[GUIDE][TUTORIAL][XMR,ETH]How To Mod Bios RX470/570/480/580 VEGA Mining 💰⛏

[Deners]

Okay thanks guys for answering question about amd RX 580 power ussage but now what am wondering is since the BTC/Altcoin value is so low and question of electricity has erupted are you guys doing bios mods for timings and power consumption on RX vega 64 and 1080TI , how much wattage would consume RX vega 64 on for instance ETH+Decred dual mining after bios modding and how much power consumption would consume 1080TI on equihash algoritm. Cus am looking to get new cards but am in doubt which one to get.

NVIDIA Bios is locked.  Although there might be other techniques to get them modded by Pros.  
modded RX Vega Bios will be rejected by card (signing issues).

Basically, you can't BIOS mod these cards easily as you could have with Ellesmere/Polaris.

K thx for answer what a complicated issue, okay so i hear that mining on RX Vega 64 just mining ETH will cost 220W per card but i dont know how much will it cost for dual mining for instance ETH+Decred and aswel how much consumption is 1080TI using per mining equihash. You can see consumption of electricity in $ on whattomine but as i see it the price is more expensive when dealing with a real thing.

mining ETH on vega 56/64 will be 135-150w.  You can reduce the core frequencies to 830-1000 and undervolt the card and still get 44 MH/s

[Deners]

Those are some great numbers and as it looks RX Vega 64 beats the RX 580 but if you reduce core clock what about dual mining then for lets say ETH+SmartCash will the hashrate for the second coin SmartCash drop then ?

Just one question: How can you use ddu if your vbios is flashed to a non uefi modded vbios?

You don't need to use safe mode.

I couldn't set my Voltages correctly in bios file.No matter what program I tried 
I rely only on overrideNTool now.

Any information to do it without windoz' ?

6x vega56 on linux, running ethminer w/ Mesa Clover OCL.   You can get 39-41mh/s depending on your memclock.   Those 6 I have from 1043 to 1083 right now, just testing accept/stale rates to make sure I'm not missing out by running up the clocks.    Total TDP is ~1150.   You can see the hash rates based on memclocks below.

Hello, what is the best bios mod for RX580 8GB V1?
please give me some advice, thank you

The best is the one that gives you the best hashrate with least power spent

I was wondering since im selling one of my cards.

If my card was bios modded and i revert it to stock, will the other person need to run pixel patcher or anything.

How do i approach this?Kinda worried they might think i sold them a bricked card if something goes wrong.

If you restore the original BIOS there will be no need to run pixelpatcher, you can test it by installing original video drivers that will not work with a modded card, then flash the original BIOS and run again. If the card now works in its full resolution (or whatever your monitor can manage) then it's successfully restored to it's original condition.

I have sold cards that I had modded the BIOS on them and before selling I restored the original BIOS and have had no complaints.

Hello I have a 570 8gb nitro+ with micron memory. I want to know if the bios in the card is the original one. I mine with 25 now. And the best bios to use to go up to 30-31...! Thanks.

Use PBE one-click thingy then flash your modded bios - guaranteed >30Mh for Rx580.

I cannot find on Your web the bios for the RX MSI 570 8GB, V341-236R, (Armor)
any hints?

There aren't all bios there. You can use this guide and mod it or buy PBE 2.2 there.

I have a Gigabyte RX 580 8G Gaming card and I've tried everything that you have suggested in your FAQ after using PBE 2.2. I'm using Claymore to mine ETH. While I am mining I start MSI Afterburner and all of the settings at the default settings are Core Voltage 0, Power Limit 0, Temp Limit 90, Core Clock 1340, Memory Clock 2000, Fan speed 47, Voltage 1106 mV and Temp is 74. The GPU power draw is 121.4 watts. I'm only getting1 extra Mh/s (around 25.7 instead of stock bios of 24.6 Mh/s). Can you please help me figure out how to increase the hash rate to 29-30 that I am reading about when modding the Bios. I do appreciate your help in this matter.
