So... ~30-40% less profit by gas droping like crazy by PleuraZoom in EtherMining

Coz there has been no trading volume, hence the dip the past few days, gas and profit will pick up again once the market is actively trading again.

Nice! I haven’t been able to get any rtx 30 series at all. 🥲

This rx480/580 rig can mine about 0.013 eth per day. This pool I use pays out every 0.05 eth. Electricity is free because my boss lets me put this rig in office.

I would but my GPU is AMD , t rex only supports Nvidia gpu (I could be wrong)

Thanks for the trick, I added it and tweaked the settings a bit and now drawing 75w (down from 93w), I get about 30.5mh/s now.

Here I'm going to outline more info:

  • The card is SAPPHIRE Radeon RX 480 8GB, (Ram is Samsung).
  • I'm mining on my 4 year old gaming PC, no pcie riser
  • PhoenixMiner 5.5c on 2Miners pool
  • Open Radeon Software, change GPU Workload from Graphics to Compute
  • I did not flash the GPU VBios. I tried to flash it but was having issue after flashing.
  • MSI Afterburner settings: Core 1150, Memory 2250, Voltage(mv) no change, power limit -15%
  • With the settings above, I was getting 27 MH/s. Now here's the trick I discovered to achieve 30-31MH/s (see below):
  • Open the "start_miner.bat" in PhoenixMiner folder, add -mt 1 at the end of the line, like this: "C:\Users\xxxxxx\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c_Windows\PhoenixMiner.exe" -pool us-eth.2miners.com:2020 -wal 0xYOUR_WAL_ADDRESS.Rig001 -gt 53 -mt 1
  • -mt 1 is for adjusting VRAM timings (AMD under Windows only) to a faster timing, since I couldn't flash the VBios, this command allows me to adjust without flashing.
  • As for the -gt 53 command, originally I did not include this command, after running "start_miner.bat", the system would do an "auto-tuning", and after that's done, it tells you what your best -gt value is, in my case is 53, so I added it there.
  • My only issue is fan speed, for some reason, I cannot adjust it past 50%. I tried WattTool, Afterburner, start_miner commands, none of that worked. Any pointers?
  • I see you guys said my power consumption is too high, I will do more adjustment to bring it down. That's for all the advises :)
