RX 560 hashrates

[Vlizzjeffrey]

RX560 makes 500 h / s in Cryptonight? Oh really?

If you are surprised, rx550 does 480h/s in cryptonight xD

[wacko]

RX560 makes 500 h / s in Cryptonight? Oh really?

Not every card. None of my 18 cards do 500H/s, the fastest ones I've got do 470 H/s at best, and some are as low as 415 H/s (not many though, most are in 435-445 H/s range). That's the claymore hashrates for the cards running for days/weeks non-stop with 0 memory errors in HWInfo.They could do a little bit more of course, but that would put a lot more stress on them so makes no sense for the long term mining. Looks like the best cards for cryptonight are the 2gb versions with Elpida ram, it's like they've got faster chips than the ones on the 4gb cards (which come with Hynix, Micron or Samsung ram, at least I've only seen these 3 types). But you can't mine ETH with the 2gb cards, which I think is a serious drawback considering how the price difference between the 2gb and 4gb versions isn't that great.

for me the micron memory seems to be the lesser good of the micron, hynix, and elpida.
i have  elpida rx550 2gb that can do 480 hash, hynix rx460 2gb that can do 480 hash.
micron rx550 4gb that can do 400 hash, micron rx460 4gb 420 hash.

Looks like the 2gb versions are better.

edit:
Just scooped up another rx550 2gb for 70 euro xD

are you serious ?
i dont think so its possible to get 480 hashes with rx 550 2GB memory in now a days???
i think you want to sell your own cards, so you are trying to promote.
if you are not lying did you have any proof (like videos or picture)

560 4G Hynix and Micron are > than 460H/S depending of timing you have.
I didn't have the chance to have Samsung one but from my experience on 580 Samsung are the best for Cryptonight.

Good to know for the 2G !!!

Wako: For your 560 4G try to add claymore (cryptonight option) -h 896 (give me increase of hash)

Are you calling me a liar?
People give you valueble innformation and you just go arround calling them liar, instead of thanking them for the information?
Look this youtube video little guy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S16mGHrXNDQ&t=46s

Saying i want to sell my cards, so i am lying about their hashrates, i just bought the cards you  goat, and im buying more, orderd another rx550 for 70 euro, yeah.

When i load the bios from my sapphire rx550 4gb micron,  when i load it in polaris bios editor, it says rx460 in the information.
So i think this sapphire rx550 4gb micron is really a rx460 with 4 (6) of its compute units turned of.

The RX 550 is a Polaris 12 chip, it´s a new chip with 14nm FinFET LPP !

The RX 580 / 570 is a Polaris 20 chip (renamed Polaris 10 with 14nm FinFET LPP).
The  RX 560 is a Polaris 21 (renamed Polaris 11   with 14nm FinFET LPP).

Polaris 10 and 11 are produced with 14nm FinFET LPE.

Thanks, good information.

I have one weird thing;
On claymore my rx460 2 gb hynix gives 480 hash, on xmrstak it gives 420
On Claymore my rx550 4gb micron gives 370 hash, on xmrstak it gives 420

Im confused

Xmr-stak is fairly difficult to optimize (so is SGMiner-GM) and I never got Claymore to come anywhere close to even unoptimized xmr-stak.

SGMiner-GM 5.5.5 gives me the best performance, but, sadly, some tweaking is still required even if given good parameters from someone else with the exact same card. The next best performing miner for me was https://www.amdxmrminer.com/, and it doesn't require any tweaking.

Have you finally download the SGminer files from my guide?
For XMR-STAK use 2 threads just like SGminer, Claymore need to be tweaked as well I think it's -h command whe you can set intensity.
If you use old XMR-STAK-AMD you would have higher hashrate.

Hey, i downloaded the sgminer already from your guide, and tried the config, but still everytime i try to run the .exe it starts with telling me i didnt specify pool, and user, etc, so i have to re-enter it everytime when i start it, i do something wrong with the config, this is my cryptonight.conf ( is that even the right format for it to be in the folder? );

  "pools": [

Yes it works when i launch the bat, but i don't know the command for 2 threads in the command line for the batfile, wich why im sitll on xrmstak because there io know how to make 2 threads work.

Well, I warned you that sgminer-gm was difficult... 

Here is my entire .conf file for mining ITNS on a system with (2) RX 560 and an Intel integrated GPU (which you don't want to use, obviously):

Code:

{
    "pools":
    [
        {
            "name": "ITNS-Official",
            "url": "stratum+tcp://45.32.171.89:4444",
            "user": "<wallet address>",
            "pass": "x",
            "priority": "0",
            "profile": "xmr"
        }
    ],
    "profiles":
    [
        {
            "name": "xmr",
            "algorithm": "cryptonight",
            "rawintensity": "408,408",
            "worksize": "8,8",
            "gpu-threads": "2,2"
        }
    ],
    "default-profile": "xmr",
    "no-extranonce": true,
    "gpu-platform": "1",
    "no-submit-stale": true
}

The "gpu-platform" needs to be set to "1" if you have an integrated GPU, otherwise set it to "0".

And my .bat file:

Code:

@echo off
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_MAX_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
sgminer -c itns-official-1.conf --gpu-reorder
pause

The switch --gpu-reorder may be needed with integrated GPU present. I haven't actually tested this yet and might not since everything works fine right now so why mess with success?

[wacko]

Well, I warned you that sgminer-gm was difficult... 

Your config looks quite easy to me, I personally gave up on sgminer because I couldn't make it work reliably with multiple pools. What happens in your case if the official itns pool goes down? Do you have failover options specified with some other external scripts? Sgminer seems to have inbuilt failover mechanism, but I coundln't figure out how it works: the priority is defined with a number, but what those numbers do exactly and how to fine-tune the miner's behavior (when to switch to the next pool, when to try to get back to the main pool etc) is still a mystery to me. I was meaning to figure this all out, but then just switched to claymore and forgot about it.

Ah, it's not just me, then. Nope, failover doesn't work for me, either. Honestly, sgminer-gm is a hot mess, but so far it performs the best so I put up with it.

Yeah, see this post of mine to the SGMiner thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1612329.msg29859202#msg29859202

There is almost no logic to the optimization parameters (rawintensity, worksize, gpu-threads) and worse is that completely different rules apply to different algos. Now I understand that optimization /should/ be different for every algo, but what doesn't make sense to me is why worksize should be 192 for Ethash but 8 for Cryptonight? Or why one of the devs (OhGodAGirl) said that if 1 gpu-thread is used then worksize can be set to 8, but for 2 gpu-threads you all but have to set worksize to 4... and then I get the best results by far when I set worksize to 8 and gpu-threads to 2?! Then there is the rawintensity parameter which is supposedly estimated by multiplying the compute units by 4x the worksize, which would be 512 in my case, but sgminer immediately crashed with that setting so I did a manual binary search starting with half the calculated value, 256. SGMiner loaded but the hashrate was low so I next tried halfway between 256 and 512, or 384; that was quite a bit faster, so next was 448; that was a bit slower, so next was 416. That seemed to work really well but seemed to have stability problems, because the rig kept locking up after 8-12 hours of operation so I've since dialed back rawintensity to 408 and that only knocked 2 H/s off the speed but it seems to be much more robust (only 2 days at 408, but no crashes).

Claymore was significantly slower for me - about 340 H/s was the best I managed, though I didn't spend nearly as much time on it as I have SGMiner - and while xmr-stak works really well on my AMD CPUs, it hasn't been a top performer with any of my AMD GPUs. But that could be from not persisting with the tweaking as much.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

:loop
sgminer -c sgminer-xmr.conf --gpu-reorder
echo restart miner...
goto loop

Name the .conf like you have it.
That's enough in bat, if you download the files from my guide and run the bat it should start mining with no problems.

[wacko]

Claymore was significantly slower for me - about 340 H/s was the best I managed, though I didn't spend nearly as much time on it as I have SGMiner

The only thing I changed for the claymore miner is the -h parameter — I'm getting the highest hashrate with -h 512. Everything else is on default.
