I tried plugging pcie riser to pci slot and killed my rx 480 8gb  ( /slitwrists That's an expensive lesson to learn. PCI-E and PCI slots are NOT the same! Sorry. |

Mining is profitable and Crypto is a rapidly growing asset class. How long mining remains profitable in both the short and long term depends on many factors, most of which are unpredictable. Current ROI on a RX 580 rig is about 6 months. That timeframe could certainly change, so as long as you are OK with that, IMO mining is a worthwhile investment. Managing a farm of that size is not a simple task, even for someone with experience. I would suggest doing your own research and starting off with just a couple of rigs at first until you get an understanding of what you are getting in to before diving in head first.

I'm only getting 24.x MH/s with the Arorak memshift ROMs. I get 27.x with the powersave ROM (and on less power too) so that's what I'm going with. That's no better than my 570s and one of my 570s actually does 1 MH/s more.
The RX 570/580 have pretty much the same hashrate for mining ETH. The benefit of the RX 580's is better dual mining performance. My RX 570' can only go up to -dcri 26 before it lowers the ETH hash rate and get 28.5-29 MH/s ETH + 740 MH/s dual mining DCR. With the RX 580 I can go up to -dcri 32 and get 945 MH/s dual mining DCR. I would try the PolarisBiosEditor v1.6 'one-click timing patch' bundled performance strap. With the PBE bundled strap, 1150 MHz core clock, 2050 MHz memory clock, -96 mV underclcok and -15% power limit in Afterburner I get 29.5 MH/s ETH and 945 MH/s DCR dual mining on a Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB with 125-145W shown in GPU-Z. https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor |

I would definitely go with the Saphhire Nitro+ RX 580's if you don't have to wait too long to get them. The RX 580 has better dual mining performance, with 36 compute units compared to 32 for the RX 570. IMO, Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580's are also one of the best mining cards. They have very good cooling, a dual bios and run STABLE at 1115 MHz core clock and 2250 MHz memory overclock using Anorak's bios mod. I like the MSI RX GAMING X series cards, but the MSI RX 570 GAMING X 4GB is an entry level card with a cheaper build quality and no backplate.
I just bought two Sapphire RX 580 4GB Nitro+'s. Dual BIOS means it has a switch, right? I don't see a switch on mine. Is it only the 8GBs that have the switch? AFAIK, All Nitro+ cards have a dual Bios. My Nitro+ RX 570 4GB does. The switch is located at the opening on the backplate closest to the ports.  |

Thanks! So I will power it directly from the PSU, as I have one 6+2 connector unused.
Should I also plug in the molex into the motherboard?
Technically if you are using powered risers it's not necessary to use the motherboard PCI-E supplemental power. If you have multiple cards, some motherboards won't boot without the 4-pin molex supplemental power connected. If you are only using one card, I would say try it without the molex connector first and see if it boots. |

Windows 10 RDP has functionality issues with miners. I prefer Team Viewer, which allows full control as well as file transfer and is free for personal use. It also has smartphone apps for on the go access.

Windows 10 v1703
8 RX 580 Gaming-X 8GB (Hynix)
Asus Prime Z270 P
Claymore 9.8
In june with my rig i got 240 MH/s to 242 MH/s, i change nothing and now, 3 month later the MH/s drop 230 MH/s, i tried aug 23 blockchain driver, the result, i got 248 MH/s, but unfortunately i met issue with stabilty not good.
On this topic I read this "It should be higher. Try increasing the -ethi to 8. My eight card mixed RX 570/570 4GB/8GB rig is getting 28.5 to almost 30 MH/s dual mining UBQ."
What is this setting? -ethi to 8
It's the ETH instensity. The command line options are listed in the readme and the OP. Hello Vann, this setting is not specified actually in my bat, do you think it can be change something if i had it? It depends on the card what seting gives the best result. The default value is 8. Only way to know is to add it and try different values. |

No have people here who have Vega 64  pls share hashrate - real hashrate Those numbers have been posted a number of times already. I'm running vega FE (essentially RX Vega 64) and I can hold a constant 42.1Mh/s if weather permits. My house is over 45C inside right now, so i've got mine turned down to keep temps in check. AFAIK, the Vega FE is a Workstation card that uses a different 'HBC' memory caching system, intended to work with large files in memory compared to the gaming cards which are optimized to produce the highest frame rates. The underlying architecture may be the same, but they are definitely not the same cards. Which is also why the Workstation cards cost almost double what the Vega gaming do. https://pro.radeon.com/en-us/product/radeon-vega-frontier-edition |

with the updated version of Polaris Bios Editor using the supplied timings instead of copying the 1500 timings I get roughly 0.2 - 0.4mh more per card
There appears to be two versions of Polaris Bios Editor V1.6 ? The one from https://github.com/jaschaknack/PolarisBiosEditor has the "One Click Timing Patch" option and the other has the option "Apply Ubermix 3.1 Samsung Timings" - both say they they are version 1.6. I've been using the "Ubermix" version with no problems - can't remember where I downloaded it from. Does anynoe know what the difference between the 'One Click' and the 'Ubermix' timing are ? I'll have a go myself and see if I can spot anything - I may be some time figuring this out. There are different forks of PBE listed on http://www.overclock.net/t/1604567/polaris-bios-editing-rx5xx-rx4xxThe jaschaknack PBE v1.6 is the most updated version. The 'one click timing patch' includes the Ubermix v3.1 Samsung timing as well as performance straps for other memory types. It depends on the memory type/types detected on which performance strap is applied. |

Wow !!?! So I presume I use ATIwin , save my original bios , run it through PBE , it produces a modded bios , use ATIwin to flash the modded one ? Yes. Just give the modded Bios a new name when saving it so you don't overwrite the original. You also need to run Atiwinflash as an administrator. I would suggest removing all the other cards from the PCI-E slots and leaving just the card you want to flash to make sure it's the right card. Wait for Atiwinflash to finish and only reboot when it says you can. With most cards, you also may need to use the pixel patcher after modding the Bios to bypass the signature check when using a modded Bios. https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-PatcherPerfect thank you I shall give it a try, I presume that 1.6 does not just copy the memory strap and paste it above? No. The one click timing patch option applies the bundled performance timings according to the memory type detected for your card. |

"whattomine dot com" just insert the number of cards you got, you're much better off with a PPLNS pool and not a zero variance solo mining as someone above suggested i think if you don't have many cards at the moment.
S.
Except a PPLNS pool isn't solo mining. Ethpool makes it much more predictable as to when when you will receive a full block payout, rather than just blindly solo mining ETH on your own with 124 MH/s. |
