Hi Im new in mining eth, I used to mine BTC with an ASIC miner until it blew... so, I got an XFX rx480 GTR 8GB
undervolted to 1.05
GPU core at 1288MHZ
GPU Memory 2000Mhz
GPU Temp at 57 C
fan Speed minimum 1800rpm
Power Draw at 78.4Wats
Memory usage 1932MB
Im using nicehash minng daggerhashimoto aka eth
So is this a good way? the miners like claymore wood give me better performance... I would mine directly to my coinbase address, I know nicehash will convert to BTC to my coinbase account too..
I got Windows 10.
Can I get some recommendations from you guys?,
I dont want to cook my GPU....
are there any advantage in the money part, because it looks like the profit is going to be the same with nice hash converting to btc, because with the MH speed says its going to be like 1.6$ a day
Thanks

Now I use claymore and dual mine (eth + sia on two rigs and eth + lbc on another). I would definitely experiment with both and see what works best for you.
At the moment I have 28 mh\s
All I've done is to copy the program PolarisBiosEditor values of line 1750 in 2000, and has kept flashed via Atiflash
I would be extremely grateful if @boysie helped firmware. Perhaps tell what values you can edit or copy of your firmware?
This site https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?did=1002-67DF-1682-9480 says that "RX 480 8192 MB GTR Triple X" is compatible with "RX 480 4096 MB Reference"
Original = RX 480 8192 MB GTR Triple X
GTR Triple X vs. Boysie's RX480 (REF) BIOS 29MH LOW PWR:
GTR Triple X vs XFX RX 480 4Gb Ref
GTR Triple X vs XFX RX 480 8Gb Ref
the bottom 3 to the right are the primary focus,
the timings I think you all know about
the core list has 3 sections, the base clock (top rom) you don't need to change
the rest of the rows form your dpm 1-7
65282 - 65288 = auto calc mv
you can replace there with other values to give them a static mv you want in your rom
the cores you can obviously replace also, step them up gradually and you will give the controller the room to adjust it self, I've seen all sort here but I liekl to stick with a nice stepping up approach, you can do as you need.
memory
this is just what the min will be, it will also be what is set to. default. power is ignored at least for now, no idea why
powerplay
ignor unless you want to raise the max mem speed
powertune
the ref rom was a little tight on power , no idea about these cards
hot spot to 100
shutdown to 90
max temp 85
the others you can change to give the card more options I think its limits not actual output, I'm not clear what does what tbh
why so low? to save power...that was the idea of this rom.

Thanks
4gb copy timing - 1500 to 1625, 1750 and 2000
wattman setting:
from there you can adjust your other values, to see what suits your cards, it will differ slightly where you can min-max too.
The new non ref cards can easily get 30+MH/s while mining Sia still for about 130 watts at the wall.
A word of warning though: I set up a test rig with 4 of these cards, flashed them with a bios where the only change was to have the 1750 timings in the 2000s and afterwards did some manual tweaks using Watttool.
The problem is that you have to literally fine tune every single card, since what works well with one doesn't work with another... It's quite a pain in the butt if you have to do this on more than one rig
Or at least I didn't manage to find this sweet spot yet.
Also, don't rely on MH/s reported in your miner, as this might not be accurate. I modded a card once to 31.3MH/s as reported by the miner, but in reality the speed was more like 10MH/s. If you are mining in a pool, the calculated hashrate there will give you a more accurate approximation.
P.s.: one more warning - I managed to get some pretty good results with this cards (29.5-30MH) but always stress test it for 24 hours to be sure. I crashed after 4-5 hours.
And also check for memory errors. Having those a lot is usually a good indicator that your card will crash sooner or later.
