It's largely influenced by what people are paying for hashing power. It goes up and down often. I've tried to find a correlation with Bitcoin prices or cryptocurrency prices in general but I'm not sure there is one.

I intend to experiment with mining directly to see if it would be more profitable at times when NiceHash's profitability is low, but I haven't gotten around to doing that yet. You can't beat NiceHash for simplicity though and mining directly to a pool would result in altcoin payments rather than payments in Bitcoin (which may or may not be desirable).

That's not bad. Slightly better than I'm getting from a 2x RX 480 rig, though I haven't done much tweaking on this one:
