Title: Trying a Vega 56 - questions, issues
Post by: tf2addict on November 01, 2017, 11:59:11 PM
So I just got a Gigabyte Vega 56 to try out.   There doesn't seem to be a lot of threads out there yet about Vega mining so hopefully this thread can contribute some useful information.

Here's some data:

Stock settings out of the box I get 32.7 Mh/s on ETH.   The hash rate drops after four minutes fairly quickly to 30 Mh/s due to temperature increase to 75C.  One would think the auto fan control would be a better job.  Manually setting the fan to even 40% knocks the temp down by 20C.

Increasing the memory clock to 950 from the stock 800 gets the hash rate to 38.9.

If you're running Vegas how many are you running per rig?  Are you running with mixed RXs and/or Nvidias?

Wow  :o big hashrate

You need some tweak (like the ones on the RX 4x0/5x0 cards).

Monero right now is awesome on those cards.

I'd really like to hear about the hashrates you can do on Zcash with this baby.  I'm still looking at 1080ti's for good ROI, but I'd like to hear numbers for the Vega

Monero is what I am aiming for but I need to increase RAM to 8GB first.  It will be awesome if I can truly squeeze almost $3/day out of the Vega 56 (before electric).

I normal do Zencash on the Nvidias and I wouldn't expect a very good hash rate on the Vega but I'll try it at some point.

In the last few pages from the above link you will find out you need only 4GB for 8x vega at least. Just disable and enable ur cards in device manager.

I just saw that post, that is great news.  Unfortunately I am having a hell of a time getting xmr-stak to work.  I don't know why this is so difficult.

Mining Moneros with the Vega56 is awesome and using cast-xmr mining does help even more.
Great combo.
1550 hash with the two and this is no tweaking of the AMD memory.

1550 with one Vega 56?  I thought you can achieve 1800+ with xmr-stak with some minor Wattman tweaks?
