ETH Bounty for Gigabyte G1 4GB RX470

[mewhoyou]

Please share your configuration and screen capture on Gigabyte G1 4GB RX 470

Bounty : 3 to 5 ETH depending on output.

Currently achieving 27.5MH with 75w

Looking for best configuration with lowest Energy

[szafa]

Try minergate there you can set intesitivy.You will then know what best is configuration.

I got this card also. Running at 28MH/s and from the wall it uses like 130 Watts. Undervolted -100mV.

i am averagely getting 27.3 to 27.8 at 95 Watts from the wall with no undervolt. 28MH/s with that energy consumption would not be what i am looking for. If it was like 29.5MH/s with 130Watt then i would. I actually managed to get average 30.5 MHs but the error was too high for my acceptance at 110Watt of the wall.

Still hoping to have some assistance with custom rom editing.

95w in Gpu-z no ?
Thats awesome if from wall, whole computer about 155w ?

[adaseb]

27.8MH/s using 95 Watts from wall is not possible. That's like 3.4W/MHS. The best I've seen with the RX series is like 4W/MHS but that's with a 8GB and Platinum PSU.

And especially impossible without an undervolt. You are probably not measuring it correctly.

I really think that they are talking about GPU-Z measures.
Otherwise i wanna know their secret, because my number are way worse than theirs

[doktor83]

adaseb, that card has def. mem 1650mhz ?
Im planning in buying a few, is it working ok? How much can you push the mem?

if it was on GPUz its like this

[mewhoyou]

Its a 4GB Card

What strap are you using?

(68.3 + ~40 ) = 108.3 W + min. 40w for motherboard = total 148w

No, it cant be 95w from wall, im sorry.
Even a photo wouldn't convince me.

this is just an example from the few rigs I have running ... no one in the right mind would mine with just two cards. This is my daily pc. Each of my full time rigs are running 6 cards each.

( 68 x 6 ) + 120 riser + 55 system = X
X / 6 = 90 - 95.

My AMP meter has the same value at 2.35 to 2.42a.

If your riser is taking up 40w then I would recommend you change another brand as it will surely melt any of the power cable. It is taking 60% value of a graphic card.

Not very efficient running at 40w just to power up a riser.

[mewhoyou]

I am not trying to proof a point but just to share it is possible as this is one of my rigs.

[adaseb]

Whatever value you have shown in the GPU-Z, add 44 Watts and thats your exact true power consumption.

The 44 Watts is what I measured with my current amp meter and its what's being consumed by the PCIe slot. The power is always constant at 44 Watts whether you are solo ETH, dual ETH, overclocked, undervolted, underclocked, etc its because its what powers the AUX and Memory controller. The 8 pin PCIe is what powers the GPU core.

40w in my math is what adaseb wrote 44w, the value in gpu-z is not the real w, its just the gpu, approx you have to add 40-45w to what you see in gpu-z, and that's only the video card.
40-50w for the mobo,hdd with one card idle.
If you have 6 cards on the mobo then it's about 120-130w for the mobo and idle cards.

LoL ... you can go faster my dear countrymen (OP)

just do your homework & test

just don't really get it, lowest power & fastest speed .. just go as high as possible, if power is really a concern then you shouldn't be mining.

do the math, low power does NOT mean 1 is saving power. hashrates from dual mining vs power used & work out the profitability, i think my math tells me max + dual mining is ahead. ah by looking at your gpuz you will have more of a temp issue instead of power imo.

btw, there's no more or just few left of this GPU in local market, well, i do have a bunch of them.

simple rule of thumb, you want more hash from gpu, give it more power = more work, less power less work.

just find the balance.

i'd assume the power consumption is NOT accurate from you. go get a killawatt of even better a clamp meter n go clamp then come back n ask.

with 31 Celcius in an environment without Air condition, you need to stretch as much as you can from the system. Limitation to 60a circuit breaker on each line, i am able to achieve 15 sets and maxed out at 45 rigs. Power management is very crucial for my setup. Not to forget it still have to provide some juice to the rest of the building for daily operations

I am already pushing all my rigs to 80c to 89c...

The figures I am producing is from a clamp meter
