Navi 21 next generation of rdna better to mine than current navi cards?

[rdbase]

I was thinking of how much the overclocked version of the sapphire 5700 xt nitro special edition cards with Core Clock 1840 MHz & Boost Clock 2035 MHz would get on the ethash algorithm the other day.
It depends on the algorithm, ethash benefits from higher memory clock (and especially memory timing) but for equihash you need some core too.
But with the announcement yesterday of the next iteration of navi will have double the performance. But for what? Just for gaming or mining as well?

I really like the 5700s but 90% of my gpus are 3 years old.  It would be nice if performance was twice as fast as the 5700s, but I would want to see how they preform on other algos.  Eth is great but for a large investment I would need more then one algo.

It is funny you say 5700s as you own one correct? After seeing others doing the xt bios modification.
I just noticed even though you are able to bios mod the 5700 cards to xt clocks it does not affect the hashrates at all.

I have 18 rx 5700s and 5700s XTs and haven't tried bios modding any of them.  I think you can get a little more hash rate but I don't want the possibility of unstable rigs.  i'm getting 51-52 MH/s around 110 -120 watts and they can get 1.1h/s on G31.

maybe not leap forward in mining

rdna2 focus on hardware raytracing.

Might make the current cards cheaper if they are not a big leap for mining.

I was checking the hashrates on the rx 5700 (non-bios modded to xt) and they can get 52 mh/s. But since the 5700 xt draws more power they should get higher. Can you confirm how much of a difference in hash rates you get with the 5700 cards (since I am assuming they are all the same brand and the same memory manufactuer) versus the 5700 xt?
Which brand do you have of the 5700xt card? As I mentioned in the first post the sapphire 5700xt special editions have power boosted clocks.

[badbart]

Here are the hash rates and power usage.  I can probably squeeze a little more hash rate out but these are very stable and run weeks on end with no reboots.

[rdbase]

^^
So the 5700 (non-bios modded to XT) does the same hashrates as the 5700XT?
I see XL besides the regular 5700 thats why I ask.
Can you say which models they are? Powercolor has two versions like red devils and AMD doesnt say which brand they are.
Just curious about the memory types they have either micron or samsung, etc.

yes current cards is cheaper i read about rdna2 amd focus on raytracing and power consume.

card maybe faster around 20% with lower power consume amd focus this card in console gamer.


leap forward for mining maybe nvidia rtx 30xx series last news 3060 is faster than 2080 and can beat 2080ti

3060 have more RTX-OPS but we need to wait and see.

It does seem the new ravencoin fork does mine better on amd cards as well.
I was tuning into a stream during the exact time they switched over to the new algorithm and radeon vii were getting 32MH/s-40MH/s while 5700xt were doing 17MH/s being posted on the stream.
But those numbers were just when the fork was done so they will most certainly drop.
Just remember ravncoin will get a different hashrate then ethash. It is the progpow algorithm which will increase the power needed from each card.

There is a new tool someone created to tweak the power settings on Polaris. Navi 10 and 14 cards. It works in linux!

Still havent received any 5700xt cards to test this on but if you do then post your results below on how much of a decrease in power draw and increase in hashrate you received using this.
Remember to also include make and model of your cards.

My RX 5700 XTs are getting 24.8 on RVN with team red miner, that is 2080 territory very impressive.

How can you achieve this hashrate?
I tested here and max I get is 20.4 with team red miner, but with a very high power, with the same card (5700xt Gigabyte OC Gaming) I do 54.5mhs on ETH 120watts on the wall

With that hashrate on rvn why mining eth? rvn with that hasrate is much more profitable.

I can tell you the difference won't be that much, the only thing I'm expecting is better power efficiency from the RDNA 2 Next GPU class, AMD did a worse job on Radeon VII when I put it head to head with my Vega 64 GPU, I expected a marginal better hashrate but was disappointed

I'm running SIMPLE OS with 1400 core, 885 mem and 812mv.  They use around 131 watts

Thanks, I tried here but only 22.7 Mhs here with same settings, but I mining in Windows 10
I did not modified the bios, only used More Power Tools to decrease the mv

For me it's more profitable to mine ETH, even more because it uses less power, but I'll try to tweak more, to achieve at least 24mhs

Big Navi announced to drop tomorrow according to a tweet from one of the AMD devs it seems.
https://wccftech.com/amd-big-navi-rdna-2-gpu-powered-radeon-rx-6000-series-unveil-tomorrow

They are wanting to get a leg up on Nvidia with their release of the 3000rtx series which was announced to be available by the 17th of this month.
But retailers are already showing AIB versions available to purchase on their websites in Germany and China.

That article was two days ago.. that news was out yesterday.
