I will introduce a few modes for heavy algos in next version, so everyone can find the one that works for him best.

1. Optimal intensity can sometimes differ even for the same brand cards, so i don't really know how to calculate the best value. Unfortunately its a try-fail game until you find the best one. It's not always the highest intensity that gives the best results.

2. Intensity = number of global threads (in other miners that value is SRB intensity x 16). Now when you do scratchpad size * global threads you get the approx size of memory that will be used.
example for heavy : 56 * 16 * 4 = 3584mb.

3. There is, check the first page Smiley (--enableduplicategpuid (enables the usage of the same gpu id in gpu_conf multiple times))

Hmm... Will try some more tests with these RX560.
3. Oh, sorry Smiley Now I see. Thanks Smiley))

4. Also dont use 18.3.4
The 18.3.4 has a probles with Vega, but on other models there is no issues. I'am reverted back all rigs to 18.3.4, because, the newest drivers has a bug - some cards are detected as RX580, but they actually are RX570. And in my IMHO, 18.3.4 is more stable.
