RE: AMD Releases Special Driver for Cryptocurrency Mining

in #ethereum7 years ago

I've been getting 21+ Mh/s from my AMD RX 580 4GB card running DaggerHashimoto with NiceHash. Would be nice to bump that up a little. It's generating about $1.50 a day but uses about 118 Watts for the card alone so thats maybe 50 cents a day for electricity and about a dollar profit.

Sort:  

Your RX 580 seem low....my Rx570 is doing 23.5Mh/s stock duel mode.

I am doing duel mode now, so a little better at $1.60 per day. Maybe I'll try the new driver sometime. Thanks for letting me know what rate you get!

too low, i'm getting 23Mh ETH + 694.482 Mh/s DECR from a single 580. without OC or bios mod on my linux box.

GPU0 is my 580..the rest are overclocked 1060s

ETH - Total Speed: 104.636 Mh/s, Total Shares: 4522, Rejected: 0, Time: 54:04
ETH: GPU0 23.149 Mh/s, GPU1 20.425 Mh/s, GPU2 20.272 Mh/s, GPU3 20.363 Mh/s, GPU4 20.428 Mh/s
DCR - Total Speed: 1509.345 Mh/s, Total Shares: 14524, Rejected: 151
DCR: GPU0 694.482 Mh/s, GPU1 204.246 Mh/s, GPU2 202.716 Mh/s, GPU3 203.626 Mh/s, GPU4 204.275 Mh/s

Is your 580 the 4 GB or 8? Mine is 4, if that matters.

Are you saying your 580 is doing both ETH and DCR at the same time? If so, how do I find the setting to do that too?

use claymore duel miner

4GB (Saphire Nitro+). Use Claymore miner, it can mine some DCR without affecting ETH rates (i have similar on my 480 on windows but there i overclock) . Also i found with geth my cpu usage was high (on both linux and windows it seemed to chew up 1/2 core per gpu. so 4 gpus kept my 2 core cpu at nearly 100% until i switched miners. (with Claymore it went down to 5%. ).

Thanks for the information!

You should be getting higher hashrates!

Just upgraded to https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMinerLegacy/releases/tag/1.8.1.1
Still just getting 21 but now it is doing duel mode and getting 0.6 on Decred, so earnings up to $1.60 a day butt graphic card Wattage is 148W. Not gonna be making a lot of money, but will use it to heat my room in the Winter :P

The chart in the article shows 25+ Mh/s for an RX 580 with 8 GB. Mine is just 4 GB so maybe that's why my rate is 21? Any tips or advice?

overclock using TRIXX or MSI AFTERBURNER

@ kenny-crane for mining do I need to use normal window machine or other dedicated machine?... I'm not very familiar with mining equipment... This is interesting...

I am using a Cyberpower gaming computer I got from Best Buy for $650. It runs Windows 10 and I mine with Nice Hash Miner v1.7.5.13 but there are newer versions out now that I will try. Good Luck!

Thanks for the info sharing... Really appreciated it...
