If someone finds a way to decode and re-encode the memory timings for HBM1 it would be of great help nowadays, I've heard comments that you can get a lot of performance out of it as far as kawpow and etchash... The biosmods of these cards were lost in limbo

Also here I leave my grain of sand, these are timing that I found by chance in the forum and implanted it in the vbios (they are slow timing) maybe it can be useful for someone

https://www109.zippyshare.com/v/my2xJZr0/file.html <------ It has a minimum voltage of 775 mv so there is a large margin for undervolting PD, disclaimer, I am not responsible for the damage caused although the changes are very minimal compared to the original bios, it applies only to the nitro version of sapphire

PD2, in case of failure these cards have dual bios, change to the main one and repair the secondary bios with a previously made backup

What the hashrate for etchash and kawpow with your bios?

I guess in terms of performance and efficiency the nano is ahead in architecture fiji PD, they released a version for ETC + KASPA for these cards with lolminer

Oh New Release 6 hours ago
Added experimental ETC+Kaspa solver for R9 285 / R9 380 (Tonga), RX Fury (Fiji) and RX 460 / 550 (Baffin) GPUs

Thank to Notify Wink

Its rare to have people actually mining with the R9 Fury. I remember back in 2015 they were very expensive and had many hardware defects and people either used the slightly less efficient R9 290X or they waited until the Polaris came out in 2016 and the efficiency was pretty much on par. After summer 2016, nobody really used the Fury for mining.

They were popular with gamers and most miners sold their Furys and bought some Polaris cards. So this is why you don't really hear too much discussion about the chipset. I think it was AMDs least produced chipset.

I still mining with R9 NANO.
I give some information for someone who have R9 Fury. Not suggestion to buy it now. Wink

PD, in any case if it has the shortened version (the fury with 56 cu sapphire) I can upload the vbios with the modified timing and you will be able to verify that amdmemtweak does not reflect the changes although in mining it behaves differently

I have version 64cu and I can applay timing with amdmemtweak it reflect to some algorithm as Argon2d-nim hash from 360 KH/s to 400 KH/s. But now not time to mine NIM

I suppose that the versions of 56 have a bottleneck due to the missing cu.

Does anyone still keep memory strap modded in hexadecimal format or at least biod mod? I have the original straps but I have no way to decode it, there is nothing related to the HBM memories (linux user, amdmemtweak doesn't work there on fiji-HBM architecture)

What the mining result with memory strap modded?

amdmemtweak work fine on HiveOS. You can run command with menu "Run Command".
example command "amdmemtweak --REF 17000 --RFC 48 --RC 20 --RCDR 6 --RCDW 6 --RCDRA 6 --RCDWA 6 --R2W 6 --W2R 6 --FAW 1"

If you have good strap mod command, let me know it, I have 10 Fury NANO Cheesy

I am precisely in hiveos and apparently it does not seem to work, as an example I have implanted straps in vbios and amdmemtweak apparently does not reflect the changes

I have confirmed that the changes can be "remarkable" I have some timing strap that I got on the internet but I don't know for sure what changes there are in those straps because I haven't found tools to decode it (there is only for GDDR5)

Who have R9 NANO rig, What about your mining?
Still mining?

For me. I'm fine I'm OK. Still fun mining.

34khs in trtl v2 is good hashrate, i had one, lay down never mine with nano again

i know nano has good eficiency compared to newer card and easy to config with bios editing

old card its niice simple flashing mod bios and good to go, no need other config, this card quite hot with single fan

On mid power
Hashrate: 34kh/s
Power: 120w

For High power
Hashrate: 36Mh/s
Power: 141w

For expert miner can use "AMD Memory Tweak XL" config --REF 104 --tRFC 48 --tRC 20 --tRCDR 6 --tRCDW 6 --tRCDRA 6 --tRCDWA 6 --tR2W 6 --tW2R 6 --tFAW 1

Result is
On mid power
Hashrate: 36kh/s
Power: 120w

For High power
Hashrate: 40Mh/s

Thanks I have a R9 FURY doing 160w @ 18mh/s (850 core/850mv/500mem) (220w at wall on Octominer riseless mobo).

Have you tried unlocking your Nano for extra shaders? I tried mine but it wasn't able to unlock at all.

I use last update official bios https://www.amd.com/en/support/gpu-firmware-download
