I've been mining using Nicehash on Windows for about 18 months (2 rigs, 12 Nvidia cards total). I just can't take the downtime anymore. It seems like every day or two, one of the rigs is down when I go to check them.

I want to switch to Linux, but the algo-switching that Nicehash provides, and the fact that it automatically pays out in BTC every day, is something I really don't want to give up. Between my job and other responsibilities, I don't have time to continually switch between coins and such. I just want to mine the most profitable coin, convert it to BTC, and hold the BTC.

Is there a way to do anything close to this on Linux? I have no problem with Linux itself, as I've used it for a number of other projects and am pretty comfortable with it.

Thanks in advance for your advice. This community has always been amazing, and I never would have gotten my rigs set up in the first place without you guys.

RX 5700 (NON XT) Mining Performance (7/28/2019)

Posted: 28 Jul 2019 06:24 PM PDT

**Disclaimer**

[Still testing, and Tuning but the new AMD RDNA Architecture is new and not only is AMD still optimizing drivers, the mining Developers who DO NOT get GPU's sent to them, are still working on optimizations. Please be patient with me as I continue to test and allow sufficient time for new miners to be developed.]

Same stuff different day just as with the RX 590 Fatboy and RTX 2080, I will be testing the RX 5700 over time as new miners come out, to compare price to performance for mining. Below are some of my results when testing the new AMD RX 5700 (Non XT) graphics card mining performance, now I was only able to get a few working. I did some videos on its Gaming performance and the "SoftPowerPlayTables" mod from Igor's Lab at Tom's Hardware, which allowed the RX 5700 to really stretch its legs. Allowing this Non-XT model to surpass the RTX 2060 Super and even get on par with the first Gen RTX 2070. Moving forward, as new miners are release I will update my numbers and test when I can.
