Radeon RX 480 8GB — Hardware Overview
Learn more about this GPU, including its specifications, performance, and mining capabilities.
The Radeon RX 480 8GB presents itself as a disciplined workhorse for mining, its strengths not sentimental but structural: born in 2016 from AMD’s Polaris 10 architecture, it carries 2,304 stream processors driven at a base clock of 1,120 MHz with boosts toward 1,266 MHz, summing to roughly 5.8 TFLOPS of raw compute; paired with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked effectively at 8,000 MHz across a 256-bit bus for 224 GB/s of bandwidth, this configuration places the card in a sweet spot for a range of memory- and compute-bound algorithms and keeps it relevant where VRAM size matters. Practically, that means the RX 480 can be steered toward different mining targets with predictable returns: measurements show roughly 19.5 MH/s on the IronFish algorithm at about 120 W draw, and around 13 MH/s for Ravencoin while consuming near 135 W, numbers that underscore its versatility across varied hashing schemes rather than single-minded specialization. Its 150 W thermal design power and single 6-pin power input frame the engineering limits miners must respect, while support for modern APIs-DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5 and Vulkan-ensures driver maturity and cross-platform compatibility for both Windows and Linux deployments. Efficiency, however, is the decisive currency here: the RX 480 rewards methodical tuning-conservative power limits, measured undervolting, and targeted memory tuning usually yield the best hashrate-per-watt improvements without courting hardware instability; thermals and fan curves matter as much as raw clocks, since sustained loads expose weak cooling or poor case ventilation and shorten usable life. Beyond immediate numbers, the card’s age implies trade-offs: firmware and driver updates can revive efficiency but resale and long-term support are finite, so operators should weigh acquisition cost against expected throughput and electrical overhead; in multi-GPU rigs attention to riser quality, PCIe lane distribution and stable power supply design will often differentiate practical uptime from theoretical performance. In sum, the RX 480 8GB is less a flashy champion than a rigorous instrument-its architecture, memory capacity and measured power envelope make it an economical, adaptable choice for miners who prefer strategies of refinement and control to gambling on peak clocks, and who value predictable, tunable output across a spectrum of mining algorithms.

Radeon RX 480 8GB Mining Profit Calculator — How to Use It
One GPU can mine many different coins. Here is how to read the table above and find which ones are actually worth mining right now.
Check the top summary card
The card above already shows your Radeon RX 480 8GB single most profitable coin and algorithm right now, along with daily income, electricity cost, and net profit at your current rate.
Scan the Mineable Coins table
Every row is one algorithm this GPU can mine: its hashrate, power draw, the coin's price, block reward, and network difficulty, plus the income, electricity expense, and daily profit for that specific coin.
Look for profit above $0
Out of every coin this GPU can technically mine, usually only a handful are actually profitable at your electricity rate at any given moment. Sort by Daily Profit to see those first.
Switch coins as prices move
Because this data updates continuously, the most profitable coin can change day to day. Check back or bookmark this page to keep mining whichever coin currently pays best on this hardware.
A single Radeon RX 480 8GB is general-purpose hardware, so unlike an ASIC miner built for one algorithm, it can technically mine dozens of different coins across multiple algorithms. That does not mean all of them are worth mining: at any given electricity rate, most of those coins will show a negative or near-zero daily profit once power costs are subtracted, while only a small number stay clearly profitable. This Radeon RX 480 8GB mining profitability calculator recalculates every row in the table above using live coin prices, current network difficulty, and block rewards, so the handful of coins showing genuine daily profit above $0 are the ones actually worth pointing your hashrate at right now, not a static list from months ago.
