How to increase Hashrate: R9 390 and R9 390x Mining

Details Category: Mining on video cards Published on 05/24/2017 00:19 Author: Vyacheslav Admin I would like to start with the fact that the architecture of the video chip of the old AMD Radeon 300 series is still relevant for cryptocurrency mining. In this article, I decided to consider in detail the fact of mining on 390/390x at the time of the summer of 2020, but mining in 2020 on the 300 series is still profitable, I’ll run ahead. Many will already start whining, like: “390 – oven, eats a lot! You can not heat the apartment in winter. And in general, mining on it is unprofitable.

What does unprofitable mean? In relation to what, to Rx 480 with their power consumption? And what about those guys who have a “free socket”? And in general, it all depends on what kind of cryptocurrency to mine and what rate it has, relative to Bitcoin. You can mine with a fool and minus. Mining fool protection is not provided. Experience and circumstances turn an ordinary miner into a successful business investor. The essence of mining is not to connect your video card to the pool and earn “penny”, but to invest your money correctly and not wonder about the payback.

“What about the payback, then why invest?” – Before I had time to develop the topic, similar questions already begin to appear in your head. To be successful in mining, you will constantly have to spend part of the money you earn to increase power, and when buying another video card, you must understand that the video cards you already have have partially paid off, and each next purchased one will pay off after some period. Why am I all this, if there is an option to buy an AMD Radeon R9 390 on the cheap, then feel free to take it, because it will definitely return this money to you, even though it eats 275w, and you will earn good money on it.

How to increase mining income and properly distribute reinvestment

R9 270x mining

The cryptocurrency market has become one of the most attractive areas for investment in 2020. And mining – the extraction of coins with the help of computing power, has changed significantly due to the widespread use of ASIC boards. All this led to a huge increase in the complexity of mining, for some currencies – tens and hundreds of times. But manufacturers of gaming video cards also need the mining industry, so many of their developments are aimed specifically at mining digital coins. AMD has always been a leader in this area, and mining on r9 270x, despite all the changes in the industry, is still profitable and efficient.

Mining of radeon r9 270x

The 270x was released in 2013 as a budget gaming graphics card aimed at users with low budget but high performance needs. On r9 270, mining is mostly popular among the same users, now with a gaming focus in need of computing power to mine coins.

For many novice users, mining on r9 270 and similar old cards is completely uninteresting, since their power is not enough to efficiently mine the most expensive modern cryptocurrencies. Experienced market players understand that video cards like the rx 270x in mining can sometimes become much more valuable than the most modern development costing a thousand dollars. For example, on the sapphire radeon r9 270x version, Ethereum mining has one of the highest efficiency on the market due to the card’s energy-efficient characteristics:

• – Memory frequency: 5600 MHz
• – Core frequency: 1020 MHz
• – Power consumption: 20 W

Due to its characteristics of the radeon r9 270x, mining with it is 20-25% more efficient than with other video cards released around the same time period.

How much mines r9 270

The main and most important parameter when using such video cards is the correct choice of the coin to be mined. Most often, the user only needs r9 270 hashrate Ethereum, which is about 14 MH / s, but in order to make the most of r9 270 in mining, it is necessary to constantly analyze the cryptocurrency market and the dynamic change in mining difficulty. Experts recommend regularly studying the industry so that even old video cards can bring a small profit, and mining on the radeon r9 270x with the right settings can even be good.

How to increase Hashrate R9 390 8GB Mining: Setting up r9 390 for mining.

What is included in the configuration of this video card, of course, is overclocking and downvolting the core. If we take Msi AMD Radeon R9 390x as an example , then the stock core frequency is 1080 mHz, the usual 390 has 1050 mHz. You can slightly lower the voltage on the core through the Msi Afterburner program, and then we will achieve a drop in temperature and consumption in small quantities, but still better than nothing.

If you are mining two cryptocurrencies in dual mining mode with Claymore, then the temperature of your r9 390/r9 390x can skyrocket to 75 or even 80 degrees. Normal downvolting will not help here, you need to drop the core frequency. The 300 series does not lower the core frequency with a slider in the driver or in the afterburner, for this you need to lower the Power Limit in the driver with another slider. In my experience, this is the fastest and easiest way to downvolt and reduce the core frequency and temperature of the video card.

The algorithm is simple:

1. Start mining in stock.
2. If it’s hot, move the slider to the left “Power consumption limit” .

You will find a middle ground between temperature and video card hashrate. I used to have two video cards on the Antec 850w block: R9 390x and Rx 480 8gb (non-wired), and so this block did not pull out Ethereum mining at stock parameters, because both video cards are very powerful. I found a way out quickly, lowered the consumption of r9 390x by 18%, and its frequency did not exceed 1020 mHz. Yes, the mining speed dropped a little, but this is not critical, because in return I got stability in the operation of the farm and, moreover, a relatively low temperature of one of the video cards.

Reviews about Radeon R9 380

I have r7 360 from msi, 8 gigs of ddr4 and i5 6402r and in GTA at high-very high 40-60 frames depending on the location I think you can squeeze the same fps out of 380 at maximum There you need to delve into the card settings and experiment with the settings direct x graphics only 11, in 10 the fps drops twice, choose soft shadows from AMD, do not load the card with a variety of cities and everything will be ok

Resets frequencies, which means an increase in temperature and overheating. Try putting another cooler/afterburner in while playing to see the temperature. Above 75 – overheating and reset. During the game, turn off auto cooler speed control, set it to 90% and see the result. Then, after the game, turn on auto regulation again so as not to force the cooler.

The GTX 960 has better detail at stock settings. The same can be achieved through the R9 380 driver settings, but the FPS will drop significantly. Take 960, you won’t lose anyway. From experience, I can say that Nvidia has fewer glitches in firewood than AMD. I used to be an ardent fan of AMD (there was not enough money))). Now only intel and nvidia.

Well, super, the GTX770 copes with the same, and its memory frequency is higher, but the rest is the same. The only question is what is the use of this 300 series if they have not changed anything (the series is exhibited as a competitor to the 900 series GTX). Because the GTX900 series are already declared as cards for ultraHD, as far as I understand. So this is a strange thing.

R9 390 ether mining.

R9 390/390x video cards based on the Dagger Hashimoto algorithm in Ethereum mining give out 30.5 and 31.5 Mh/sec, respectively. Under overclocking to 1100 mHz and higher, about 32 Mh / sec is given out in the core. If we take a separate case, for example: you have 390x in your system unit, and you mine ETH + Dec in Dual Climore mode, and slightly lowering the frequency and power consumption, in order not to melt something, then such mining speed indicators will be quite acceptable, as in the screenshot.

• ETH – 30 Mh / s
• Decred – 900 Mh / s

Feature Comparison

How To Maximize: Zcash mining on R9 390 / R9 390x.

The Zcash cryptocurrency mining speed at 390x is 414 H/s with a core frequency of 1080 mHz .

When overclocked to 1150 mhz , we got a speed of 421 H / s , so it’s almost useless to boost the core frequency, you will get more power consumption, and an increase in temperature, and the life of the video card will decrease. The 10 H/s difference is not worth it.

Results.

Finally, I want to note that of the video cards from AMD, the most powerful in mining is R9 390x . Rx 480 8gb and Rx 580 8gb (8000 mhz) can almost catch up with it in terms of hashrate in Ethereum mining, and then only after flashing the BIOS, changing the RAM timings and overclocking it, but not in stock. I will write about Zcash mining on 400 and 500 series in the following articles. I can say about myself that I have a farm of two 390 and one 390x, alternately mine Eth + dec and Zcash, I have to carefully monitor the rate of cryptocurrencies. All three graphics cards feel great under the Thermaltake TR2 RX 1250 bronze block with a slight downvolting.
