nope Ellesmere, 8192. Are you sure you havent used a 4gig rom ?
Im using the ROMS provided by Heliox. it says that I have instaled a 8gb rom device after I install using the cmd line. However, claymore is reading only 4gb. Also, dual mining only producing 23mh and 350mh, but when I use single it gives me 31.
maybe you should play with your -dcri settings and try out different combinations in your .bat (config) file to get better performance while dual mining
its set at -35, which was my best setting before. 27.5 & 480 @ 103W GPU only. Also, can you mess with wattman settings once flashed?
if it's underperforming it's probably throttling..
Why would claymore only read the card as a 4gb? Team throttling shouldnt be the issue as I turn the fans up and get under 70. Eitherway 31mhs @ 98W is pretty awesome, just dont understand why it would not give me awesome results dual mining as well.

My 480's are displayed as 4gb in claymore 5.3 when using ubuntu 16.4, but claymore 6.1 reports them properly in windows 7.
hey all, so the rom from heliox says its 8GB but ends up as 4GB I've been tweaking it and took the setting and mod an xfx and sapphire 8GB ref rom with the same settings from heliox rom and turned down the power a little. I also clocked down the core saving more power and fixed the odd missing ones, which causes wattman to not allow settings changes, it hasn't reduced the hash of 31.5 it does still run hot so expect to put a fan on these like you would with a 390 I'm getting a steady 30.5-31.5 but it will down clock if it gets to hot and with out a fan it sits too high at 84c with a fan you can get it nicely to 75-80. but fans will be at max to 80% I'm dual mining SIA and getting 390MH
You can manually reduce the mem power to 980 for some reason it wont take if you set it in a rom. I still drag down the power to -10% and still doesn't slow down the 31.5 has so more savings to be made.
power 680w at wall for 3 cards no system. PSU evga 850 P2 @ 230v ETH 226w = 7.1w/Mh SIA 226w = 0.57/MH
any Idea if the Powercolor cards specifically have an issue with the mod, is the issue something as simple as having to change a sub-vendor. I kept getting this
Windows stopped this device because it has reported problems . (Code 43 )
you are the man heliox! Low power rom is working great on my 3 sapphires and 2 asus cards. getting 30.5 mh consistent. For those having problems what I did was uninstall radeon drivers BEFORE flashing and then install the latest 16.8.2 drivers after you flash cards. After that follow the steps previously posted. The patched driver file doesn't seem to work with 16.7.2

@boysie no probs, It's the 4gig reference 480's that are actually 8gig cards. I had 2 of them.. I've done them both now and they are working like champs got one of my 6 card rigs done today as well. very pleased with the performance so far!

The one on ubuntu only GPU1 and GPU2 that is flashed with Helios' bios, GPU0 and GPU3 havent been modded yet. I will test -tt 75, and no Claymore 6.1 or 6.0 for ubuntu yet.
thanks for sharing i am a bit confused about this, i saved a copy of my bios card and tried to compare that with optimized rom
at the top is optimized rom and at the bottom is my asus 8 gb rom there are some differences here as you can see 1.vendor ID 2.DevicevID 3.SubID 4.SubvendorID and for memory 5.Size and 6.Density
so do i need to correct optimized rom with these values, or it can be flashed directly?
and this signature checking problem, is it for win 10 only ( i am on win 7)?
if it's underperforming it's probably throttling..
well, it is. But if it throttles there is a outcome of 21,x MH/s. I didn't noticed overnight, but monitoring show that is had constant temperature of 84°C, so I guess this is when the RX480 ref starts throttling? Thats quite low I set the fan to 100% now and the hashrate did go back to 26,x MH/s at 76°C.
Does somebody has an idea how to monitore frequency under 16.04 and amdgpu-pro driver?
@boysie nice job with the BIOS. My cards are running great. Slight problem though I can change memory voltage in wattman but any attempt to change power limit settings always reset to zero. Got any suggestions?

I would just change the vendor stuff and leave the stuff on the right alone.
or do what I did and edit your own BIOS and put in all the changes Heliox and I did (mostly heliox) that way you have your bios with the required changes and it will def work..

Welp, I figured out my problem, me==Idiot, didn't know i needed to turn off integrity checks on EVERY boot, that fixed it thanks all sorry for being an idiot lol

Make sure you tick custom fan speed and custom temperature. You can change power setting then.

trying to decide between Rx470 vs Rx480 8b cards...
so many conflicting views in the forum.
its my first rig, im in the process of putting the order together ..
i have free cooling at home, power cost 7cent/KW.
budget for rig 3-3.5k max.
would really appreciate some help, was thinking MSI rx 470 8b or 480 version due to people mentioning they stay very cool.
im a total noob just learning here now, hard to decide when it costs almost for 2k $ just for cards.
I had a feeling the 4gb was odd. Good stuff man! bravo..
@boysie I know this has been asked, but just to confirm, is it fine to flash the sapphire bios of yours into power color or other brand?
And well so far here is my result from the last Heliox's high power.
I did mine with fresh copies from both just because I could and it seemed a nicer way for me.
the pic above looks like they are just getting to hot and throttling back add -tt 75 to the config of claymores 6.1 or 6.0 to get temp control.

You're welcome for the bios.
Got no issues putting power limit at -20 or at +20..
Perhaps something interferring?
You can change power setting then.
