[AMD] New AMD RX Graphics Cards of 2019 - RX 5700 / XT, RX 600

[jeca]

whose mission will it be to use the 5700's 40 compute units?  mining software?

There is 19.9.2, any increase in the hashrate?

[rdbase]

Can someone share a ProgPOW benchmark?

With the upcoming mining algorithm of progpow being released in the release of berlin imminent I would say this is important to know too.
Before forking over alot of money for a card and it only getting half the hashrate after the algo changes over in sometime in early 2020.

Nothing for me. I have three and there's no apparent difference.

It is not wise to spend money right now when the future is not very clear.They have been saying to change to ProgPOW from sometime but they are hesitant to change.I think we need a wait and see approach to the changes,the cards perform well though in Cryptonight algorithm so if you are looking for long term usage you can go ahead and buy these cards.

[ParaplegicRacehorse]

Has anyone succeeded at getting these cards to work on Linux? Mine won't even fart.

Just covered a quick overview of two streams this past weekend on a 8x Sapphire 5700 XT Build. Watch the 7min recap here: https://youtu.be/hCA603-7C1U

As for the AMD 5700/XT support, the New Linux Kernel looks like it has Navi Support https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/09/linux-5-3-kernel-release-features

So basically we RX 5700XT users are stuck with ETHASH by Claymore now.
Using PhoenixMiner, somehow one of my two RX 5700 will crap out after sometimes and the one that is still mining will still be showing fully loaded after mining is stopped.

I have three XFX 5700XT cards and mining with PhoenixMiner 4.6c
No problems here. Hashing at ~52 MH/s each.

good for you. Maybe because I force copy PhoenixMiner 4.6c latest exe into nicehash miner plugin folder, it's not stable.

[ronnieb]

At this point why would anybody buy a rx 5700XT over a regular 5700 if they almost produce the same hashrate?

Did you try running it without Nicehash?

Personally, I don't use Nicehash, I might might on their pool if it's more profitable but I don't use their program. For profit switching I use Awesome Miner.

Only reason would be if the RX can mine other coins, might be a better at other algos.  The XT can get 77 on vert coin.

Yeah I would agree with you there. I was just checking the dag file size for mining ethereum and it is at 3.23gb so anything below 8gb wont be able to mine the current algorithm when it reaches the 4 gb size limit.
Maybe mining another algorithm such as cryptonight you recommended would be a better option for the longevity of these cards thinking of future proofing the equipment you are purchasing now.
Best thing would be to wait to see where it all goes for the ethereum algo for now.

There has been someone I was watching on a youtube video which mentioned they were able to flash a 5700 to 5700xt and it worked fine for mining ethash. After the flashing it had all the same memory clocks as an xt version after checking them compared to before and after.
So it worked!

[burnwaygta4]

please make OCLMembench test

[logicalray77]

Can anyone perhaps give us some benchmarks with the XT. I seems like everyone wants to keep quiet about the results lol

Good question, i too would like to know, WHY?

But if i had to speculate, some people will buy it just because it is more expensive and makes it seem more premium. I know some people who are like this and are fixated on proving to the world that they are rich. All we can do is pray for them. lol.

[badbart]

I bought 3 open box xts, hoping that when miners are developed other algos might be faster on an xt.  A gamble buy we will see.

How much did you get them for? It's sad that you can't buy open box items from Amazon or Newegg if you live outside the US. On the other hand, in our country there aren't very many open box opportunities. Probably because companies here are too cheap to offer discounted prices even on items with damaged boxes.
