Standard Settings
Constant 11.++MH/s
Was hoping to get 15MHs unfortunately averaging about 11
Running on an CPU : i5 2300 RAM : 8GB DDR3 HDD : 120GB SSD
Temperature : 75
Will be returning this cards and get RX 480 instead.

I am currently running dual RX 460 on a rig and to my surprise I have been getting a constant 23.xxxmh compare to my single Rx480 where it spike from 15.xxmhs to 40.xxmhs.
seems the RX 460 gives a more stable output.

I'm glad I didn't purchase a RX 460 then, 11MH/s is not very impressive considering the RX 470 is not much more expensive.

I havent tried 470. Likely i will return the 460 for the 470. My 480 is giving me around 23 to 26. If 470 can give me 21 then i will switch all to 470 i guess....

Your 460 had 2GB or 4GB RAM? I'm guessing 2..

I was anticipating this one to hash at 13MH/s out of the box with half the memory bit lane while slightly higher on memory clock speeds vs. the 470. And 15 MH/s OC I am currently running dual RX 460 on a rig and to my surprise I have been getting a constant 23.xxxmh compare to my single Rx480 where it spike from 15.xxmhs to 40.xxmhs.
seems the RX 460 gives a more stable output.
You mean to say a single RX480 gives you a few fluke hashes at 40?

It's 4gb... At this point I don't think it makes much difference between the 2 or 4

But I have low at 15 at times. 460 deliver constant 12.xx and which makes me feel that this card is greatly hold back and that's why it can drive a constant MH where as 480 is push to certain aspect. In consistency I mean 98% of the time

If you are getting 11-12MH/s that is to be expected with the memory on the RX 460 you would have to get over 2000Mhz to get to 14-15 MH/s with an RX 460 and who knows if you will ever be able to oc your memory that much. Also since their isn't a reference RX 470 at the moment for $150 your choices are really the RX 460 or the RX 480 4GB version for mining. AMD is messing with the driver at the moment to by limiting the overclocks on memory, which is a change in the 16.8.1 driver release but only for the 480's, imo to protect the RX 480 from the RX 470 which holds basically the same performance as the RX 480. The RX 470 was a terrible release with no reference release cards at all so you'll pay the more or really the same as an RX 480.

I paid 180 for my 4GB Red Devil RX 470. I think prices will come down in a few weeks once everybody stocks up and the release craze is over.

HD 7870 manages about 11 MH/s - and costs a LOT less usually than an RX 460 - but DOES eat more power. Looks like the RX470 or 480 (depending on what price you can get each at) is the new "sweet spot".

That one is the only one I say that wasn't really overpriced and that is only because of the cooler that PowerColor decided to put on it but I think the ref. blower is fine for the RX 470.

Did you OC the memory on the HD 7870 cause my HD 7850 does 13 MH/s and 12.5 with claymores dual miner with eth+sc

I'm pretty sure I have memory and core overclocked, but don't remember what settings I was using. I did NOT have the ability to undervolt that card, as I never found any LINUX-based voltage control software for HD7xxx series stuff.
Academic right now, as the card got replaced by one of my R9 280x and is sitting in the box as a "spare" after the motherboard in one of my older machines DIED on me during the move.
Other difference is I was using qtminer, I was never able to even DOWNLOAD claymore as the site they host on was INACCESSABLE where I lived before - I should probably try to do that sometime soon, though I'm FAR more inclined to go with Genoil as I HATE the whole "I'm going to use YOUR machine to pay for MY software" concept when there is a good TRUE FREEWARE option with competative performance.

I don't think he supports Linux anyway but I do agree with you in general about paying for the software especially since my hashrate is so low that he can't possibly ever get a share for eth mining in the 72 seconds that he uses my machine in an hour. I haven't been able to get genoil to work with my AMD 2GB cards, so that has also forced me to use claymores software. I do like that I can mine two coins at once with little to no impact on my mining though. I'm getting a HD 7870 XT today so I will see how that does I'm hopping to get around 18-19MH/s I saw a club3D card that was only getting 14.5 but don't really understand that as the memory was way underclocked they took it from 1500Mhz to 1050Mhz for Ethereum which is stupid.

I have the 7870 card. The most you will get is MAX 12.50MH/s. I currently get 12MH/s at stock clock/voltage. You can get like 20MH/s if you mine Expanse.
Its also horrible at most other algorithms and you can't dual mine really because it slows down the ETH speed.
But its uses very little power. Maybe 100watts or less.

The RX 470 is better if you can up the memory frequency to that of the RX 470 as not all cores are necessary.

On the 128 bit bussed 950 and 960 nvidia cards I use -farm-recheck 150. with oc I can push them to 13mhash ech.
Might worth a try on the 460
