Title: Help first time miner
Post by: jman1111 on January 29, 2020, 02:35:42 AM
Hello,
I'm new to mining and wanted to start mining ethereum . Does anyone have advice?  I' am using one rx 570 AMD graphic card to start off. The platform I'm using is phoenix mining/ethermining.org

Can anyone help me in why this card is putting out 10.543 MH/s but it's capable of reaching 20.000 MH/s. In order to reach that amount of MH/s what is one suppose to do?



Any information would be great!

Thanks for reading!

Depends on what miner you are using first.
Also it depends on what and how your settings are in the command line or the start.bat
Some little changes can have a big effect on your Hashrate or how good your GPU is mining .
Use the search function on the top right maybe somebody has a good config for you .
I just use Nvidia GPU.

Maybe this thread helps you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1848789.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1848789.0)

I hope you're using latest version of the AMD Graphics driver.
In that, Go to Radeon Settings and change the workload to Compute mode. (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/dh-024) This will improve the hash rate significantly.
Then, find out the memory vendor of the card using GPU-z software.
According to that, find a mining bios and flash it to improve the hash rate further. Don't forget to backup your original bios before performing this step.
