So is it normal that by the "quick'n'easy way" of bios modding I can only achieve about 29,4 mh/s with those cards on ethash?
Thanks in adv.
Yes if you do like this example below you will do.
1. Download Polaris Bios Editor 1.6.x and above versions
2. Download ATIflash 2.77 latest version, or if there is a new one, download the newest.
3. Download Atipatcher.
How to bios mod with the simple method.
1. Open Atiflash as administrator and save the original bios of the card, name it "original.rom"
2. Open up Polaris Bios Editor as Administrator, click open and load the "original.rom" bios, once loaded click ONE TIMING PATCH
3. Save this new bios with a different name "moddedbios.rom"
4. Fire up again Atiflash as administrator and click LOAD this time, load the "moddedbios.rom" and then click PROGRAM or PATCH(usually is PROGRAM) the command at least in my version is PROGRAM.
5. Wait 2 minutes after is done the flashing of the card and then restart your PC.
6. After restarting your PC run Atipatcher as administrator and patch found values, click OK.
7. Go to MSI afterburner, put core clock 1200 and memory clock 2100, a card with Samsung Memory should even go up to 2250 as memory clock but try slowly starting from 2100 until you have found the limit.
RX 580 8GB Samsung Memory will easily do 29.9-31.6 Mhash on Ethhash.
I would have mod the bios for you but no RX 580 available to use so I can't. Anyway if you follow my above tutorial there is 0 chance of error.
Always Blockchain driver with modded bios cards otherwise MSI Afterburner will not recognize core clocks and memory clocks of the cards.
Hey, thanks for your response. I already did it this way, with one exception: after modding I tried it on SMOS and as we prob. all know it's linux based - I'm getting 29,4 mh/s mostly without errors on this one - am I correct assuming that this is mainly because of lack of the proper drivers on linux?
