Finally I got an setup that worked.

1. Running AMD Blockchain driver
2. Running afterburner 4.4.0 Beta 16 (raised hashrate with 20->23MH)
3. Modded Bios strapped 1500 to 2000Mhz
4. Needed to raise Pow Eth mining in afterburner to about 8% otherwise GPU was restricted to 1000Mhz
5. After raising powerlimit i got the best mining speed @ about 1070Mhz not worth an Eth goin to 1200Mhz
6. clocked the memory on the whole rig to 1958Mhz. Completly stable. Looks like I can go further with memory but its getting close to unstable.
This resulted in stablr 27MH on all cards. doin about 161MH/s on 6 cards and in techgpu its abou 89W/ card. what do you think about that guys?

Next I will try to calculate the maximum hashrate vs power consumption(price). I think there are more to optimize. Would be great with an automatic GPU tweaker that could go down card level and test drive all parameters without to have do it manually. Do you no about any tool that could do testruns automatically?


Thanks all for the help Kukus, vetevana, noburesu. Great to share thoughts with you, much easier for a beginner on GPU clocking to get some ideas from to trim everything. Ill continue to share my findings with you if I come up to something.

Yes one more thing I also tried this thing with monero but there I needed to raise the power limit to about +11% in afterburner and the GPU to about 1250Mhz@85W. Than I got 4200H/s.

and im running claymores miners in all cases.

This card was troublesome for me too at the begining. It just wouldnt mine better when I oc it.
But I menaged to troubleshoot it and rise eth mining from 21 to 26.

I am talking about https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/MINING-RX470-4G/ this card if the post is about it.

Please, when you mention the card model, tell also what memory it equipped. For example ASUS 470 STRIX normally could be with Hynix (most often) or Elpida memory onboard, but I have a friend with Samsung (which is extremely rare for ASUS 470's)
As well your GPU clocking is too high for ETH mining IMHO. My 470 STRIXes with Hynix doing 27Mh at gpu 1080 and 1925 mem settings.



I have tried to OC the memories but it has no effect. Im using the latest claymore miner v.10. It lokks somehow the afterburner has no effect when I try to overclock the memories... Its so weird. Its like the cards are running in some auto mode. I even tried to overclock the memories to 2250 but still it ran at almost 25MH...


What miners are you using for etherium mining?

One thing i noticed the GPU is running on 1020Mhz even if I have it clocked to 1200Mhz in afterburner. Does these cards have any kind of auto mode Smiley

Yes I modded the BIOS. This is my current configuration https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8J54NDM1ImqODc5UUlkUDVwNEk/view?usp=sharing
I copied the 1500Mhz timing to the 1625,1750 and 2000 timing. That improved the etherium mining from 21 to 24.7MH. I tried to clock the memories in GPU Tweak 2 but that didnt go well hashrate down to 20MH again. Do I need to raise TDP/TDC? Are they to low?

1) Try to  set memclock to 1900-1925, ASUS with Hynix performs well with these settings usually
2) Do you use "blockchain" drivers? What version is installed in system?

works for my,memclock was 2000 i set 1925 ,now i hawe at 5 GPUs  132 Mh earlier 128 Mh with Music

1) I shall try that, what TDP/TDC are you running at?
2) Yes im using the blockchain drivers. I got the best performance with them. From 21->23

Thanks for the help

I have the same problem with ASUS, i tried to clock the memories to 1800 and even than the hashrate dropped a lot.....

Running stable with this config
-dcri 5 - cvddc 900 -mvddc 900
Bios : cclock 1200 mclock 2000 tdp 115 tdc 95 MPL 115 timing copy 1500

Thats interesting and you hav ethe 470rx mining edition from asus?

I tried to clock the memories @ 2000Mhz I guess I got memory errors and the hashrate dropped on Etherium by 4MH from 24MH to 21MH. I had the voltages on 950. But i didnt raise the TDP/TDC. so I guess I need to try to raise them first. TDP@85W and TDC@74A

I need to raise the TDP/TDC a little. By the way MPL stands for?

None of the mining cards I saw were better than gaming ones...

Looks like that but I wonder if they got the energy consumption down... Mine is running 25MH @ 85W right now.

Im test running some Asus Mining 470-4G at the moment but Im stuck at 25MH@85W. Its the Hynix memories on the card and the MAx Power Limit is about 85W. But does anyone now to get 30MH ETH with 85W? I havent managed to get that out of the card with claymore miner. windows 10.
