RX 560 hashrates

[MagicSmoker]

Can't harm, for the most part, except if you got one of new cards that have 1500 strap as the last one, instead usual 2000 or 2250

As in, 1500 is the highest strap, or the 1500 strap has already been copied to the higher clocks (ie - it's already optimized)?

FWIW, here is the product page: http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/amd-radeon-rx-500-series/rx-560-4gb-sf-rx-560p4sfgr

I don't know where the get the "effective" memory rate of 7000MHz from... a combination of bus bit width and the usual double data rate factor or what?

One good thing is this appears to be the "real" RX 560 with 16 compute units and 1024 stream processors, rather than the cut-down version with 14/896.

Hello !

I am thinking of buying 3 cards 550 or 560, I see good results of hashes in cryptonight, however nobody puts the consumption on the wall, can someone give me real watt data on the wall for 550 or 560 and 400h / s?

Thank you all!

It seems like rx560 is quite good in performing cryptonote algorithm compared to other gpu with same pricing range.

I think the RX 550 is also quite good in performing XMR ... more than 400 h/s with less power consumption compared to the RX 560.

Are you sure you can get more that 400h/s on 550? It seems it's also difficult for 560 to hit 400h/s. For a 550 it looks like a miracle.

It works since 4 weeks without problems at my home.  
The RX550 is the perfect gpu for mining xmr, because cryptonight charges the memory and 8 gpu cores are enough for the rest. The bottleneck is the memory.

What brand is your rx 550?

Saphire Pulse Radeon RX550 4GB Micron Memory

Hi R0land, I bought one of this to test 11268-03-20G (Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX550 2GB)
Unfortunately it came with Elpida memory: max hash 290-300 on CryptoNight with sgminer 5.5.5-gm stock bios
Do you know if it worth to mod bios with Elpida mem?
I don't know how to have RX 550 cards with Micron mem. It seems they are random...

With this card you can reach 410 h/s @18W(GPU-Z).
With the 4GB Micron Version 450 h/s @23W(GPU-Z).

Thank you guys, I decided to give it a shot... and it seems that with the "lifting" to the timings and a boost to the mem freq the results are much better than the stock bios even for Elpida model.
I'm getting about 390h/s @1875MHz but I'm testing the stability since already @1900 I'm getting BSODs in a bunch of seconds.
Don't you know if it is recommended to increase the mem voltage to try to work @2000MHz? Because at stock voltage (1000mV) I think it will be hard for this card to go beyond 1875MHz.
I would also consider to decrease a bit the GPU frequency and voltage not to stress the card but I don't know if it will worth.

I didn't play with cryptonight too much lately...but I think memory frequency is less important than core frequency for this algo...or, at least,
much more important than for ethash

Playing a bit with rawintensity under sgminer I could hit and pass 400h/s stock volt, stock core clock, mem @1875 and card essentially cold: very satisfied!
Thank you!

I don't want to have headache playing with core and voltage. The card is almost cold under CryptoNight so I think I'll let it so.
Thank you.

[preda]

At the price of 124 euro on Amazon was really good to buy... 12 of them are like 6x 580 same speed ethereum and 30% less power consumption

[code2]

Guys, could you write your Sgminer settings? I have this:


 --remove-disabled --keccak-unroll 0 --hamsi-expand-big 4 --remove-disabled  --rawintensity 390 -w 8 -g 2

But I have problem when I raise rawintensity AMD drivers restarts..

I have Sapphire RX 560 4GB OC with micron memory and AMD drivers is 17.7.2.

Thank you!

What's your hashrate?

Did you try -w 8 -g 1 ?

then start from rawintensity 512 and decrese little by little untill to find the best hashrate

[tale07]

Does anyone have setup for xfx rx560 and which hashrate you've got on cryptnonight ?

[R0land]

Sorry, but the memory frequency (the memory speed) is very important for cryptonight.  The main loop is iterated 524,288 times with random read/write/aes/xor operations to the 2MB scratchpad.  
ethash is similar  .

[thesunday]

xfx rx560 2gb, 492 H/s, Elpida memory. 1950 MHZ memory, 900 mV. I have to lower clocks, for now 1295 MHz, 1100 mV. Using Claymore, have to try sgminer. My first mining gpu and first bios moding Bought this one for 115 €.

Is it possible to pull anything extra??

Sapphire Pulse Rx560oc - or rather 560D >.> 896 shaders boooo

Anyway yeah is it possible to pull better hashrates then stock i have been unable to find a working bios that works with my card and i have yet to switch over to the blockchain driver which will get it a minimal boost but is there anything else that can be done

Is there a strap that will work or a bios to unlock this sucker to a proper 560?

thanks

[wacko]

Straps — sure, there's a ton of them on the internet, just gotta try what's working for you (will depend on how much you can overclock your vram). At the moment I'm using
777000000000000022339D00CE515A3D9055111234CC440900400600740114206A8900A00200312 01E0F292F94273116 for Hynix and
777000000000000022AA1C00315A5436A0550F15B68C1506004082007C041420CA8980A9020004C 01712262B612B3715 for Micron.
There are probably better straps out there, these are just the best I've managed to find so far.

As for unlocking those extra cores, this worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6gah41/how_to_unlock_your_xfx_rx_460_single_slot_4g_by/
All it takes apparently is to change "70" to "6F" in the BIOS. My 560 14CU cards all got unlocked with this simple edit.

Of course, I didn't want to imply that its NOT important, just not as important as with ethash, where it almost doubles performance...here
you still gain 30-40%, but with ethash its 70-80%, and up to 100% on my insanely clocked RX560 Gigabyte


Added power consumption to first post

Wicked i've unlocked it without an issue thank you very much for supplying the post to follow to unlock my own bios
ill try the strapping you posted see how it goes for me

Is it possible to add the missing timing blocks to my bios or would that be impossible as i stop at 1500 block even with it unlocked i couldn't really take full advantage of it could i without having those extra timing blocks in place?

so 1050ti  or rx560
