What to mine on AMD RX 480, the choice of the algorithm
Ethash is considered to be the main algorithm for which a video card is suitable. But during the growth period, the profitability of algorithms changes rapidly. Specialists constantly monitor relevant and profitable coins.
| Mining algorithm | Mining speed | Core Clock | Memory Clock | Power Limit | Anne. needs. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethash: (Etherum, Ethereum Classic Ubiq, Expanse, Pirl, Ellaism, Metaverse, Callisto) | 30.1 Mh / s | 1100 | 2150 | +40 | 135W |
| CryptoNightSaber: (BitTube) | 960 H/s | 1100 | 2100 | +40 | 110W |
| Cuckaroom29: (Grin-CR29) | 2.6 H/s | 1200 | 2100 | +40 | 110W |
| ProgPow: (Sero) | 7.9 Mh / s | 1100 | 2100 | +40 | 140W |
| Zhash: (Bitcoin Gold, Anon, BitcoinZ) | 21 h/s | 1100 | 2100 | +40 | 130W |
| CryptoNight GPU: (RYO) | 760 H/s | 1100 | 2100 | +40 | 150W |
| NeoScrypt: (Halcyon, Money, Live) | 820 kh / s | 1100 | 2100 | +40 | 120W |
| KawPow: (Ravencoin) | 9 Mh / s | 1100 | 2100 | +40 | 140W |
| CryptoNightHaven:(HavenProtocol, Bloc) | 960 H/s | 1100 | 2100 | +40 | 130W |
If you plan to mine ETH, then it is best to purchase the “older” model with 8 GB, it is better suited for mining than the “younger” version. The program “Claymore Dual Miner“, All settings can be left as standard. With these parameters, the frequency of the video processor will be 1100 MHz, and the video memory will be 2100 MHz, which will provide:
- speed of 30.1 Mh / s;
- Power consumption – 130 watts.
An online mining calculator will help you calculate the profit that can be obtained by mining a coin. Mining and hash rate of 30.1 allows you to mine 0.0028 ETH coins per day. Given the current exchange rate, this is $ 0.2 / day. The market is now experiencing severe problems and many will shut down their farms. But experts believe and hope that this is a temporary period.
When the video card first went on sale, there was no point in mining anything other than Ethereum. But after the appearance NiceHash the assortment has grown, and on the algorithm CryptoNight you could make good money.
At the moment, ETH has again become the leader, and it is most profitable to mine two coins at once (ETH + ZILL). therefore the best algorithm for RX 480 this is Ethash.
