Radeon Pro Duo beginner's advice for mining?

[xberg]

Hi,
I'm very new to mining. I ordered Radeon Pro Duo cards and I'm looking for advice on how to best put them to good use.
Currently I only use Nicehash and let it do its magic on 1 Fury and 1x 1080 that I have in working PCs.

But the Radeon Pro duos would be to build my first dedicated mining rig. Any advice is really welcome:
- windows or linux
- AMD drivers
- bios
- and of course what and how to mine

Very few people have these cards so I'm struggling to find information that makes sense to me.

thanks!

Honestly I don't think buying those for mining was a good idea because, as you said, very little info on them. Additionally they're basically dual RX 580's with unmodded BIOs. So if your trying to mine with them, your basically SOL you'd have to BIOs mod them for timing straps in order for them to have good hash rates.

Interesting.
They are actually dual R9 Nanos, not RX 580.
It's not the blue 32 GB model, but the 8 GB with watercooling model.

This is I believe the world's fastest card, but reading the few posts here and I discover that nobody has been able to run more than 2 in a windows rig.

I have one, and have no plans of buying more.

Even with the fancy watercooler and 3 8 pins, they are still temp and power limited on straight eth. Nevermind trying to dual mine on them.

Thanks. But can you let me know how you are making good usage of your card today?
Whattomine is telling me for the R9 Fury to go Equihash.

To get things started: is there a custom bios for Radeon Pro Duo 8 GB edition?

No, but if you have an ES card, flash a retail bios on them. XFX or saphire doesn't matter.

Do you still have the Pro Duo ? If so, what are you mining and the hashrate please ?

Yes: I still have the Pro Duo.
Equihash at 900 H/s.
