 That is  a little low, according to minerstat. https://minerstat.com/hardware/amd-rx-580

 

Ethereum is dependent on memory speed for performance.

Thank you for the reply. My RAM is absolutely pathetic. 2400mhz 12gb (single channel)

If i was to upgrade to 16gb would I see a significant improvement?

Not system RAM, VRAM. Easiest would be to try a different miner to see if it's the card or the miner. After that, I have read that AMD cards can/need to be set in "compute mode" for more performance (I don't use AMD cards, so I can't say from experience).

It's video RAM that matters, not system RAM.

Thanks for the help. Set my graphics card to 'compute mode' and over clocked it. Getting 24-31mh/s now
