How are 4gb cards still able to pull 24-27mhs from mining ETH today?

[bitcoin-shark]

obviously it is better to use fewer cards but at full capacity than all the cards with less yield, i have to try this type of mining the 2 most performing 4g cards on eth and the others on rvn, maybe this way the earnings go up

[powvex]

Actually Even mining boards with a single long slot work fine.  i have done this on H81 and even TB85.  1 4gb in gpu 0 slot mining eth.  The other gpus on another coin on risers.  Running the one card on eth pays more than running it on any other coin currently.  The other slower cards are better on other coins than the reduced speed due to dag on eth.  

what linux os did you used? Did you be able to run eth + rvn on same machine? could you pelase explain more?

...

unfortunately, i'm getting 0 hashrate in zombie mode, is there something wrong here:

Keep it running for a while, it needs to auto-tune.

Yes give it a few minutes and watch the screen will do a base line tune 4 parts then tune each gpu then fine tune.  Hash will go up and down and when it complete tuning to will pick the most efficient.

Make sure card is in the slot (not on riser) for max effect.  Should end up 25+mhs.

Thanks for all the help.
I’ve got 25+ on h110 and 22+ on socket 775

What a cheap good cheap mobo that you suggest?

Did you test rx560 too? Are they worth it?

Ps: I love mmpos so far, it’s very light and good os. I’m running it live from usb without any problems. I’ll soon switch to it

Ive tested using RX560 4gb = 13.60mhs  (corrected as it finished tuning)
Ive tested using RX550 4gb = 11.21mhs

Thats the smallest/olderst RX cards i still have.
