Last night got the software installed and started mining XMR using SGMiner. base settings produced an average rate of approximately 268H/s. Still trying to optimize settings but am now averaging about 301H/s. At current market prices etc this translates to $35-40/month for this GPU. Later I will try to post a guide of how I got it to work. On paper anyway it is easier to be profitable with the RX series because they use less power than other cards.

To date I have not gotten an RX 460 to work with the AMD GPU Pro 17.5 update. I think there are some steps AMD left out of the installation instructions. To get my 2 latest pair of RX 460’s up and running I went back to 17.3 which works well. They are currently mining XMR at an average hash rate of approximately 305H/s per GPU.
Yes there were indeed a couple of things left out of the 17.5 instructions. The RX 460 and RX 560 both work just fine with the 17.5 AMD GPU-Pro drivers.
The higher hash rate came from adjusting the raw intensity.
