Hi,

i'm new to mining.
i just got my Sapphire Pulse RX560 4G. but i only can install for 4 card. when i install for 5 and 6 cards it will show only 3 card able to run.
can anyone share how to install 6 cards driver and run? Smiley

My Sapphire Pulse 4G OC. I lowered the gpu clock 1300 to 1200 and set the fan speed from automatic (73 C) to fixed 40% (70 C) Didnt touch the memory clock and power limit. https://i.imgur.com/5ledH80.png

i did some test with POWERCOLOR RED DRAGON RX560 4G by stock it managed to produce averagely 12MH/s. Topped at 13.1MH/s, with the draw of 43watts.

not really bad isn't it?



What happens when you crank the mem clock up to 2ghz+ and update the bios timings?

I'm setting up a 7 rig of 560's today, build it all for $1200

Yeah they are not the most efficient MH/s to watt but right now times are tough trying to find good cards..  and I had an extra 600w of power on a circuit that needs to be used.
 Grin

And you can actually buy them in stock. Cheesy

Also building a 7 rig of 1060's next week.


Which brand for the 560's?

Did you build your 560's rig? How did it turn out?

Mining rig with 12x560s would mine with the same speed as 6x570s, but you will use more space and double of motherboard/CPU/RAM/HDD/rigs/etc.
Maybe going with Nvidia is a decent option these days when no AMDs can be found.

RX 560 is just half the rx 570. Half the price, half mining performance, half power consumption. I believe 2 of this cards are equal to rx 570.
Yes you need to take 12 cards to make hashrate like 6x570/580, but when you can't fiend cards this is much better alternative then nvidia. Besides when the new asrock mobo with 13 slots arive you can save from cpu,ram and ssd.

I too believe RX560 is quite a good card for mining and a good buy right now.

15 MH/s for 110$ish is pretty good imo.

With the inflated price of hardware the average 6x GPU rig has went from around $1600 (6 RX480/580's, 1000 W PSU, CPU, Mobo, SDD, Risers, etc.) to nearly $2,000. Considering the network hash-rate and difficulty is also increasing at a rapid rate, any sustained downtrend in the coin prices will be hitting these recent sub-optimal rigs hard, and even be putting the hurt on ROI times for the more optimal rigs as well.

The current "correction" may be temporary, but should Ethereum drop back to the $40-50 range (which was excellent profitability just 2 months ago) , the ROI on the above rig would exceed 365 days, or one year. The problem with such a rapid run-up in price and the concurrent on-boarding of new miners makes it almost mandatory for the price to continue to inflate at the same rate to keep up. Once this stops the effects are compounded and those rosy 60-70 day ROI projections are going to quickly turn into year+ endeavors.

The purpose of this post is not to necessarily discourage getting into mining, but more to caution against just blindly throwing money at anything can can produce a hash-rate and think it is going to pay off. RX560's will be hard pressed soon to even turn a profit. Wait a month or two and I suspect a lot mining hardware will be plentiful and cheap on ebay and elsewhere.
typical fake news doomsday post , eth will never drop below $180 again In the near future too many
ppl waiting to scoop up cheap eth if thst happens just shut up man
just be honest and say u dont want anyone to join the goldrush you sir are pathetic

ethe to $40? come on bro.  I do agree that rx 560 are worthles for mining eth, look on ebay for 390s and nanos if you can find them , or wait for cards to be restocked

Hey all, Anyone sucessfully modify a Sapphire Non-Nitro 4GB RX460 yet? I was going to take a page out of @Priviets book and just copy timings but when I opened up the Polaris BIOS editor I found something WAY different than I had seen when I modified my 480s. Instead of showing the usual times like 1750, 2000.. etc. it was a lot higher numbers like 167972 and 168172 etc. So not knowing that meant I have gave up on modifying until I can get someone who has experience with modding these cards.

the rx560 is not the exact same hardware as the vanilla 460.  It has the full polaris 11 chip (1024 cores). How much it increases the hashrate, I dont know.

That is interesting... did not notice that.

I may buy some RX560s and build a rig to try them out.

if week or two will solve the problem I wouldnt concern at all. But I went from Vienna to Budapest and Belgrade, also watched Bratislava shops online but noone can promise me reservation for cards..
yeah, we have order for 200cards, and after three weeks, they supplied us with only 16cards,
reminds me same situation, which was with 280X
Pretty much looks like AMD and Nvidia made the most out of the alt coin market as all of their cards are selling like hot cakes and it is really difficult to find the cards even for players like me who wants to upgrade the GPU to play some games,only hope is that they would increase their production and maximize the profit because alt coin market might not continue forever.

I modded the bios successfully and increased the mining speed to ~14.xxx mh/s with the following settings:


If the speed is at 14 MH / s then what is the power consumption?
I'm interested that, because 560 costs half price 570. Wink

Yeah, I want to know too. If it's half of 570's power draw, that will be good.

About 40 watts each after undervolt and no 6/8 pin PCI-E power connector required. About 80 MH/s for 6 cards and 550W at the wall.

^^^^^^^ That's actually for the RX 460's, but the RX 560's should be very similar.

I agree. Difficulty seems to rising exponentially unfortunately.

The big reason why AMD can't simply just boost production is because if they did that and mining became unprofitable again like with the 200 series boom, they'd be stuck rebranding old cards, and it'd be another 300 series fiasco. I don't like what they're doing right now, but they're doing it for a reason.
