Re: RX 560 4GB Ethereum

Thank you for your reply, Call_Me_Bambi.
That helped a lot. First half of your email sort of confirmed what I understood from my research last 3 days and the second half does give me a very good path forward. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I mined XMR first day and SIGN threafter. for 16 USD to 20 USD a week, returnwise.
Poolwise I used MinerGate and NideHash.
I see returns 20%-25% better on other pools/coins/algos on whattomine, and those seem to change almost daily.
Since my hashpower is limited to 2x RX560, I take a while to mine enough for a payout.
Should I stay focused on 1 or 2 pools and use their algos (both pools have multi algos) or shold I just swap pool on a daily basis based on whattomine suggests?
Also, on whattomine I don't see the 560 so I usually pick 1x 570 and I sort of imagine it should be about as much hashrate as 2x 560.
What card(s) should I use on whattomine to get the best returns for 560?

Lastly.... Power.
My Mobo has 4x PCIs but my PSU is 400w. I believe I am on my power limmit with my current 2x RX560 as you also pointed.
Should I:
1) stick to my current rig as it is (2x RX560) and use it to learn more for another 2 months before investing
2) get a 600 PSU and 2x RX560 = 600 USD investment = 20 USD/week = 30 week ROI
3) new 6x 560 budget rig = 1800 USD investment = 60 USD/week = 30 week ROI
4) new 6x 570 or 6x580 rig (didn't make the maths yet)

Both will take about the same time to pay themselves, the difference is that second option has more risk, but if the whole mining thing doesn't collapse, I will have a higher return once investment is covered. What do you think? I live in central europe and a 570 8GB costs 3x as much as a 560 4GB. 580 8GB costs 4x. I didn't consider rigs with 570 or 580. Should I?

Re: (XMR) Monero mining with 4x RX 560 4GB - Profitable?

I get 290 H/s per card on my 2x Radeon RX560 OC Gamming @ stock BIOS and mem clock 1970 (2000 max stock clock).
Try to increase your HashCnt in the config (Claymore Miner) to ( -h 896 ) or higher until it drops down.
That boosted to a combined 630 H/s.
Thank you!

For my cards the best config (for sgminer-gm miner) is:
Code:
-w 8 -g 2 --rawintensity 520
sgminer-gm crashes my PC for some reason. will look into it and take your input into account. thanks.
So far only Claymore (XMR) and Skunk (SIGN) have been used by NiceHash.

Hi
I get 290 H/s per card on my 2x Radeon RX560 OC Gamming @ stock BIOS and mem clock 1970 (2000 max stock clock).
I get about 8 USD profitability per week on each card (before power cost). Is this normal?
I see you guys reporting 400+ H/s.
Are those values from previous dificulty (easier) or still getting that?
I am very new to mining, this is my 2nd day.

For more information on my setup - My original post elsewhere.

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v10.2 (Windows/Linux)

I am new to mining (2nd day into it).
I downloaded the most recent version of Claymore's Dual miner, and I use:
A10 6300 (currently mining XMR @ 46 H/s using 3 of the 4 cores)
2x RX560 (currently mining Signum @ 8.8MH/s each)
Windows 7

When I try to run the bechmark on NiceHash I get an error saying it didn't find msvcp120.dll.
Can it be because I use windows 7?
I downloaded the mentioned DLL from an online library but I don't really know where to drop it.
I have copies on:
/win
/win/system32
/NiceHash
/NiceHash/bin3rdparty/Claymore

And it still says it cant find the file.
What can I do to make this miner work?
Thank you.

Hi All
I started mining 2 days ago and this is my very first post.

I use:
AMD A10 6300 @ stock clock, 3 out of 4 cores mining XMR @ 45-47H/s with Claymore_Old on MinerGate pool.
Radeon RX560 4GB OC @ 1970 mem clock mining 8.8 MH/s with Skunk (prospector) on NiceHash pool
Radeon RX560 4GB OC @ 1970 mem clock mining 8.8 MH/s with Skunk (prospector) on NiceHash pool
Boards are on the Mobo (ASRock FM2a75 Pro 4 (4x PCIe)
Mining alternative: 290H/s on XMR on each card on NiceHash
8 GB RAM
120 GB OZ SSD
400w PSU
This is just an old gaming rig with 2x 560 I bought for mining purposes, to learn what all this is about.
I have limited cryptos knowledge.

The temperatures are nicely low.
CPU runs at 50-51 celcius (only 3 of the 4 cores mining, it reboots otherwise).
GPUs at 55-57 celcius for the card next to the CPU and 52-54 for the other one.
I have them on a regular ATX case with open side.

I read nicehash had some issues a few weeks ago, and I don't know what other pools/miners/systems/wallets/etc to use.
After a few days of reading I made 2 wallets on 2 different places, and I am mining into them half-half.
I have not been able to mine Etherium since NiceHash says equiash and daggerHashimoto has lower returns on my system at least right now.

So my questions are:
1) Nicehash says I will mine about 16-18 USD per WEEK depending on the algorithm. Is that acceptable these days for my setup?
2) I have another 2 PCIe on my Mobo. Should I buy a better PSU (600w?), add 2 more rx560, and rise everything?
3) I use stock roms on both RX560. Is it worthy to use a modded rom? Will the extra returns compensate the trouble/time/risk/heat/power?
4) Should I abandon NiceHash and mine with another tool/pool/etc? What do you guys mine on a 4G 560 currently?
5) PLEASE PM me any first week advice you may have.

If you need more information or screenshots I will be happy to provide.

Thank you all :-)
