mining on the 560's?

What are you guys getting out of your 560's? I have tons of risers and other stuff sitting here and I'm really considering just ordering a bunch of these cards vs half as many say 570's. Is this a reasonable strategy or will you talk me out of it?
 
I don't have any but I read that 13 m/hash is about normal. But these will also be affected by the DAG increase that will lower output on all RX400/RX500 based cards. This will take many months, but if you're trying to do this long term, RX cards will not keep you happy.

Look at the graphs comparing performance at high DAGs. You'll see that the RX series will only do about half of what it was performing at dag 130 vs DAG 199. If you want to stay in this for the long run... you either get used R9 series cards, or go with Nvidia. Nvidia will have the better performance vs watt ratio. But they are quite costly to purchase.

1050 TI's are about the same price as a 4 GB RX 560 and for me I'm averaging 28-29 on some mild OC single fan ITX's ones (I have a pair of them giving me those numbers combined)

Mine don't have PCIE power plugs and are getting those numbers with a mild OC. For the same price each one seems to get 1.x MH\s more, seems like the better buy to me

on my 1050 TI's yes I had up to 15.X each but I dropped it down just a hair because I was scraping the limit of power (about 97%), and dropping the core had a slight affect on hash as well but dropping the core down as low as it could go and scaling the memory back 20 mhz keeps me at a solid 14.x MH/s on each card, combined rates fluctuate in the 27, 28, 29 range
 
I'm already mostly in Nvidia. The price and availability of these cards are very tempting. I'm thinking I could have my money back before

What speeds? my only 1050 ti is only getting about 10

That card, two of them
-400 core, +560 mem, power limit 90, fan 62, same settings on both cards, using afterburner on Win 10 pro
Temps in the case are 55 and 59 (one kind of blows out to the other)

These are actually in a 4u case because that rig is my Plex server, and I don't notice any issue with mining and plex. Using that rc client that was designed to give the 1060 a boost. There was a thread about it a while ago, seems to help all 10 series cards that are not the 1080 (diff ram type)

Just keep in mind the difficulty bomb on ETH right now. It's gone up crazy since I got in and that was only a month or so ago lol. Based on current numbers and 14 MH per card with my electric at.065 a KWH it's going to take 5 months before it breaks the ROI, and that's not counting difficulty going up.

I've been adding a card or two every week or two and my daily keeps dropping below .05 ETH a day, and that's with 155 MH

It's not a bad move if you understand you'll likely not get your money back in under half a year, but then again if the prices keep going up what little you do mine (about 0.12 a month) could very easily be worth more by then, its up to you just know that going in
