Mining Ethereum with 4gb RX470 cards in 2021

[CashbackLover]

RX470 4gb is not going to give you same old hashrate anymore because the ETH DAG is now over 4gb, you will need to swap that gpu for a 6gb or 8gb VRAM gpu or keep mining with the 4gb gpu @15mhs per second like many are getting

good news: the rig is working again (was able to fix it...) 

[dgreen2]

so, what do you guys suggest me to do? Is it better to switch to ETC right now?
Using lolminer with RX470 4gb card is still profitable?

[dgreen2]

I installed lolminer v1.28a for windows7
 I'm mining Ether by using only 1 card (RX470 4gb)...
hashrate: 0.45 mh/s 
is it normal that the hashrate is so low.. or I'm missing something in the configuration???

[dgreen2]

..on top of that, I also have the problem that the USB wifi dongle adapter I'm using for the rig, has a very unstable connection and internet keeps falling again and again...
I heard this could be caused by some interfarance with the graphics card...

Go to ETC now.

Go to ERG, make 100% more profit than ETC. ERG can also dual mine with zilliqa.
My RX570 do around 64mh per card mining ERG.
Tradeable on Probit or Tradeogre.

Also good profits mining Haven Protocol, and it use less electricity. RX570 hashrate is 900h - 1000h per card.

Go to the lolminer thread and read the last few pages. From what I recall you were able to mine with 4GB only if you put it inside the actual x16 pcie 3.0 slot of the motherboard. Which means you can't use a riser. And this way you used the DDR3 system ram to store some of the DAG and got speeds around 25mh/s. This was a few weeks ago and no idea if it still works.

You can also get away with 2 GPUs if you put one in the x8 and x8 slots, similar to a crossfire setup with games. However your speeds will be slower however it still will be profitable given that ETH is $4K right now. If you got a 6 GPU rig, then it won't work obviously. You need to put those GPUs in different motehrboards or mine something else all together.

Right now even 4GB cards are profitable to mine crypto, coins like ETC and Ravencoin have grown up in value and also more profitable for small cards too, I'm not sure if zombie mode in lolminer still works for Rx AMD cards anyone on here still using this?

RX470 4GB is very popular video cards even now. I mine Ethereum Classic on them and regret that at the beginning of the year I sold some video cards for $ 140. I could earn more in these 3 months

Wonders will never seize to happen in crypto space, who would have thought that Rx cards with 4gb memory still have chance to making profits for their owners?  I sold five of these cards for few dollars before crypto rally starts, such a painful decision

I switched to mining ETC 
hashrate 29 MH/s
(i'm using only one card atm, I'm going to add a second one once I'll get a more stable rig)

the problem my rig has, is that wifi connection keeps dropping occasionally...I'm working on it...

Hello folk,
Ethereum price is skyrocketing  . I decided to go back to mining using my old rig from 2017
Surprisingly enough it still turns on!.. (after collecting dust for more than 2 years)
I have 2x RX470 4gb modded cards running on Windows 7 (with 4gb RAM) . Today I tried running the old dusty rig and this is the list of problems I found:
-Claymore miner is not working anymore ("cannot set epoch" error... I've already searched for this error and I will fix
it by replacing with another miner)
-One card is not recognized by Windows 7 (maybe it is only a problem of some cable connection, I will check it better in the next days)

Wht miner do you suggest to use? Do you think it is still profitable to use 4gb RX 470 cards in 2021?
Thanks for your help!

Will soon give some updates!

Try using lolminer first with zombie mode activated and if that doesn't work you should mine ETC instead, don't worry this coin is pretty profitable for 4gb cards presently

I'm mining ETC with 1 RX470 card right now!

hashrate:  29.32 Mh/s
power consumption at wall: 207 Watt

I also tried mining ETH with lolMiner.. but I only get 0.01 MH/S    ..... any suggestion??

Yes either mine another coin or get a gpu with more than 4gb of vram.

This old trick is played out.  Worked for a little while but now will not.

I also tried mining ETH with nanominer but gives me only 4 MH/s

You can mine ethereum classic with ethereum payout on zergpool.com with The Team Black miner

You made me curious.I have a few rigs in total that do 210 Mhsh in Ethereum Classic but I am using Phoenix there mining ETC+ZIL and receiving good payouts like near 300 or a bit more dollars a month.What can be the payout of 210 Mhsh by using zergpool.com with your miner,does it have any difference or it is only to receive payouts in Ethereum rather than in Ethereum Classic.

Nothing special, you can mine with every miner etc on zergpool and let you pay in eth or btc. He's just doing a little advertising for his new very good miner. And by the way, use a better miner -> phoenixminer is a bad miner. Bad support, no new features for months, inflated hashrates and so on.

My suggestion! Learn more about mining -> 4GB is not enough for mining eth
