Title: Help with AMD Vega GPU Hashing Issues Post by: Wananavu99 on June 24, 2018, 12:08:14 AM Hello there,
I was doing some testing on my GPUs and realized that for one of my cards I'm only getting (GPU3) 200-300h/s, whereas the others are hashing around (GPU0) 1600-1700h/s. Here's what I found, wondering if anyone has a fix for this. Both cards are updated with the same drivers and I'm still not sure what's going on. This is on Cast XMR mining.

Title: Re: Help with AMD Vega GPU Hashing Issues Post by: aleksej996 on June 24, 2018, 03:45:09 PM One time I was experiencing issues with my GPU being too slow it turned out I didn't connect it well to my motherboard.
Make sure all the cables are connected first of all before you start banging your head on what could be the problem.

So what I finally did after spending hours on this was to add an Nvidia card. This is an old Nvidia card from an old PC and now I'm hashing 1800 h/s per card. Just took forever trying to figure it out.

Just took forever trying to figure it out. Pretty weird that your solution to fix an issue with your AMD GPU is to install an NVIDIA GPU. Your problem probably had to do with AMD driver's compute mode settings. Possibly, you were using a driver version that required you to manually turn on "compute mode" but then this was automatically done for you because when you installed a new GPU, the AMD driver settings also screwed themselves up in a way that made your GPU run on different drivers (do you have the aug. 23 blockchain driver also installed?).

I talk a lot about this in a few of my videos. Best of luck. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrIMbomEyfV-EyKfVokfNiw

Most likely he added the older nvidia card to handle the machines display output. If you're not using onboard video and relying on one of the Vegas to power display output, then you're going to see hashrate drops and will need to lower intensity on the card driving the video to prevent crashes. Just guessing from experience - though I don't use Cast. Now if he is feeling adventurous flash them to 64s, tweak the powertables a bit and hit 1950-2000 hash/card |
