RX 560 4GB Ethereum

[whiteking]

rx470 is more effective to mine ethereum ,and even r7 370 seems to be more economic  than rx560 .

whats the best you can do to a xfx 560 micron single fan?

About 14.8 if card doesn't have additional power connector, 15.5 if it has it.
Everything above 15.5 is just question of cooling memory...gigabyte has advantage that
metal part of cooler covers memory chips too...I don't know about any other card like that, but
if it exists, it should be able to reach 16MH/s too

Which settings should give me that speed on XFX 560 Single Fan with

Memory timings?Clocks?

Thanks.

i have a modded bios for XFX RX 560's that get me a 14.xx stable. You may be able to hit 15.xxx but I could not as the MAX mem clock was 2000 for mine. All of the ones I have are MICRON memory. However even after taking each and tuning them one by one separately. I get weird hashrates i.e 14.xxx on one while another 11.xxx on others. Its strange... not sure what is happening. I normally used the batch file on Claymore to edit the settings/set overclocks/voltage etc. But have been experimenting with using Wattman, and Afterburner.

So far Wattman is okay, but still not even hashrates all around, and AB combined with Claymore is a hit or miss sometimes to have them all at 14.xxx ;

Example: in claymore GPU0 is 11.xxx Mh/s GPU1 is 14.xxx and GPU2 is 11.xxx doesnt make any sense why this is. What I have noticed however is that the DAG file creation time for GPU1 is 8XXX ms vs 11982 ms for the other two. I'm lead to believe the faster the creation of the DAG poch file   = high hash rate.

and these mod values ans straps are:
If you care to share.

I got 12.6-12.7 Mh/s with 1625 straps and 2040 mem and 1150 GPU core clock. Me,ory is micron. Single Fan XFX RX 560.

I also noticed the gpu I have is a downgraded version with 14 CU rather than original 16 CU RX560.

Maybe my values are limit with what I got.

Damn thats strange. Does it tell you on Claymore miner (if thats what you use) that the amount CU's is 14 instead of 16? I have 16 on all of them.

I can just upload the moddedbios that can reach 14.xxx if you'd like however ur gonna have to instruct me on how to do so on here. UI isn't as simple as Anorak's site.
S/O @Branko for the bios had a throw him some ETH his way for helping a guy out.

Anyways. The Epoch DAG file creation time is 100% connected to the hashrate as my 14.xxx XFX 560 makes a DAG epoch file @ 8198 ms vs 11198 (11.xxx) for the other two .

After doing alot of research and browsing on other forums the NEW Adrenaline drivers at the time of this post (17.12.1) DO NOT play well with Afterburner. Nor Claymore batch file settings it seems. It only likes Wattman.

It's nice to FINALLY meet someone with XFX RX 560's as hopefully we can figure out how to max out these bad boys.

All is set to Compute mode. My settings are the following (I'm posting the batch file settings but these are the same I use on Afterburner):

-asm 2 -mode 1 -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal <INSERT RIG NAME HERE/ADDRESS> -dcri 70 -mvddc 850 -cclock 1225 -cvddc 920 -fanmin 90 -tt 70 -ethi -65536

Funny enough when I lowered the core clock to 1150 on the ones that can't make the DAG epoch file creation time, they went up to 12.1xxx stable. Branko thinks it might be a throttling problem…cards heats up and bios lowers frequencies. Might try other timings. Depends of time of course because its fucking Christmas!! Also I was able to reach 15.xxx mh/s on the bios but it crashed after 5 mins but its definitely possible.

rx470 is more effective to mine ethereum ,and even r7 370 seems to be more economic  than rx560 .

My R9 270X is on par with RX560 in EXP or UBIQ mining, but uses twice as much power...maybe even more

It was cheaper to buy used, but its more expensive in the long run

What sort of hashrate do you get for the R9 270X. On my Sapphire R9 270X 4GB I get 10Mh/s for Ethash and 455 h/s for Cryptonote (with Afterburner OC settings).
It's just profitable enough to mine something like Electroneum with the R9 270X.

Update; Modded BIOS on R2 270X, 1375 straps to 1500/1625/1750, now getting 10.5 Mh/s on Ethash and 463 h/s on Cryptonote, with Afterburner Core Clock 1200 & Mem Clock 1500.

[CryptonikaTrade]

I like that cards also previous card rx 460 also like too. I have some rigs with 460 and one with 560 and summary have 300 mh on ethhash algo

14MH/s ethash, but mining expanse, since its 2GB card


You used hex editor to copy straps? I don't dare to do it with mine

Yes it is Claymore. It says 14 compute units. As far as I know AMD "silently" allow selling downgraded RX 560 chips. Maybe thats what I have.
I think you can upload files any file hosting site and post the link here.

I am on AMD Compute Driver also. I dont use gaming drivers.

Right now I modded bios with 1623 straps, GPU clock is 1150 and Memclock is 2040.

Although HWinfo shows some memory errors it works. I got much more errors with 1750 straps and/or memclock over 2100.

You can not mine with 2 gb limit card only two coins on ethhash - eth and etc

hello,,
does have anyone share mod bios from rx560 powercolor red dragon samsung??
thanks before

Yes I used a hex editor to modify the R9 270X BIOS as I've yet to find something like Polaris Bios Editor to do it automatically.
The hex editor I used is this.. https://anorak.tech/t/anoraks-amd-vbios-hex-modification-tutorial/126

The 10.5 Mh/s was mining Ethereum, just did a quick test and get 15.5 Mh/s mining Expanse. I'm mining Electroneum (requires just under 2GB vRAM) at the moment as I think it's the best for a R9 270X, but I could be wrong.

does have anyone share mod bios from rx560 powercolor red dragon samsung??
thanks before

There is a Moded BIOS for the RX560 Powercolor on the Anorak web site (have a look through the forums for hints and tips it's really quite good).
You have to set up an account, just an email address and password, to access the BIOS.
Link to R560 Moded BIOS  ---> https://anorak.tech/t/powercolor-rx-560-red-dragon/35822

[Dowper]

Sapphire 560 4GB, 6pin, Micron (1625 strap to upper) - 14.6/30 dual - EXP/LBRY.
Sapphire 560 2GB, 6pin, Hynix (1500 strap to upper) - 14/29 dual - EXP/LBRY.

The voltage on the Micron gpus is locked, but on Hynix is not. Micron cards are working on 0.935V and I cannot change it. Hynix cards are working on 0.885V and 0.835V.

I think 560 is perfect for Electroneum mining because Diff Electroneum is small and very profitable for mining using 560 GPU

Short term, many coins are more profitable ATM, long term (if you don't change immediately into BTC or USD), who knows?

Make sure you have the latest video drivers installed, you may need to select "Compute" mode in video driver settings, if they are available for the RX560.
I don't think 'pixel patcher' is needed anymore but it if is download it and let it patch the video drivers https://www.monitortests.com/atikmdag-patcher-1.4.6.zip

A quick check to see if everything is working is to restore the original BIOS (you did back it up - didn't you?) and check if it is mining OK.

thankyou problem is solved, i'm using atikmdag-patcher, reboot, and then start mining normaly.
i'm get 430hs algo crypto, before just 344hs

[yhoga45]

Anyway ETH is 12,1 MHS and XMR is 405 h/s.
using straps from 1425 and claymore:

-mclock 2060
-mvddc 1000

-cclock 1080
-cvddc 925

I apologize for the noob question, but I just want to clarify for myself - Have you just copied the timing value from 1425 to 1500? Also, is that possible to put the clock settings right into firmware ? The thing is I don't use claymore... Thank you.

Yes, just copy value. And rise max memory clock to be able to go above 2000.
Well maybe you should start using Claymore, because i am getting 408 hs in claymore and 345 hs in xmr-stk-amd with same settings. Otherwise you can tune clocks in lot of softwares like msi afterburner, atitool etc...it is much easier to control your clocks from OS, because you need to tune card and adjust by small steps to find what you card can handle. You dont want to flash every card for each 10mhz change.

I find memory clock 2040 (not much for micron tbh) as stable with hashrate of 408 hs XMR and 12.1 mhs ETH...

To sumarize this card I think cooling is nice, temps are low and fan is not noicy. They do quite nice hashrate in CryptoNight (they do more then 50% of usual RX580 output for less then 50% price and at very low power consump.), but below avarage (for micron) in Ethash.

Could you share your bios mod here? I also have the same card and I tried put rx560 bios with cc 1300 and mc 1750. Its work well but if i change the memclock on msi after burner it didn't change anything. I also tried copy from 1500 straps to the higher (with new bios) Buts i still get 350 hs for xmr when the default bios is around 300 hs. Thanks

Hi All
I started mining 2 days ago and this is my very first post.

I use:
AMD A10 6300 @ stock clock, 3 out of 4 cores mining XMR @ 45-47H/s with Claymore_Old on MinerGate pool.
Radeon RX560 4GB OC @ 1970 mem clock mining 8.8 MH/s with Skunk (prospector) on NiceHash pool
Radeon RX560 4GB OC @ 1970 mem clock mining 8.8 MH/s with Skunk (prospector) on NiceHash pool
Boards are on the Mobo (ASRock FM2a75 Pro 4 (4x PCIe)
Mining alternative: 290H/s on XMR on each card on NiceHash
8 GB RAM
120 GB OZ SSD
400w PSU
This is just an old gaming rig with 2x 560 I bought for mining purposes, to learn what all this is about.
I have limited cryptos knowledge.

The temperatures are nicely low.
CPU runs at 50-51 celcius (only 3 of the 4 cores mining, it reboots otherwise).
GPUs at 55-57 celcius for the card next to the CPU and 52-54 for the other one.
I have them on a regular ATX case with open side.

I read nicehash had some issues a few weeks ago, and I don't know what other pools/miners/systems/wallets/etc to use.
After a few days of reading I made 2 wallets on 2 different places, and I am mining into them half-half.
I have not been able to mine Etherium since NiceHash says equiash and daggerHashimoto has lower returns on my system at least right now.

So my questions are:
1) Nicehash says I will mine about 16-18 USD per WEEK depending on the algorithm. Is that acceptable these days for my setup?
2) I have another 2 PCIe on my Mobo. Should I buy a better PSU (600w?), add 2 more rx560, and rise everything?
3) I use stock roms on both RX560. Is it worthy to use a modded rom? Will the extra returns compensate the trouble/time/risk/heat/power?
4) Should I abandon NiceHash and mine with another tool/pool/etc? What do you guys mine on a 4G 560 currently?
5) PLEASE PM me any first week advice you may have.

If you need more information or screenshots I will be happy to provide.

Thank you all :-)
