Hashrate on different algorithms, algorithm calculator – RX 570
It makes no sense to mine bitcoins and other currencies, the SHA-256 algorithm on the RX 570. No GPU comes close to the performance of an ASIC . In general, AMD video cards are so far the most profitable mining devices compared to Nvidia for the same money.
Specification – AMD Radeon RX 570
The RX 570 with factory settings will be able to mine coins at this speed:
| Algorithm | Hashrate | Consumption |
|---|---|---|
| Ethhash | 17 Mh / s | 120 watts |
| Ethash4GB | 29-30 MH / s | 120 watts |
| Zhash | 19 H/s | 100 watts |
| KawPow | 13 MH / s | 150 watts |
| CNHeavy | 640 H/s | 110 watts |
| Beamhash | 14 H/s | 120 watts |
| Aion | 85 H/s | 100 watts |
| NeoScrypt | 700 Kh / s | 140 watts |
| BCD | 7.3 Mh / s | 110 watts |
| TimeTravel10 | 8.0 Mh / s | 115 watts |
| X16R | 5 Mh / s | 100 watts |
| Lyra2Z | 0.42 Mh / s | 110 watts |
| Hex | 2.1 Mh / s | 85 watts |
| ProgPow | 6.7 Mh / s | 130 watts |
| X22i | 3.4 Mh / s | 110 watts |
These values show that mining Ethereum, Ravencoin. Haven. Ethereum Classic and other coins will provide good profits. To figure out what the cards are capable of, you can find out how they manifest themselves on various algorithms.
Mining Ethereum
The Ethereum dag file has already crossed the 4GB mark, so there can be no question of a speed of 30 megahash for a four-gigabyte. On Linux, after long dances with a tambourine, at best you will get 17 Mh / s, and an inexperienced miner will get no more than 11 Mh / s. It makes sense to get Ether on Windows on four gigabytes, only in the hope of a future colossal increase in value. On cards with 8 GB of video memory, it is now necessary to mine Ether, it brings tangible profit. From one card you will take “clean” about 150 rubles per day. The indicator was calculated at the time of publication, the exact profitability can be calculated on the Whattomine website .
Regarding the double mining popular in the past, it should be said that it has long been out of date. True, there is ETH + Zill, but this is still not dual mining in its purest form. You just take a little distraction from Ether in order to serve the zilik, since in this network miners are required only periodically.
Ethash4GB
This category includes both the modernized ETC algorithm and all other alts running on regular Ethash. Compared to big Ether, the profit is less. In addition to the classic in the current period on Ethash4GB, gpu miners have nothing to mine. The four-geek ASIKI Innosilicon works here.
Mining Rawencoin
After changing the algorithm, the ravens also changed their color. Previously, this coin was mined on green cards, now more on red ones. The coin is profitable, but very fry at cards. In winter, nothing else, but in summer, no additional cooling is possible.
Mining Zcash
This algorithm has long been under the control of ASICS miners . So mining Zcash doesn’t make sense. It is worth paying attention to lesser-known coins only if we are talking about dual mining, which the video card can handle without any problems.
Mining ZCash (ZEC) with RX 570 8GB (GB) is not as profitable as mining Ethereum. The hash rate for coin mining reaches 310 Sol / s, which allows you to earn no more than $ 7.5 per month. The reason for the decline in profits is the fall in the exchange rate by more than 6 times since the beginning of 2018. Mining ZEC with video cards is still more reliable compared to buying and storing cryptocurrency in anticipation of price increases.
Investments when using the Equihash algorithm pay off twice as long as when mining Ethereum. Experts do not recommend miners with RX 570 to mine ZCash, a currency that is more suitable for owners of NVIDIA video cards. The best option for making a profit for Radeon models is dual mining – the simultaneous production of two “coins”.
Mining Ethereum + Decret
The choice of mining two cryptocurrencies provides miners with a number of advantages:
- no loss of useful equipment power – with proper regulation, the GPUs of a mining farm (which usually consists of several video adapters) are loaded by almost 100%;
- no need to choose software – for dual mining they use the proven Claymore program that runs on Windows and Linux;
- independence from the fall in the exchange rate of one of the mined currencies, if the value of the second rises.
The method also has disadvantages: a full load leads to increased heating of the hardware of the farm and an increase in the speed of the coolers. As a result, a lot of noise appears, and the service life of video cards is reduced.
A profitable dual mining technique on the RX 570 and other AMD Radeon models is the simultaneous mining of two popular “coins” – Ethereum and Decret. The hash rate for the first (after overclocking the graphics adapter) is at the level of 30-31 MH / s, for the second – within 800 MH / s. The profit will be higher compared to other options (up to $ 18 monthly). On the other hand, electricity consumption will also increase, and for regions with a high cost of 1 kWh, mining two currencies at the same time may be less profitable compared to mining only Ethereum
