RX570 pulse are available in EU for 180euros.
This is the same as the cheapest RX470 currently available.
Good deal ?
seems to me if you don't want to flash them and don't like to flash you would be okay.
but if you flash bios right now you need a new driver and it will check the signature and not let the card work well if you flash it.
This new cards will make flashing a p.i.t.a for 1 week 1 month 6 weeks who knows. most likely a month of not being very flashable or maybe a little less
does the 180 euro includes VAT ? if it does include, then it's a VERY good deal.
i'd go for rx 470 if you want a better hash per dollar for time being. be it to flash or not to flash still better in terms of ETH, for dual mining the rx 5xx series seems to get a better speed.
sorry i forgot to take note on stock. plugged in, saved a backup of original bios & flash away LoL.
vg, looks like your parcel is at customs. i would speaking to the courier company again. they do suck a little ! grrrr
no issues with bios sig chk at all if you know what you are doing or how to do it.
flashing will not be difficult same as above if you know what you are doing. i have flashed these 2 new cards at least 10 times or more each to get them to reach those speeds including stability & also used 4xx stuffs on a 5xx, no problem they work for "normal" use & may not be suitable for mining though.
on the topic of flashing, maybe OP & others may have some bad experience hence prefers to stick to stock bios which has its own advantages especially when it comes to single bios gpus, if screwed up, might not be able to fix it or to claim for warranty. But for my case it maybe a little different, i do this all the time & have done much research, reading & so on. Even if i do flash it wrongly & bricked the gpu, i do still have a very good chance to claim warranty or if not, i am willing to take the risk & to write off the gpu that i bricked. In this case for these 3 gpus i received, i was pretty fortunate & lucky, they are "sponsored" samples.
everything has risks, so make your own wise decision & do read up as much as possible.
i'd say just wait a little for now as more & more people will have them in their hands pretty soon & more discoveries to come soon.
nope SMOS won't help even on a flashed BIOs, i did send a screenshot to someone, same gpu, same bios, on SMOS i used the possible lowest setting, it works but runs a little slower than win & the power consumption is abt 20W higher than win. i'd say most likely at the time i was testing there was no official driver released by amd for any platform. so probably it could be a driver related problem ? not sure, that probably you guys can let tytanick know abt it so he can upgrade SMOS. But imho, win has more control over fine tuning especially power settings so more power can be saved using win for now. but linux is definitely more stable, it's ok i have my own Mining Control Center (MCC) similar to SRR so offsite or remote reboot is ok.
found it : SMOS vs Win10 Both are using same GPU on RX 570 4 GB
SMOS & off the wall power (not very clear pic on the LEFT but it says avg of 24.8mhs ETC & 747mhs DCR)
Win10 & off the wall power
STOCK RX 580 8GB in LEFT & RIGHT is BIOS modded + some underclocking on the core
as for now, i just installed latest driver & a bit of tweaking both gpus have increased a little more speed & shaved some watts off.
ok, i think this maybe be my last post with spammy pix + long posts & looks like OP is gonna open another new thread (sorry for spamming). prolly fewer posts from me in the future over here. have fun all & happy mining
OP you may DEL as needed.
