If afterburner not working for you it might be because of drivers. Try sapphire TRIXX instead.

Mining of Altcoin is not so profitable for the present situation but if you hold this mined coin for a longer period of time say, atleast 3 years then harvest good profit and huge.
Why not? I am mining altcoins with a rig of 10 GPUs and on average I make 20$ per day meaning 600 per month. Rig cost me about 4000$ and in reality I am making more money. for example before the nicehash hack I received a payout of 148$ which in a matter of days turned into 230$. hence I think mining altcoins is still profitable until the burst of the bubble... whenever that may be.... |

WEll, a bit of a mea culpa for me. I actually looked up the SKU for my card and found out it has switch to select between two BIOS profiles: gaming and mining. So, flipped it over to mining and voila, now it is churning out 24.8 MH/s without any overclocking at all. Power consumption dropped quite a bit, too - now at 300W. I'm happy enough with this that I don't think I'll mess with it for at least a day...  change your bios and you should reach about 31ish.... https://anorak.tech/ |

Hi, Personally, I would suggest building a rig, so, there's a lot to learn with building this type of rig. A good place to start is to have a look at some videos at the BitsBeTrippin youtube channel. There are some videos there that will show you how he goes through building a rig. Hopefully that will help you get started. 1stminingrig on YouTube is also a good starting point. as well as this site http://1stminingrig.com/category/tutorials/The most complicated for newbies in my opinion is the more or less compulsory BIOS mod of the GPU cards. A good entry point is this https://anorak.tech/ Because GPUs are the most expensive part in any rig this is the most scary part for newbies. |

I also have this switch on my sapphire RX580 nitro+ special ed. but it changes between silent and overclocking mode. nevertheless, no risk no fun and between 23 and 31 mh/s is quite a difference particularly if you have 10 cards like me in one rig. you will find a tested BIOS here https://anorak.tech/Moreover don't forget that undervolt and overclock memory is almost exclusively possible only with modded bios. |

@mikbal
Have you installed the new drivers? afterburner working for you?

I have 3 Sapphire Nitro+ RX 570 8GB (Samsung memory) and I am about to pull 29-29.5 dual mining DCR.
My dual mining average hash rate for ETH is 176mh/s and DCR is 3.8GH/s.
I did a Bios mod on the graphics cards after I backed up each of the memory just in case I needed to restore the original back on it.
I used Polaris One Click Bios to change the memory straps and then put that Bios back onto the card. (You need to only have 1 card plugged in at a time when re-flashing the cards so you can make sure you are changing the bios on the correct card since you said you had 12)
After you save your original Bios, make sure to move the switch on your card before uploading new Bios to card. (near the top, google it for pics)
Use the - or + while in claymore mining and you can change the dcri and find you sweet spot and also change your card clock settings using OverDrivenTool or through the Claymore config file.
good luck.
Man I need to know somethin, you're pulling 176 mh/s out of 3 RX580? That would be a whopping 58,67 mh/s per card.... Everybody on this planet succeeds in squeezing about 31 mh/s out of the RX580 hence I'd be interested to learn how you manage to squeeze out almost twice as much? |

This driver increases performance in games and not in mining! Why test fate? The driver page does not say anything about using it in the mining.
17.11.4 also didn't say anything about mining but those drivers work well.... except that afterburner didn't work with that driver.... |

My sapphire RX580 8GB out of the box gave around 24 mh/s and after bios mod and afterburner settings around 31. This is with hynix memory. a colleague is using the 4 GB variant and he says he got approx 30 per card. So not a big difference although I can't prove it. Maybe look for a BIOS mod for your card here? https://anorak.tech/ |

It is very best miner for cryptonight algo IMHO. I mine with it electroneum now
AMDXMR Miner gives me better results.... I mine ETN and KRB with this depending on profit for each coin. https://www.amdxmrminer.com/downloads/ |

It is recommended not to buy the standard variant of these cards but the overclocked version. For example sapphire RX580 nitro+ special or limited edition as the chips used for these are selected and thus you stand a better chance with them for mining. I have for example 6 Sapphire RX580 nitro special edition with 8 GB hynix memory and modded bios. I run them at GPU 1150 and MEM at 1200, voltage - 30 and powerlimit - 7. They are running stable at 64 degrees and produce 31 h/s ethash and 840 h/s on cryptonight.

That is not entirely correct. The RX500 series are good for a number of algorithms. Good for example for cryptonight (XMR, ETN) and Ethash (various coins). However any Coin fluctuates and there is always a risk. I would say the AMDs are more versatile than the Nvidias. But that largely depends what you believe in more....

Can anybody confirm afterburner is working with these drivers? With my present drivers 17.11.4 (as with previous 17.11.3, 2 and 1) afterburner did nit work and I had to rely on somewhat buggy Sapphire TRIXX.

Let me think this through... you sre planning to build something that "they call a rig"? But you know for sure that the MoBo and GPUs you have chosen are the best? And you are asking for advice about CPU/RAM/Risers/switches and cables? Seems to me you know nothing but you pregend to know about Mobo and GPU... I suggest you start reading first....
You need MoBo, cheap celeron CPU, 8 GB Ram, SSD or HD with min 128 GB, USB risers number equal to number of GPU, power supply at least 1200W (corsair, evga, etc) with enough connectors/cables for your GPUs, Win10 64 (or linux), drivers for your GPUs, a monitor and an internet connection. and of course the housing for all your hardware (what "they call a rig"). when you got all that put the things together, power up and install the software. Download a miner for XMR and start mining.

Moreover you all need to consider the small miner payout schedule of around 1 week... Something goes wrong you loose whatever you have mined during 1 week in the worst case. I have changed to an Electroneum pool where I get paid to my wallet every hour. Unless Nicehash changes something about that I will definitely not be going back. How do ya all see that? I lost about 90 USD due to this security breach....
Most mining pools that I know have minimum payouts of like $200-300, to reach that I need way longer than a week. The pool I'm mining XMR on is paying out at 0.3. My 6 gpu rig is doing over 0.1 per day, so I'm getting paid out roughly every three days. I was paid by nicehash every week or even later. Now I am mining Electroneum and I get paid constantly every hour or so... This in my opinion is less risky. I lost sbout 90 USD due to the nicehash hack. So why go back to them if they reappear? |

Problem with your virtual memory settings in windows I would say. Cou should set your virtual memory in WIN according to the memory of your GPUs. I have 10 GPUs with each 8 GB in my rig hence my virtual memory size is set to 80 GB.

How many and which GPUs? Which driver version? settings? I am getting 830-840 h/s per RX580 card and my rig with 10 cards average 8350 h/s. Win10 64, AMD drivers 17.11.4 using AMDXMR Miner ( https://www.amdxmrminer.com/downloads/). Modded BIOS, GPU/MEM 1150/2150, voltage -30, powerlimit -7. |

I would say you have a driver problem and your number of ADL devices dont match the OpenCL devices. Probably the Intel HD Graphics 610 is causing this...
