AMD RX 560 515 h/s for Cryptonight (Monero, Electroneum..) @ 40 watt on the wall

[sam08016]

I built my first Cryptonight rig a few months back using Sapphire Pulse RX 570 and was able to get 915 h/s @ 95 watt on the wall. Due to high prices and unavailability of RX 570s, I decided to give RX 560s a shot. I am glad to mention that I am able to obtain 515 h/s @ 40 watt on the wall for AMD RX 560 while mining Electroneum/Sumokoin (will be true for all Cryptonight coins e.g., Monero, Karbo). You can see the proof of hashrate and clock settings at this link: https://imgur.com/a/q1iKk

I am using sgminer-gm 5.5 with rawintensity 416 and worksize 8. The trick was to use 2 gpu threads in the config file as follows:

"rawintensity": "416", "worksize": "8", "gpu-threads": "2"

My GPU is Asus OC 2gb Polaris 14nm 1210 Ghz core and 1750 Mhz memory clock. It uses Elpida DDR5 memory. Its bios is modified using Polaris 1.6.6 editor's one click patch option and that was pretty much it. (I tried Sapphire RX Pulse 4gb version but could not get it above 410 h/s).

I tried Crimson Beta 17.30 Blockchain driver but it kept on crashing. Finally managed to make Crimson relive 17.7 work.

can you maybe share your sgminer config? i cant get mine to work

[sam08016]

Sure mate,

Here it is:

    "pools":
    [
        {
            "name": "Etn",
            "url": "stratum+tcp://pool.etn.spacepools.org:5555",
            "user": "etnk4mvPSG49h6Hw4xgaQrTbjQyJ4fnUh6F6jFVM6xpAfrJtswC6AaiJepPCWF1PSNj4xiMXc8QXU7G cfFZvpUi422Z9F82eth",
            "pass": "choose the one you like",
            "profile": "Electroneum"
        }

        
    ],
    "profiles":
    [
        {
            "name": "Electroneum",
            "algorithm": "cryptonight",
            "rawintensity": "416",
            "worksize": "8",
            "gpu-threads": "2"


        }
    ],
    "default-profile": "Electroneum",
    "no-extranonce": true,
    "gpu-platform": "0",
    "remove-disabled" : true
}


You can try gpu platform 0 or 1. Generally one of these two is the Intel's integrated gpu and the other one is your openCL platform. Save this as .conf file and then run a .bat file which has the following contents

@echo off

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

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

Currently getting 420h/s on Hynix. Using Awesome miner, will this increase my hash rate?

[elkaian]

can u upload your modified bios please

[JohnTheMiningGuy]

I'm not at home, but all i did was use the one time click patch and overclock memory to 2100+.

You can try using sgminer with two threads. With single thread on sgminer my speed was around 440 h/s. With two threads i was able to get 515 h/s.

[JohnTheMiningGuy]

Sounds good, I haven't used SG miner. Any tutorials you recommend to get it set up? Getting 420h/s on Hynix and 460h/s Micron without your modified miner.

Thanks

[EliotFR]

Which cgminer do you talk about ?

This one ?
https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm/releases

Or This one ?
https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer-gm/releases

Or another one ?

I do not have access to any tutorial at this point. But you can setup it very easily. All you have to do is setup a .bat file and config file. Above I have given examples  of my .bat and config file. Simply copy and paste (change wallet and pool address accordingly).

good, my Sapphire RX550 2G Pulse got only @470H/s, 1.4K for 3.

[Branko]

good, my Sapphire RX550 2G Pulse got only @470H/s, 1.4K for 3.

Thats pretty good for such cheap card, according to whattomine site, Nvidia GTX 1080 has result
580, and you can buy 5-6 rx550 cards for the price of one GTX 1080

[sam08016]

good, my Sapphire RX550 2G Pulse got only @470H/s, 1.4K for 3.

This is good hash rate for RX 550. What are your mem and core clock settings?

[lolopo]

I can't get the same numbers, saphire pulse 2gb lite, elpida ram, one click patch. 440-460 h/s

Try mining dero with cryptonight algo.
If you need coin with purpose and more than just fork or gui wallet go for Dero,
research you coin first and read carefully the details about it.
https://github.com/deroproject/documentation/blob/master/WhitePaper.md
I am personally mining dero.
DERO: Privacy + Smart Contracts + Lightning Fast Transactions, like monero + ethereum
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2525508
You can use cpu to mine dero.

Hey !

I've 6x Gigabyte RX560 4gb Micron Rev2 and i'm looking for the same hrate.
Can you share a bios and the oc please ?

I've god 370h/s with SMOS and 1050/2000 OC

I would be grateful

Hey Mate, I used Polaris 1.6.6 one click patch to modify the default bios. That was it. Not sure how to share a file on bitcointalk.
My oc settings are 1130 for gpu and 1950 for memory.  Btw, I am using Windows 10 and sgminer. So not sure about SMOS.

I ran into the same issue with Sapphire pulse 560 4gb. Could not get over 410 h/s. So I switched to Asus 2gb card which gives 515 h/s
