AMD Radeon RX 560: Review 2021 | Specs | Profit | Setup | Hashrate (Ethereum)

‘Hashrate’ on different algorithms

Most miners recommend mining currencies on the RX 560 using the Ethash algorithm. But on the 560 version, 2 GB of ether is pointless to extract, since the DAG file exceeds 3 GB.

You can achieve the following indicators when mining different coins:

• Ethereum Classic – 14/15 Mh/s;
• Ravencoin(RVN) – 6 Mh/s;
• HavenProtocol(XHV) – 450 H/s.

The choice of the pool and coin remains only with the miner. But before the final choice, it is better to contact the people on the forum (bits.media, bitcointalk or miningclub), here they can prompt and give practical advice.

Main mining pools:

• NanoPool;
• F2pool;
• Hashvault.

‘Overclocking and optimization – RX 560’

The best thing is to download and install a universal program for overclocking video cards of any model MSI Afterburner. With its help, you can set the required parameters of the memory and core frequencies, as well as the PowerLimit value and the fan speed.

Overclocking the RX 560 for mining from manufacturer Sapphire will not be difficult, even for a user unfamiliar with mining. Sapphire TRIXX software will safely and easily increase the performance of your graphics card. Perhaps not all cards have programs for such a setting, but there is always universal software.

Sapphire TRIXX software cannot harm your graphics card. In the worst case, using this program the card can go into reboot mode. It will simply reset all settings to factory defaults. But when the BIOS is flashed, it is no longer so safe. If you configure the card incorrectly, it can turn into a brick, although many miners say that in this case it is possible to bring the RX 560 back to life. But it’s worth trying and taking the risk for the sake of productivity. To see for ourselves which program can help in overclocking, let’s start with standard programs.

The Sapphire TRIXX program can be found on the website Sapphiretech… The program is updated frequently and is constantly being improved. To understand what to do for a start, it was decided to determine at what frequency the processor and memory work, and how the hash value changes from this when mining coins.

After changing the values ​​to 1330 MHz for the processor and 2000 MHz for the memory, the RX 560 received an increase of 5-6% production speed. And on these settings, it does not go into reboot.

In addition, to ensure the operation of the video card, it was decided to increase the speed of the fans.

After these settings, the card works stably and does not overheat.
