I have both cards. The Sapphire Nitro+ RX 570 4GB is a good card. It overclocks well for a 570 and runs cool. It uses a bit more power than my other 570's which are Powercolor Red Dragon's. With a simple 'one click timing patch' using Polaris Bios Editor' v1.62 from jaschaknack and a 1200 MHz core clock and 2020 MHz on the memory, I get ~28.5 MH/s and 740 MH/s dual mining DCR.
The advantage of the RX 580's over the 570's is the 580's uses faster memory, 8,000 MHz for the RX 580 vs 7,000 MHz for the RX 570, which can overclock higher. The RX 580's have better dual mining performance as well. The MSI Gaming X RX 580 8GB is a good card, but I like the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580's better. They Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580's run cooler than the MSI Gaming X RX 580 and I can overclock the memory to 2200-2250 MHz on the Sapphire vs 2100-2120 on the MSI. With the MSI I get 29.5 MH/s on ETH and 860 MH/s DCR dual mining.

New version of Afterburner v4.4.0 beta 21 is out. It increases the core undervolt limit to -200 mV for Fiji, Polaris and Vega. It's working on Windows 10 Pro v1703 with the blockchain drivers. Can anyone using the new Crimson Relive v17.10.2 drivers with the compute toggle on the Windows 10 v1709 Fall Creators update verify whether overclocking is enabled? Thanks. https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/rtss-6-7-0-beta-1.412822/page-46#post-5486250Changes list includes:
· Minimum voltage offset has been extended to -200mV for AMD Fiji and Ellesmere GPU families
· Improved drag and drop implementation for the list of active hardware monitoring graphs. Now it is possible to drag and drop items below the bottom edge of the list to move the graphs to the end of the list
· Improved multiple selection functionality in monitoring properties:
· When multiple graphs are selected you may press <Ctrl>+<M> inside group name edit field to apply group name changes synchronically to all selected graphs
· Now “Override graph name” and “Override group name” checkboxes are also affected by multiple selection functionality, so you may hold <Shift> when toggling those options to toggle it synchronically for all graphs or hold <Ctrl> when toggling those options to toggle it synchronically for all selected graphs
· Now group names support macro definitions (the same as prolog/epilog in OSD layout editor), so for example you may override group name for GPU temperature and set it to %GPU% to utomatically display your GPU name as a group name in OSD
· Added %GPU1%..%GPU8% and %FullGPU1%..%FullGPU8% macro names support for mGPU systems
· Now alarm zone is visualized on monitoring graph instead of displaying just the threshold. This simplifies visual identification of min/max thresholds
· Now you can define closed alarm range if specified maximum alarm threshold is less than minimum |

First you need to decide what to mine. The web site whatomine.com is a good place to start. Input your estimated hash rates for your 290 and the it will tell you a good coin to mine. Then go out and get the appropriate Miner software for that coin/algo. Then find a pool that supports that coin, sign up or look at their help pages. Setup your .bat file and start mining.
My main question is how do I set up the actual miner? How do I know what my estimated hashrate is? Download the Nicehash miner legacy version and run the benchmark. That will give you a good idea of your rigs hash rate for various algorithms and you can use that to calculate your profitability on whattomine.com https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy/releases |

graphics --> compute switch works fine on this driver
verified 24 -> 29 mhs for ETH on rx 480
Thanks. I'll try it again once they update Afterburner. |

but the driver is slower than blockchain driver?
because i put in on a computer 1x rx570 when blockchain driver won't run, no idea why, driver install correctly but miner close at start, looks like something is missing
i tried manually install driver, and a cleanup driver but something wrong
i have the same problem on my computer with an r9390 blockchain driver won't work
i put 17.10.2 but it s very slow 22.8mh only dual mining, lost 1mh compared to previous driver i had
No Dag fix in the 17.10.2 driver. So unless you're mining an ETH clone like UBQ or EXP, stick with the blockchain driver on v1703. Hopefully AMD will update the blockchain drivers for the Creators update. You need to change "GPU Workload" on AMD Settings: go to Gaming -> Global Settings and then for each card (you have a Global Graphics for each one) you need to change GPU Workload to "Compute" (before of that operation disable AMD Crossfire). For me work: 31Mh/s before, and 31Mh/s after... I used DDU before install new driver BBT did a clean install of the v17.10.2 driver using DDU on the 21 card Asus B250 livestream tonight and he only got 28.5 on RX 570's MH/s with UBQ. When he switched to ETH the hashrate droped to 25.5 MH/s on the AMD cards. I didn't see him try the Compute switch though. https://youtu.be/miUoqnUqk9M?t=3285 |

Great livestream. Awesome job getting a world record 21 cards working in Windows and dual minining to boot! Can't wait to see how far you can get it to go  https://youtu.be/miUoqnUqk9M?t=6140 |

As far as I know, AMD has said it would enable 12 cards this October on the biostar b250 and 19 cards on the Asus B250 mining expert on December 2017.
From the info-graphic Asus posted, the B250 mining motherboard only supports up to 11 AMD GPU's with the new Windows driver. For 19 cards in Windows, you need to use at least 8 Nvidia P106 mining cards apparently.  |

New option in Radeon Settings toggles the ability to switch to Compute/Graphics mode. Radeon Software now supports compute workloads for up to 12 installed Radeon RX 400, Radeon RX 500 or Radeon RX Vega series graphics products on Windows®10 system configurations. https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-17.10.2-Release-Notes.aspxWith their latest GPU driver, Radeon Software version 17.10.2, AMD has added support for several new features to their GPU, which includes a feature that is targeted specifically at cryptocurrency miners.
This new driver adds to Radeon Settings a new GPU workload option, which defaults to Gaming but now can be toggled to load a "Compute" mode, which is designed to offer the best performance on compute-oriented workloads, like cryptocurrency mining.
If this new function works as advertised, AMD GPUs should be able to achieve higher hash rates without much or any change in power consumption, which is great news for miners. AMD has also updated their drivers to offer support for up to 12 individual AMD GPUs (Polaris or newer) in a single system, allowing more GPUs to be connected to a single motherboard for the purposes of mining. This feature could be used for other tasks, but we all know that mining is what AMD is aiming for here. https://overclock3d.net/news/gpu_displays/amd_adds_compute_mode_and_support_for_up_to_12_different_gpus_with_their_latest_gaming_driver/1Looks like AMD is realizing GPU mining is going to be around a while |

Yes, I would assume you are correct. Also the splitter will divide the power coming from the PSU cable to each riser, so the splitter connector is where most of the load will be.

Try it without the patcher first. Some RX 580's don't need to use the pixel patcher to bypass the signature check with a modded bios. If you have a code 43 in the Windows Device Manager after flashing a modded Bios, then you need to use the pixel patcher to bypass the driver signature check.

To troubleshoot properly you need to minimize the variables to try and isolate the problem. Any time you update or reinstall the drivers, you need to do a clean install of the drivers after running DDU in safe mode to remove all the registry entries. Simply rolling back the drivers doesn't remove everything.
There is also a setting in Afterburner to 'delete saved settings from the registry'. You should have that enabled.

Thanks very much for the reply and the link to the cable chart. The cables are phobya ones i bought quite cheaply and take a 16awg 6pin cable and split it into 2x 20awg 6pin cables.
Do you know if the cards draw most of there power through the riser or its dedicated cable socket?
It depends on the card. Some cards pull more from the PCI-E x16 slot than others, theoretically up to 75W which is the spec limit. From running a dual PSU setup, where all the risers are powered by the same PSU as the motherboard and the secondary PSU only powers the VGA power on the top of the cards, my RX 570/580's pull between 40-50 W from the risers and up to 90-140 W from the VGA power inputs each when dual mining. I would imagine that GTX 1060's should pull less from the riser, since they use much less power. |

You can also do a clean install of the drivers after uninstalling them in safe mode using DDU. That will definitely reset the cards back to the default settings.

I'm using +100 MHz core clock, -500 MHz memory clock at 70% power limit with a Zotac AMP! Extreme 1070 and get ~150 MH/s. My GTX 1080 gets ~170 MH/s.

Double check the overclock and fan settings to make sure they haven't reset. You can also try draining all the capacitors by shutting down, disconnecting the power and start the system until all the power is drained.
