💡Tryout HIVEOS Entirely Free:

hey everyone and welcome back to another 
mining chamber video in today's video i'm   going to be reviewing the rx 6700 xt i'm going to 
be covering the availability pricing of this gpu   as well as what coins to mine with it and the 
overclock settings that you need to use for it   and then at the end of the video i will also 
give you guys my conclusion on it and i also   have a little surprise for you so now let's 
go ahead and get into it right after the intro the 6700 xt that i was able to get my hands on for 
this video is the mac 2x oc edition now this gpu   comes with 12 gigabyte of gddr6 and the looks of 
it are really clean it has two fans and it takes   in two eight pins for power now even though 
this gpu consumes very little amount of power   especially when you're mining but it will 
still take two eight pins so now before we   go ahead and test the overclocks i'm going to 
put this gpu in my test bench and then we can   talk about the pricing of this card and how much 
i paid for it right after a word from our sponsor   this video is sponsored by crypto.com crypto.com 
is an all-around platform for trading staking and   storing your cryptocurrency they also have visa 
cards which you can get by buying cro tokens and   holding it for some time these cards are accepted 
anywhere that accepts visa and they also come with   benefits based on which tier you get but one 
of the best ways that i found as a miner to   use crypto.com is by utilizing their staking 
platform you can use their staking platform   to put your mining profits in there and then earn 
additional rewards on your mining profits and it's   super easy to get started with it simply mine to 
your crypto.com wallet and then from there you can   stake as much as you want and earn interest they 
have difference taking options and you can stick   with a flexible plan which means you can get your 
money out anytime or you can do it contract based   which earns you more percentage so if you want 
to learn more and you want to see which options   they have for staking please feel free to use the 
link in the descriptions below and download their   app and then from there explore the options that 
you have now let's go ahead and get right back   into the video so first thing i want to go over 
is the availability and the pricing of this gpu   so the rx 6700 xt was supposed to come out for 
an msrp of 479 now as we know all the retailers   has pushed up the prices and then you have all 
this calpers as well pushing it for really high   so finding the msrp price is nearly impossible now 
if you go on amazon you will be able to find these   cards for around a thousand and two hundred 
dollars to a thousand and one hundred dollars   now that is usd so it is a bit expensive but on 
newegg.com you will find different combos and they   do frequent drops in here as well which is for a 
decent price but most of the time they're sold out   super quickly and it's hard to catch up with any 
of them now as for where i got mine from i got it   from facebook marketplace for a big markup as well 
but it's not a problem since my goal is to make on   it a video now since these cards are super hard to 
get i'm planning to sell my card for msrp to you   guys so if you're interested in buying this card 
for around 450 rather than 480 then stick out to   the end of the video and then i'll let you know 
how to enter to be selected so now that covers   it for the availability now let's go ahead and 
talk about profitability and what coin you need   to mine with this gpu now for the profitability 
as usual if you guys want the updated profits   just check out the link in the descriptions below 
for the mining chamber article now the numbers   that i will be giving you in this video are based 
on may 7 2021 and they might change drastically   whether it's after ethereum 2.0 or after the aip 
1559 but i will make sure to keep the article on   miningchamber.com updated with the most profitable 
coin so always come back here if you're in doubt   and then you'll get the most recent updates now 
for the profitability of the 6700 xt with the   overclocks that i will be giving you later on you 
will be getting around 47 mega hash and with 47   mega hash you'll be making around 5.28 cents a day 
which is not bad at all so 5.28 cents a day times   30 that's 150 a month and then after electricity 
will probably be around 130 to 120 now that does   depend on your electricity cost but this card 
in general does not take that much power so now   also if you go to whattomind.com we can go ahead 
and put one 6700 xt here so in whattomine.com   you guys will be able to see here multiple 
different options that you can mine with this gpu   so currently ethereum is the most profitable 
coin to mine with it but you also have z coin   which is now known as firo and then you also have 
ethereum classic and ravencoin right behind them   so profitability wise even after ethereum goes 
away you still have a fairly profitable amount   of coins that you can mine with this gpu now of 
course all this depends on the current prices   now if the prices of these coins drop then your 
profitability will drop and then if it goes up   then your profitability will go up even though i 
say that we should avoid amd cards for now because   they are not doing that well in other algorithms 
it doesn't seem so bad as of what we're seeing   now with the prices so profitability-wise 
this gpu and almost every other gpu out there   it's not bad at all especially with how the market 
is going up in prices so in this video we're going   to be mining ethereum on this gpu since it 
is the most profitable coin to mine right now   so which means is let's go ahead and get right 
into testing so for testing the gpu i'm going to   first run it in stock settings so you guys can 
see how much power it draws and how much hash   rate it gives us and then after that we're going 
to go ahead and overclock it properly for mining   and make sure that it uses less power so it can 
run efficiently but now just one thing before   i run the miner that you guys can keep in mind is 
that i have an hdmi plugged directly into the gpu   and from testing that seems to drop my hash rate 
by 2 to 3 mega hash so just keep that in mind if   you have an hdmi plugged into the gpu itself or 
you have a couple of monitors coming out of it   then it's probably going to give you less hash 
rate since it has to render the screen as well   so now i'm going to go ahead and run team red 
miner for testing it you guys can run phoenix   miner or any miner you want generally i like team 
red miner for amd cards so in team red miner with   stock settings we're getting around 41 mega 
hash and we're pulling around 220 to 233 watts   and the entire system without the gpu takes 
around 30 watts so just the gpu is around 190 to   200 watts which is a really high amount of power 
for just 41 megahertz so definitely make sure you   overclock it don't skip on overclocking this gpu 
if you're planning to mine with it efficiently so   now for overclocking the gpu for mining first you 
want to go ahead and go to your gpu tuning section   and you want to put your max frequency at 1050. 
now what that will do is it will make sure that it   runs at a max frequency of 1050 and it will only 
use enough power to keep it stable at that level   so you don't have to touch your voltage at all you 
can just keep this the way it is now you can also   push your voltage a little bit lower using the 
more power tool which can save you up to 10 to 20   watts and i'll show you how to do that right after 
so after doing your cork lock you want to go down   to your vrm tuning and you want to put your max 
frequency at 2150 and then you also want to make   sure you select your memory timing and then select 
fast timing so after you have the fast timing   selected now you can go ahead and go to your fan 
tuning now the fan tuning is based on your ambient   temperature if the gpu is getting hot then you 
can put the fans a bit higher but just one thing   i would recommend turning off is the zero rpm 
so it stops turning off the fan when it reaches   a certain threshold you can keep it on if you want 
and the gpu is not getting hot at all but i highly   suggest turning it off and just putting a good 
fan curve and then you're all set so now after   you change all your settings you want to go ahead 
and do apply changes and then you can also feel   free to save these settings to your computer so 
you just click on here and then save the settings   as a profile so whenever you want to game with the 
card or use it for anything other than mining you   can just reset it back to stock settings and then 
whenever you want to mine you can just load the   profiles again so now after tuning you guys can 
see here the gpu is getting around 44 mega hash   and like i mentioned if i turn off the monitor 
it will be getting around 47 mega hash which   is exactly what we want and then for power draw 
we're drawing around 170 watts off of the wall   so it's 30 for the system and then 140 for the gpu 
which leaves the gpu at 47 megahertz for 140 watts   now you can reduce your power draw a little bit 
more by modifying the bios slightly and if you   want to drop 10 to 20 watts on the gpu then you 
can go ahead and download tech power up gpu-z   and then after that you want to save the bios of 
your 6700 xt on your pc so just click on this icon   right here and then you will get the option to 
save it to a file so just go ahead and save your   bias wherever you'd like for here in this example 
we're going to use desktop and then after saving   your bios you want to go ahead and open up more 
power tool and i will leave the link for that one   in the descriptions below as well once you open 
up more power tool you want to go ahead and select   your gpu from the top bar and then go ahead and 
load that bios that you just saved so now once you   loaded that bias that you saved you'll see here 
all these things auto filled you don't want to   touch anything i mean you can't turn off zero rpm 
here as well but you can just touch all these from   the radiant settings instead now the only thing 
you want to focus on here is the power and voltage   and then you want to go ahead and reduce your 
minimum voltage so instead of doing 912 put it   on 700 and then you want to go ahead and hit right 
sppt so now after you get that successful message   you want to go ahead and reboot your computer and 
what that will help you do is be able to push your   voltage lower and maintaining the same hash rate 
so after you restart your computer and run the   miner you'll notice that you're using 10 to 20 
less power than you were using before so this is   just a quick thing that you can do to reduce your 
power draw now you do have to do this per gpu if   you have more than one gpu of the 6700 xt but just 
make sure that you always save the original bios   so now that is it for testing on windows 10 let's 
go ahead and move on to testing on hive os and   see how it goes on there just kidding it's not yet 
supported on hive os but it might be supported on   other mining operating systems but since i usually 
do my tests in hive os i'm just going to go ahead   and skip that part of the video but whenever it 
comes on hive os you guys can feel free to visit   mining chamber again and then you will find the 
overclocks there for hive os as well so when you   see two different digits that means the first one 
will be for windows the second one will be for a   linux based mining operating system so if you use 
hive os and you have this gpu then feel free to   use it on windows for now until it's supported on 
hive os which means now we're at the conclusion   of the video so my thoughts on the rx 6700 xt that 
it's a decent card it's not one of the best cards   for mining that's for sure it's just a good option 
if you are able to get it for a decent price   now paying a thousand dollars and above for this 
card definitely not worth it for the hash rate i   would try to aim for a 360 ti or a 30 70 that will 
put you in a much better position comparing to the   6700 xt and now for what i mentioned earlier 
about me selling this card for msrp if any one   of you guys are interested in getting it for msrp 
price then please feel free to comment below in   the video your country and any feedback that you 
can give on the video and do make sure to join   the discord server because if you do win then i 
will be chatting with you from the discord server   and please be careful of scammy comments i will 
never tell you to message me on whatsapp so please   keep an eye out for that now for the comments that 
will come through i will put them through a random   comment picker and whoever gets selected i'll give 
them two to three days until they get back to me   and if they do get back to me then you can go 
ahead and choose whatever way you want to pay   and then i will be shipping the car to you so 
now that wraps up the video thank you guys for   watching and make sure to subscribe since this 
month i'm planning on releasing a bunch of videos   and one of the most exciting ones will be a 
look in the future when ethereum 2.0 will happen   so i will try to give you a good perspective 
on what potentially can happen to gpu mining   and whether it will be viable for a long time 
or not and lastly if you enjoyed the video make   sure to hit that thumbs up thank you guys for 
watching and i hope you have a wonderful day you
