When the AMD 500 series came out, I bought up a number of 470 8g cards in desperation. Most of my experience has been with Sapphire nitro+ rx 470 8g cards, and in my haste I bought a number of Sapphire nitro rx 470 8g {not the + version} and so far I have come to the conclusion that they suck ass. I can't seem to mod the bios without them not responding, and almost any moves I make with voltages makes them unstable. I have read this whole forum and saw that others have had these same issues, but I didn't find any clear success stories either. There was a lot of talk mid to late last year about these cards, so I am hoping someone has figured out a way to get these cards up to 27-28 MH/s with a wattage lower than what I am getting at 24 MH/s. Any real life solutions are appreciated. I simply want them stable and using less power at an average hash rate. I am not looking for miracles, but perhaps a bit of hope would be nice. I have spent hours and hours trying to get these cards to a better level of performance to no avail. I appreciate any consideration.
How many do you have? 18, and I still can't seem to get a good set up for them. The most I can get is 24 mh/s per card with 6 cards pulling 1000W, but I really want 27-28 mh/s like the nitro+ cards if possible. Any thoughts? What memory type? Here is what the cards are: Card name: Radeon (TM) RX 470 Graphics GPU: Ellesmere Device Id: 1002-67DF : 174B-E353 Die Size: 232 mm² Bus Interface: PCI-Express x16 3.0 @ x1 1.1 Memory Size: 8192 MB Memory Type: GDDR5 Memory Bus Width: 256 bit ROPs: 32 Shaders: 2048 Unified / DirectX 12 (12_0) Driver Version: 21.19.164.257 Crimson 16.11.5 BIOS Version: 015.050.000.000.000000 BIOS Part Number: 113-2E353BU.O4I UEFI Support: Yes

I would greatly appreciate it, and would love to learn how to donate to your efforts. Not sure how to send BTC to your address, but I will figure it out. You would be a real blessing in my life and save me from having to swear for hours on end, thereby making my wife happy as well.

I was able to mod this cards to work smooth 1170/2050@0.9v ->70w gpu-z. The speed is slightly more 29mhs eth. I think I could do better but don't want to waste whole farm time for experiments - pity I have no standalone test system yet Please share your speeds and settings after Wolf's mod

I recently just got 6 MSI ARMOR 470 4GBs with samsung memory and a tb250-btc. 1200w hp server psu(for cards) and a 600w(for mobo and risers). Currently getting 28.5 steady on claymore 9 on smOS. Eth only. Stock bios other than 1625 copied on up. Memory currently at 2025 and power level 5. Steady 170mhs (28.3-28.5 per card) http://imgur.com/a/LNJEuhttp://imgur.com/a/vohId http://imgur.com/a/yuftYcore clock and voltage? driver version? with claymore's miner? thanks

Hey guys, I'm wondering what 470 4 gig or 480 4 gig cards people are buying these days. I have a few 470's I had ages ago but everywhere I search these days they are out of stock or no longer selling them. I'm in the process of setting up a 6 card system and just wanted some advice on current cards you can buy from Amazon or NewEgg that get anywhere in the range of 27-29 depending on card.
Yes this thread has a lot of posts but most pointing to cards you cannot get anymore.
Cheers!

You can buy the 570/580 if you can get hold of them.

Got some RX470 4G Nitro+ with Elpida memory on 'em.
strapped 1500 all the way to 2000. The max I can overclock the memory is around 1850-1875. Above that, memory errors will start to show in hwinfo. Not sure why everyone is saying Elpida is great tbh. With hynix memory I can O/C the memory past 2000 without any hardware errors.
Quite disappointed with those Elpidas :-/

In practice some memory errors aren't a deal breaker. I run my Elpida's at 1925 and though they do generate some memory errors in HWMonitor, they hash just fine, and pool rate matches reported. And they are just a notch below my Hynix cards in terms of overclockability, and still better than samsungs.

The elpidas on my 570's also hang above ~1860mhz (or blackscreen if you have a monitor connected)

If it's like 100 over an entire day of mining, it's alright. But so far it was like 5 errors per second. Still trying to find the best timings on those cards. Seems like they are OK hashing at 27.6MH/s without errors with 1375 timing and memory at 1895mhz. As soon as I break the 1900 barrier they start throwing a lot of errors.
