using "power limit" (-38) i can decrease GPU mvolts to 800. Again as Truthchunter.

This means i get 95w-99w for the 5600XT at software level (not at the wall). This is far from 680 mv... 75w.

@jsanzsp may you help us?

With MorePowerTool you can decraese the core voltage below 800mv (at least for 5700, for 5600 should be the same).

Thanks. I tried MorePowerTool. I have it installed at rig. But I can't do anything with it. It recognises the 5600XT card, but all options are grayed, disabled. I think is not compatible with 5600XT, only with 5700XT, but not sure (maybe I am not able to use it properly).

Just load your 5600 BIOS into MorePowerTool and it will became active.

Thanks!. I was able to use SPPT to undervolt a bit more my GPU. Now I am at 743 mv.

Looking for a good set of values for my Sapphire 5600XT Pulse  :)

Why I cant change settings for the same card sapphire 5600XT pulse? I cant undervolt with overdriveN tool as you can.

Here are some modded bios for RX 5600XT , you can load these bios on different GPU brands https://youtu.be/tvmutIkbNIs (https://youtu.be/tvmutIkbNIs)

Does your video card have an original BIOS?
Try try another version OverdriveNTool 0.2.9
In this mode, the video card consumes 90-95 watts
You can also try another program AMD.Memory.Tweak.XL

Yes Bios is original because the card is new. I will try.
