OK, so Amazon decided to send me 4 RX580 that I ordered back in july/august
Since then I built only nVidia mining rigs, but now I decided to give it a go with RX 580s, but it is completely new territory for me...
For now, I got 2 XFX RX580 GTS 8Gb XXX editions, one with Samsung and one with Hynix memory.
The cards have a small microswitch for dual BIOS, so I switched to the so called mining BIOS. The thing is I'm not exactly happy with the card's performance, as I understand they should hit 30 Mh/s easily while solo mining with Claymore
Here are the facts:
- I installed the latest radeon drivers, and made sure that it was set to compute workload (I'm using Win10 and Claymore 10.1 btw.)
- I didn't update the BIOS yet, since they are supposed to have Mining BIOSes already (As advertised by XFX)
- The one equipped with Samsung RAM can reach 30Mh/s with heavy OC (1250/2230, and no undervolt). Undervolting to 925mV in MSI AB drops performance to 28,5Mh/s)
- Hynix card is even worse, around 27Mh/s and setting power limit or voltage in MSI AB doesn't seem to have any effect, it stays above 1000mV (1150/2200).
- I checked the BIOS of the card with SAMSUNG RAM, and it has the same strap for 1750 and 2000 so I don't know how could I finetune the memory timings
- Right now the 2 GPU's are in my gaming PC, the top one is getting pretty hot around 75 celsius (this won't be a problem once I move the cards to an open air rig.)
Any suggestions/tips would be welcome
