Unlock bios Powercolor RX5600XT for samsung memory

https://bitby.ru/bios-rx5600xt-mod-en.php
Yeah you can get MSI unlocked bios here also. https://youtu.be/tvmutIkbNIs
But what i have noticed you can flash this even on different brand and it will be working.

Which of these video cards is better to buy?

SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon RX 5600XT  11296-05-20G PULSE RX 5600XT BE 6G OC
MSI AMD Radeon RX 5600XT  RX 5600 XT MECH
SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon RX 5600XT  11296-01-20G PULSE RX 5600XT 6G OC
POWERCOLOR AMD Radeon RX 5600XT  AXRX 5600XT 6GBD6-3DHR/OC
I have had tested both Sapphire pulse and MSI mech , and hash-rates for MSI mech much better then Sapphire pulse unfortunetly ;(
Sapphire cards always has better built quality

With mod bios or normal bios?
Bios mod with current tools dont work, bricks the cards RX 5600XT

i got an XFX 5700 red dragon for 300$ (consider i live in Spain and here everything is much more expensive than in the US) almost brand new. I bios flashed it with the XT version of this card. At this very moment is doing 58mh/s at 140W at the wall.

In terms of efficency… you can low the Mhs but reduce the Watts in Wall... You can try 52-54Mhs with 90W... That is 1,73W x Mhs… If you look diese extra 4-6Mhs are nearly 9W x Mhs… But if you have a free plug… PUSH 58Mhs  Tongue

Hello All,

Agree with jgonzi  for the cards ranking, Sapphire is the best brand (easy replacable fan, very high quality build and impressive cooling, with NITRO+>Pulse>Pulse BE

If someone can give us information about flashing the bios I would be interrested. I saw a couple of video about rx 5700 biosmod but until now noone of rx 5600 biosmod

Regards
Jean

Bios RX 5600 is the same… copy STRAPS...

Yeah he is right it does not work, straps bricks the cards. Think this is because tools not supported with RX 5600

Does vBIOS of 14Gbps memory speed  UPDATE give an increase in hashrate in mining?
Should I flash video cards or does it not affect mining?

Still a manic miner


I have created also google spreadsheet to compare few of the cards efficiency . - https://bit.ly/3jLAzjK




You have some strange values for the Nvidia Geforce 1070 on KAWPOW algo.. I get 15mh/s @140w, far better than what you have in there.

Did you have a chance of using RTX 2080? If yes, then what would you say is better AMD RX 5700 or GeForce RTX 2080? Lately am in the market for an upgrade and I looking for something that doesn't overheat easy.

check reviews about heatsink weight, in general, the more it weights the better will be the cooling when summer hits because what is important is to keep the gpus temperature less than 70 degrees Celsius, on winter it won't matter much but on summer it will, the problem is that most reviewers don't say the heatsink weight, they should, that is important not only from a miner perspective but from an end user/gamer too.

Well that's something new I learned today I had no idea that GPU's heating is dependent on heatsink's weight. What would you say the ideal weight of heatsink should be when considering a new GPU?
its apples to oranges, ive had some gpus 470x red dragon with a fat ole heatsink but comes with one fan and the run hot and die in droves , others have dual fans an a slim heatsink works fine and they are cool.  i think i do agree  bigger is better but its just on measurable.  Does the card have vrm cooling? or just the gpu , my expreinece msi tends to have the best fans

I have not myself. Had couple pre-ordered for tests when they launched, and then there was issue with lot of cards burning, so i canceled.
But Nvidia has always been very expensive for mining , as their cost is lot higher usually then AMD. Nvidia usually does much better on core hard algorithms, but there is very little coins that would have large networks.
AMD has always been better on memory hard algorithms, and there is few coins in top 50 Mcap which has these algos.  

Any of these with great cooling should be ok. Sapphire nitros, pulse for AMD usually have great cooling

You dont need to copy all straps. It wont work with 2000 Mhz and more anyway.
it seems the ones with straps coppied are faster by 3mhs at least ar least on the msi ones that the 1550 straps were copied on.  all the 5700 tuning guides say straps and powerplay
Yeah straps on 5700 needs to be edited to reach higher performance. Powerplay if you use hiveos can be edited directly in OC now.
You are right about 1550 straps are slower slightly, depends on memory type.

i like your chart that shows what model gpu is mining what, you should also talk about the older asics that might fall off too when dag passes 4.5 gig.

do you own and asics?

I have one E3 sitting in corner. Its off dont know if it is working, need to try turn on one day. Turned off cause the hashrate was drooping cause if the dag.

Yeah heared about update, but didnt try it myself. I hate the ASICs Cheesy

i also picked up an asrock 5700 really cheap $325 any ideas how to flash this one, seems to crash when i copy both straps from 1500 to end.

What is your OC, might be your cards cannt handle OC? Or its bricked and doesnt start mining at all?

I heard there was an update to the E3 to make it mine longer back in april or so, did you apply that?

Sad news for RX 5700 as they have been absolute best mining cards lately for ROI. Most of the brands like MSI and Sapphire , they are now EOL. The XT version is still produced. Still a very good option but slightly more expensive then the non XT version for the same performance.

Just wanted to test out little brother RX 5600XT. After tests seems like a decent mining farm.

Efficiency rating is slightly better for power usage for hash then RX 5700 . But the RX 5700 is bout 0.7 usd cheaper for 1 mh/s. If the electric rate you pay is high then in long-term the days of ROI could be about the same.

Current time of ROI for 12xgpu mining rig is roughly 300 days at current ETH price and mining difficulty.

Performance :

42mh/s
@100w from the wall
OC (910 mem , Core 1100, PL 100)

I have created also google spreadsheet to compare few of the cards efficiency . - https://bit.ly/3jLAzjK
