RX 470 with Elipda + Hynix memory - using Anorak's powersave BIOS (https://anorak.tech/t/sapphire-rx-470-4gb-nitro-oc-hynix-no/3236/19). Goes from 21mhs to 26mhs but wattage only goes from 145W to 125W. I've seen posts of people running at 28mhs at 90W, but I can't seem to get those numbers.

The bios numbers are garbled a bit, something that seems prevalent, but I haven't found a solution for it. So makes adjusting the timings a bit difficult. But I think I new undercurrent settings. Any help?

These are the settings for the Powersave Bios (not sure how to embed the image)

Some of the newer forks of PBE seem to resolve the garbling issue on cards with BIOSes with timings for multiple RAM types.

as for wattage, low core clocks & low voltages are the way to go, although I've not gotten around to applying at a BIOS level myself.

Ooh. 1.5. I never found that. Thanks, will try.
