Installed today the newest AMD driver ( 16.9.1 ) on my setup 2x6 RX 480 ( not reference cards )
Here is my build topic :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/my-build-info-3-psu-3-mobo-16-cards-combo-for-eth-480mhs-1614386Without any modifications or tune , the mobo + 6xRx480 non reference card is pulling around 1100watts at the wall .
After a little play with wattman, I successfully reduced the power usage to 750 watts , without increasing the memory speed at this point the 6 card was hashing with 148-149 MH/s (around 24.7 MH/s each card )
Pushed the memory speed to (4x) 2100 , power consumption increased to 760-780 watts , with a 155-156 MH/s hashing power . ( around 26 MH/s each card )
Just to be clear , if I'm running my rig with up to 3 cards , I'm able to get close to 28MH/s each ... With 6 cards is a little bit different :-(
Created one custom bios rom for one of my XFX card , flashed successfully, but with the modded bios , Windows 10 did not recognized the card , or I would say it did , but got a error msg something like there is a problem with the device , so flashed back the saved original bios file and now win 10 recognized the card ...
I did not tried this with the newest driver installed 16.9.1 just read about the modded bios check is disabled in the latest driver . So it's time to go try again a few mods :-)
