Hi,

I am a technical person who has just entered the fray of cryptocurrency mining so I am a newbie.

I have a rig with two RX580 cards. I am running Claymore miner for GPU. I am mining MONERO from miningpoolshub.com.
Despite a lot of initial difficulty, I got it working but I have a very low hash rate.
At best I can 600 hash per second with both cards.
Something is wrong because I have seen youtubers getting mh/s in speed.

These are my settings:
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -xpool stratum+ssl://us-east.cryptonight-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12024 -xwal xxxx.yyy -xpsw x -dmem 1 -h 1900 -mport 0


What do I have to do to get it to a mh/s speed?
Is there a special driver I need to use?

Thanks in advance for the help.



You need to do a bios modification of your cards in order to achieve higher hashrate, usually 800+ h/s per card is a normal standard after bios mod for a RX 580. Other than that you can use blockchain driver which you can download from AMD website here

Or if you are using latest Adrenaline drivers make sure you switch the GPU workload to Compute Mode.

Here is a video to help you understand the basic concept of bios modification. If you are a tech person like you say , you will have no problems doing it yourself.
