Is there a specific brand of RX 480 that is outperforming the rest? I am interested in getting a Sapphire, Gigabyte or MSI though still not sure whether to get 4GB or 8GB.
The best cards for mining are cheap reference ones. Also I like red devils 480 8gb

There is no mining performance difference between the 4GB and the 8 GB. The extra memory is not used.
Total bullshit. How can you give an advice if you even did not know ((

RX 480 nad  R9 390X are good GPUs to mine.

I wonder if the CPU-motherboard configuration affects the ethereum hashing or not.I use pentium cpus with asrock h81 pro mother boards.

Don't bother. time for XMR mining was 2013.
Mine other coin and trade for XMR if you think it will raise further.
Good alternatives are LBRY (if Nvidia) or traditional ETH + 2nd coin combo if AMD

That is right. The mining difficulty for the Monero has also risen quite a lot recently. So it is not the most profitable.

The mining difficulty of Monero has dropped about 20% in the last 4 days. That is similar to the price drop.

The mining difficulty of the Etheruem is an all time high now. It increases with the increase of the Eth price.

The hashing power for the Ethereum dropped a little in the last few days. Where did not hash go?

The RX470 can get like 28mh/s and also dual mine SIA with the equivalent hashrate of like 31mh/s. Just need to bios hack the vbios and mod the memory strap settings.

Did you just copy the memory strap settings from the lower frequency to the higher frequency or make other modifications?

Yes that's what I did. There are many guides on the steps involved and how to hack your Windows signature checks.

Would you mind share some tips about this BIOS ?
I have only 480, but if those are the hash rate i will buy 470 too

p.s. 4Gb or 8Gb ?

Do you mean if both are mod to the maximum, the RX 480 is still better than the 470? If that is the case, I will buy the 480.
Yeah, that's it!
Best result i've heard about :
- rx 480 31Mhash
- rx 470 25.5Mhash
So it depends on required density and the price that u can get

If that is the case, then I shall buy the RX 480. It has better density so I can have more hashing power per rig.

The best gpu for scrypt mining is the Asus strix r7 370 4gb. This bad boy is power efficient. It draws 110w and gives you 15mh (17mh OC) of ethereum mining. Right now you can get them with a $30rebate brand new. https://www.amazon.com/Radeon-Overclocked-256-bit-DisplayPort-Graphics/dp/B00ZQ3QVJK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1471500653&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+strix+4gb&linkCode=ll1&tag=technology304304-20&linkId=15ea6672c1c998b748dfe71d0d8ab041


 I have 5 of these gpu´s in my rig. To power my rig I chose Evga 1000w Gold with 6 pcie vga cables.

Very important to get a real good power supply.

It is better to use the RX 470 to mine the Ethereum. The price is lower than the 480 and has similar mining performance.

I heard that Eliovp has modified the RX 480 BIOS and can mine the Ethereum at over 31 MH/s. But he has not made one for 470 yet.

Some people has made some BIOS mod for the 470. It seems the 470 can achieve similar results as the 480.

there are modes for the 480x also which will give you more hashes if care fully done. the price difference matters after an extend!!!

Do you mean if both are mod to the maximum, the RX 480 is still better than the 470? If that is the case, I will buy the 480.

yeah that's correct , also it a bit tricky for the mod to implement , but once you get it working it is much better than 470..head down to the forum post about 480x

If that is the case, I will buy some RX 480. 480 is better for other algorithms as well as it has more cores and it can be mine more than you're expecting you need a tricky mod there to implement did you try at Remote Desktop ? or VPS ?
