it is possible to get some link, for bios for, sapphire nitro+ oc 4Gb for 30-+mhs ?
Please.


You just need to search this thread. There are quite a few good mod bios for several GPU brands.

Could I have some help pleaseeee...

Rig overview:
Win 10 Pro
AMD 16.10.2
XFX RX 480 8GB

Issue:
When running older AMD drivers, I am able to load custom ROMs (using the driver sig method).
After updating to 16.10.2 the drivers are showing a warning in Device Manager... therefore Claymore will not mine.

Troubleshooting carried out:
Reset WattMan
Flashed back to Stock ROM
Uninstalled GPUs in Device Manager
Ran AMD Removal Tool
Installed 16.10.2 < GPUs working on Stock ROM at this point.
Flash custom BIOS (Boysie Low Pwr 29Mhs) < Was working on older driver without issues

Am I missing something, why cant the custom ROM load with the newest driver?

The Powercolor cards give 30mh/s at 1125/2200.

The Sapphire cards give 29.7mh/s at 1125/2150.

They give identical performance at the same clock speeds.

Whats the error rate at am geussing no errors on the power as explaind before. Think somone was asking to use some tool to posts its error results after x time cant find the post to it. But still looking good tho guessing ig hitting 30MH on the cards then am guessing the powercolor seems to be more of a solid card then compared with sapphire

I've got a couple of Powercolor Devil RX480 8GB coming tomorrow. Anyone else using these for mining?

Edit:
Put the new Powercolor Devil RX480s in my main PC so moved the Sapphire cards into one rig of 6.

6 x Sapphire Nitro+ RX480, mining at 180mh/s, drawing 845w from the wall with a EVGA 1300w G2. I suspect if I was to use my EVGA 1600W T2 I could get it down to 820w, maybe even less.

All cards set to 1130/2175 with core voltage at 0.9v.

I knew it could be done!

Happy to post video proof if anyone wants?  Cool

Nice work on the nitro indeed. You modding any of the MSI range or you already tweekd round with them?

Thanks Smiley Not played with any of the MSI cards and no intention to currently.

These Powercolor cards are good though, while the Sapphire ones seem to top out between 2150~2175 on the memory, quite a lot of memory errors at 2175. These Powercolor cards will go to 2200+ on the memory and no errors Cheesy

With regards to your powercool cards worth grabbing vs sapphire if same price then as found shop that appears to be doing the sapphire and also powercool at same price and seeing you topping 2200+ on cool card am guessing getting a nice extra hash too. Whats th power you drawing from it?

Did you get the refferance design or did you get the red devil version? Thanks in advance.

I don't know the power draw from the wall for these cards exactly, but it can't be much different to the Sapphire cards. And yes they're the three fan Devil cards.

What hash you getting from them devil cards compared to sapphire ?

What kind of hashrate is typical for a nano/fury/fury x?
newbie
Activity: 65
Merit: 0

Yes. What GPU/Memory clocks do you want? I found my cards don't like more than 2150 on the memory and therefore core clock of 1125 is about the max needed. Gives me 29.7mh/s per card.

I can set GPU voltage to 1v, but not yet tried to edit the BIOS voltage ofset, so if you want lower GPU voltage you'll need to do it in software.

I can post later let me know what you want.

29-30Mhs is fine. I can adjust voltage in AB later.

1125/2080 settings look like those from this website:https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/9650/sapphire-rx-480-nitro-oc-8gb-11260-01-20g-modded-bios-29-mh-downvolt

If so - this does not work on my card

The original BIOS is: 113-2E3470U.S52

Thank you!

I'll see what I can do for you this evening.

Cheers

EDIT: I'm under 810w now and still maintaining 178.6mh/s. Been stable all weekend Smiley

That is very efficient. It is more efficient than the AMD R9 Nano. Your card is less than 50% of the Nano.

Hi everyone, I am mining eth solo with claymore 7.1 and I have OC my RX480 8 gb today.

Everything about the software looks fine, but I was wondering:

1) can I exit the test mode on win10 without causing any crash and how? (which command?)

2) what are the best settings in wattman to make sure that the cards have the lowest consumption possible and that they run as much stable as possible around the 31mh/s? Core, memory, fan, and temp? (at the moment they are varying between <24 and >30, which seems quite a lot)

this is the procedure I have followed to enable the test mode:

i) Press Windows Key + X to open Power User Menu. Select Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
ii) Once the Command Prompt open, enter bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS and press Enter. Then enter bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON and press Enter.
iii) Close Command Prompt and restart your PC.

and this is the mod. rom: https://15254b2dcaab7f5478ab-24461f391e20b7336331d5789078af53.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/ethereum.vanillaforums.com/editor/9p/vv6t6jnquwj1.zip

Thank you for you help
Test mode? No man, just use new drivers 16.9.1 to 16.10.2 - all are good and no need for test mode. Where were you past months?

Lol, I am relatively new to the all mining thing, so you mean, once I flashed the cards, I can just install one of the new drivers and exit the test mode now?
Or once I have complete flashing them (which I have) can I just exit the test mode anyway, using bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF, or can something wrong happen if I exit the test mode now that I have flashed the cards?

I am currently using crimson 16.7.3 minimal package because they appeared to be very stable.

What do you suggest? Thanks very much man

For the new drivers, there will be no signature verification. So you do not need to use the test mode anymore.
Just wipe old drivers ( uninstall,restart, than delete ATI folder),  install new drivers, flash bioses and - go...
(get bioses with moded memory timings for your cards or mod yours with Polaris bios editor )


Should I exit the test mode before or after installing the new drivers?

In your experience which one is the most stable (new) driver for OC RX480?

Do I have to flash the cards again once I have installed the new drivers?

I have Polaris BIOS editor, but I have no idea of what memory timings would be good for me...do you know which config. is the best to eth solo mining?

Also I have copied in the drivers folder a modified Atikmdag.sys driver, should I delete it before going ahead with this new editing?


Sorry for the many questions, I am still learning, thank you very much for your help
Please read again. I quoted so you can see answers grouped.
1. Test mode...Quoted.
2. Answered. Read Quote.
3.Yes. Read quote.
4. Read quote.Google. ( how to use Polaris and to flash bios )

Here you can find some stable rom's: https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/9650/sapphire-rx-480-nitro-oc-8gb-11260-01-20g-modded-bios-29-mh-downvolt.
The modded bios works for Nitro + OC both versions (SN 11260-01-20G and SN 11260-07-20G) if you flash the new BIOS on "silent" BIOS jumper position. You can find more details there.

I perfectly aware of this ROM. Applying it my hashrate dropped to 5MHs - no idea why, but it does not work with me
