Mining with RX 6700 XT. Hashrate/ overclocking/ settings/ Power consumption/ profitability/ Ethereum - With the imminent launch of the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, many of us wonder if we will be able to install this graphics card in our computers or will it happen like the rest of recent NVIDIA and AMD releases, which have been almost unseen due to the fact that they will return it to bring the miners and speculators. Well, it seems that the RX 6700 XT will not be of much interest to miners. We explain the reasons. One of the biggest current concerns for any potential buyer of a graphics card is being able to find the model they are looking for in stores and that it is at a reasonable price. The reason for this is known to all and has to do with cryptocurrency mining. However, a GPU that is good for gaming does not have to be good at mining cryptocurrencies. Which is the case with AMD's RX 6700 XT. Will it be saved from the clutches of the miners? Let's see the reason and the causes of it. The AMD RX 6700 XT worse on Ethereum than the RX 5700 XT The AMD RX 6700 XT worse on Ethereum than the RX 5700 XT Through a blog dedicated to cryptocurrency mining on VideoCardz we have been able to learn that the RX 6700 XT has worse performance than the RX 5700 XT when it comes to mining the Ethereum cryptocurrency. Which is surprising since we should expect a much higher performance from the transition from RDNA to RDNA 2. According to said blog, the RX 6700 XT has a hash rate of 43.5 MH/s , which is much lower than the 54.75 MH/s of the RX 5700 XT. Which is surprising considering not only the improved architecture but also the higher clock speed of the new AMD graphics card. This, which in principle is bad news for miners, translates into good news for those who want to update their PC with a new graphics card, either to play video games or for more professional tasks such as modeling and rendering of scenes both professionally as well as amateur. Common Questions: RX 6700 XT Mining Settings Bandwidth, an important factor when mining Ethereum Bandwidth, an important factor when mining Ethereum The reason why the AMD RX 5700 XT is superior to the RX 6700 XT in mining is because of the VRAM bandwidth. We cannot forget that while the AMD RX 5700 XT uses a 256-bit GDDR6 bus, in the case of the RX 6700 XT its bus is 25% narrower with only 192 bits under the same type of memory. That is why at the level of mining Ethereum , the most powerful graphics card by AMD is not precisely an RDNA, but the almost unprecedented Radeon VII that with its bus of more than 1 TB/s of bandwidth via HBM2 memory exceeds far in VRAM bandwidth to even the RX 6900 XT. So the advantage is not architecture but memory bandwidth. Although this begs the question: what about the Infinity Cache? Theoretically it gives RDNA 2 based GPUs an advantage in bandwidth and especially in consumption, which in theory should be beneficial for mining. capabilities of the RX 6700 XT in cryptocurrency mining The Infinity Cache is completely useless to miners, being a Victim Cache it does not participate in the VRAM data capture process , where the process is the same in both CPU and GPU. The work of the Infinity Cache is to adopt the cache lines and therefore the data discarded from the second level cache of the GPU itself, so that when looking for them the GPU does not have to access the GDDR6, which which allows access using less power and thereby raising the clock speed margin. So not only does the RX 6700 XT not provide any advantage when it comes to mining Ethereum, but the same can also be said for the rest of the AMD RX 6000 range. Consider the capabilities of the RX 6700 XT in cryptocurrency mining using different algorithms, the optimal overclocking performance and video card settings for different algorithms, profitability and consumption.

Overclocking RTX 6700 XT on Windows Overclocking RTX 6700 XT on Windows To overclock video cards in Windows, use MSI Afterburner. This is a free graphics card overclocking utility from MSI. Download MSI Afterburner from the official website and install. Run the program and make sure that the correct video card is selected (in case you have more than one card). If you have several identical cards, you can combine the settings for all video cards at once. Enter the "Settings" menu (gear icon) - "General" - check the box next to the "Synchronize settings of the same GPU" option. Let's start overclocking. If for some reason the sliders for changing frequencies and voltage are not available, go back to the "Settings" menu (gear icon) - "General" - check the box next to the "Allow video adapter control and monitoring" option. We change the core frequency (Core Clock) - change the slider of the same name Core Clock (Mhz).We change the memory frequency (Memory Clock) - change the slider of the same name Core Clock (Mhz).We change the food limit (Power Limit) - change the slider of the same name Power Limit (%). All the values to be guided by in the table above. Overclocking RX 6700 XT in NiceHash If you mine with Nicehash, overclock your video card with Msi Afterburner, as described above. Overclocking RX 6700 XT in Hive OS We register in Hive OS. Using our link and the "InsidePC" promo code, you get $ 10 on your balance. For a guide to setting up and running mining on Hive OS, study it on the website. STEP 1 - Choosing a farm. In the Farms tab, select the desired farm. STEP 2 - Choosing a worker. We go to the required worker (workers), which contains 6700 XT. STEP 3 - Overclocking window. Each map in the barn (worker) has a speedometer icon, as well as a common speedometer icon for all maps in the barn (worker). You can overclock or tune a specific map, or all maps at once, by selecting the speedometer marked ALL. Here you can set the overclocking settings for all Nvidia or AMD cards. STEP 4 - Overclocking and tuning... We register the overclocking values. ATTENTION !!! In Hive OS and further in Rave OS, the process of overclocking the memory clock (Memory Clock) is different from overclocking in Windows. You add frequency multiplied by 2. That is, if you need to add + 150Mhz from memory, we add 300Mhz. Thus, we will increase the memory frequency by + 150Mhz. Next, you need in the field “+Core Clock Mhz»Set the overclocking value for the core. Here the absolute value, if you need to add + 100Mhz, add + 100Mhz.In field "Memory Clock, Mhz»Set the overclocking values from memory (remember, the frequency is multiplied by 2).Power Limit - the power limit is indicated in watts, not as a percentage as in MSI Afterburner. How do you know your consumption? Look in the table above the consumption in watts opposite the hash rate and set such a limit, and then test, if necessary, add or decrease. If the hashrate values are far from the tabulated one, make sure that you set the voltage limit correctly, the card may not have enough voltage and it will underestimate the frequencies and hashrate. Step 5 - Save Changes... Click “Apply” to save. Overclocking RX 6700 XT in Rave OS First of all, register with Rave OS. We will be grateful if you register using our link, it will greatly help the development of the site. If there are difficulties with this system, mining in Rave OS is described on the site. Step 1 - choosing a worker... Go to the Workers tab. Workers tab in RaveOS Step 2 - setting up the worker... We go to the settings of the worker (Edit worker). Step 3 - overclocking and tuning... Go to the Tunning masonry. And we set the values for overclocking: In the Core Clock offset, Mhz field, set the value of the core frequency.In the Memory Clock offset, Mhz field, set the value of the video memory frequency, this works the same as in Hive OS, multiply the frequency by 2. That is. if you need + 150Mhz, set 300Mhz.Power limit, W - power limit in watts. The power limit is indicated in watts, not as a percentage as in MSI Afterburner. How do you know your consumption? Look in the table above the consumption in watts opposite the hash rate and set such a limit, and then test it if you need to add or decrease it. Step 4 - Save Changes... Click the "Save & Apply" button. Important overclocking information! We take the values for overclocking and adjusting the card from the table above. These are optimal values for a good hash rate and a relatively energy efficient mode. Nobody restricts you from independently studying the limit of your card. You can increase the frequencies to increase the hashrate, or decrease the power limit to reduce consumption. HOWEVER REMEMBER, YOU DO ALL THESE PROCEDURES AT YOUR OWN RISK !!! How do you know if the card is overclocked or lacks voltage? If you have unsuccessfully overclocked your graphics card, you may see one of the following signals: Artifacts on the screen in the form of stripes, squares, and other geometric shapes.Screen flickering.Invalid balls.Dump the card. Most often, you shouldn't worry about this, this is the normal behavior of the video card when trying to find the maximum overclocking capabilities of the card.
