Getting 18mh/s on Claymore, mining ETH only?!

[ckacmaster]

 I'm relatively new to mining, but I'm well versed in hardware and software related to AMD cards.

I purchased a new RX 480 not too long ago and was very excited to start mining. I loaded up windows 10 on a Dell workstation and fired it up. Installed the related drivers then got a Code 43 error which I realize now could have been fixed easily. I then switched to Linux and started mining at 26mh/s. I then wanted to switch to windows for overclocking purposes. I switched to windows 7, installed the proper drivers and fixed the code 43 error with the patcher. I then decided to flash a different VBIOS to the card without saving the original.

I'm currently on Windows 7, with AMD's 17.##.1 drivers. I have flashed the RX480.air VBIOS to the card and have no troubles getting it to comply with the drivers. My problem is that when I turn on Claymore'a miner and overclock with the MSI Afterburner, the card gets a maximum hashrate of ~18.700mh/s. I'm in need of some guidance here, I know the card has the potential to reach up to 31mh/s. I have the memory at 2200mhz, the core at 1200mhz and 150% power settings.

I would like to achieve over 24mh/s ideally.


Thanks in advance.

Use Claymore to adjust your clock speed and over/undervolt and lower both sets of timing (you are running at 1200/2200 try 1150/2150 and adjust from there with 850 cclock 850 mclock)

you just dowloaded a bios and flashed to you card did you checked the bios version number ? the one you had on your card it was the same as the bios your downloaded and flashed what kind of card you have ? its a reference card ? what brand ? its a 4GB or 8GB version

Yeah, not the best decision I've made for sure, didn't check bios number at all.

I don't know if it's a reference card.. AMD Radeon RX480 8GB

Thanks a million! Getting 28Mh/s stable on the modded BIOS. Though when I try to overclock, I get some incorrect shares.
