is there any faster miner for grin and AMD then GGM?
have you tried any of the bminer builds?
Does it support Grin with AMD (rx500 or vega series) cards? I think it says it supports AMD overall but not sure about grin?
I'm using GrinPro 1.1 through AwesomeMiner for 4 XFX - AMD Radeon RX 570 RS Black Edition 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Cards (RX-570P8DBDR) and I'm getting 6.4H/s at ~525W. I have a feeling that it can perform better but I can't figure out what's going on with these cards. I just installed them so I haven't flashed any bios or anything. I was actually reading that I didn't have to because it has the dual bios switch (handy.) But for ETH I'm only getting ~110MH/s for the four cards. So I'm guessing that 6.4H/s is going to be about as good as it's going to get.
Seems
one GTX1070 at 130W power consumption gives practically the same hashrate as
three RX570. Is it still so profitable to mine GRIN with AMD GPUs ?
Well... I get about 4.2 per 1070 at about 110w (ave) and at 80% power limit.
My OC settings are:
80% PL
50 CC
700 Mem
So with my 8 GTX 1070 I average about 33.5 to 34 which brings about 1 Grin a day.
For my 4 RX 570 8gb (XFX with bios mod switch without any bios edits) I only average about 1.65 each with an average of 130W as well. I'm still fishing for optimal OC settings though but it seems that 1.65 - 1.7 is normal.
That only brings in 6.5 which is only 0.1918325 Grin a day.
So yeah... AMD cards currently suck at Grin. Even if I had 8 RX 570 (like my GTX 1070 rig) I figure that I'd be using over 1,000W for only 0.4 Grin a day. I'd actually be losing money at the current price per Grin on my AMD setup.
HOWEVER...
I'm being optimistic. (Not so much that I'm rushing out to fill up on RX 570 cards.)
For my 1070 rig (of 8 Founders Edition cards) I was only getting about 2 Grin a day with gminer a few weeks ago.
Then I switched to bminer and it jumped up by about 25% instantly. Now I'm getting over 4 by simply updating the miner software. I got a little excited by this which is why I bought these 4 570's for about $175 each because I was expecting the same results as soon as bminer started working for AMD. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case... yet. But the devs are working hard to give us the most that we can earn from them. I can't complain really because in two weeks I've earned 20.3 Grin (at $8.28) and 83.3 Beam (at $2.16) so in conclusion this was a quick and easy $348 during a bear market. So I'm keeping both of them running hoping that things turn around soon and that mining software improves. Especially for AMD cards.
