Didn't I tell you in another post that my Vega 56 rig does about 1800-1900 h/s per card? Now go compare that to other AMD cards and you'll have your answer.
Also search for Vega 64 benchmarks, so you can compare the 56 to the 64.

I see threads for people that make miners but im wondering if there is a night and day difference between the 2?
im using a program called cryptogoblin and this was its result on my 15 7600k'
HASHRATE REPORT
-----------------------------------------------------------
| ID | 5s | 60s | 15m | ID | 5s | 60s | 15m |
-----------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | 59.65 | (na) | (na) | 1 | 64.79 | (na) | (na) |
| 2 | 65.56 | (na) | (na) |
-----------------------------------------------------------
Totals: 190.00 (na) (na) H/s
Highest: 196.23 H/s
and these are the results from my video card miner called xmr-stak-nvidia
HASHRATE REPORT
| ID | 10s | 60s | 15m |
| 0 | 601.3 | 603.0 | (na) |
---------------------------
Totals: 601.3 603.0 (na) H/s
Highest: 611.8 H/s
will one of these programs people post here double my power?
Nope, but a second gpu will double your hashing power. And guess what ... A third one will triple it! Holy Jesus! I can do math! ... Lol. |

What do you mean people make their own miners? Are you talking about those of us who build multiple gpu miners?

Well I think the least amount of time offline in order to get an email notification is 10 minutes. Used to be anyway. So it's at least offline that long each time you get a notification. What's on the miner when you get the notifications. I guess it's possible that it's doing a lot of disconnecting and auto reconnecting.
Are you using wifi or ethernet? I'm not saying that your connection is dropping, but something is causing the software to stop hashing. That's one possibility.

SO I just fired my rig up yesterday and I keep getting "dead worker" notifications. Is this normal? If not, what is the recommendation?
Are you talking about the email notifications? |

I wouldn't mix AMD and Nvidia in the same rig, but that isn't to say it won't work. I like to keep things simple. If I'm building a 6 gpu rig, I want all of the cards to be identical.
Vega's can be a bitch to deal with because they aren't as plug n play as Nvidia cards. I have one 6 gpu vega rig that runs like a champ. It's set up to enable and disable the gpu's in device manager on every reboot. It's also set up to restart the miner if it dips below a specified hashrate threshold that is preset by a script that runs every time I start the miner.

I saw some posts about DAG file on ethereum and it influencing AMD cards (all rx cards the most).
apparently they don't seem to have a bright future, can amd driver updates more or less fix it or is that already taken into account?
or is in a year or so time the only way out mining a different currency like Zcash and for those it seems that nvidia GPUs are just much better?
As long as the profitibility is there with cryptonight algo, AMD cards are going to kick ass. If that changes, they might not kick ass as much. That isn't to say your AMD rig will be useless though. The fact that AMD Vega's have been so hard to find has forced me to buy Nvidia gpu's and I think that's a good thing. Diversify your farm. |

$1340USD for a S9 and a PSU? Yeah that sounds like a scam to me.

Wait until someone has them in stock. I bought those at the end of November and have been buying Nvidia cards ever since, because I haven't seen them in stock anywhere.
how many h/s with Nvidia cards? No idea. I've never tested it with Nvidia cards because other algo's are more profitable with Nvida gpu's. |
|
|
|
Is it profitable to start with just one card and then expand as one can afford more cards? Og should one just watt until one can afford a proper rig with 6 cards?
Sure. If you want to get started and get a feel for everything, I wouldn't hesitate starting off with one gpu. |

Alright guys. It was the incompatibility between the CPU and RAM. I put in a new i3 7th gen I had and it booted right up. Its running now. Thanks all.
Damn. Glad you got it figured out. I didn't even know there was such a thing as a compatibility issue between cpu and ram. 15 years in the IT industry and I've not once ran into that issue. |

Hi, any news about this two sites ?
Thanks
Nope. Only buy from Bitmain. |

At times I've experienced the wheel at the Windows login freezing while the gpu drivers are being installed. And other rigs, it has logged me into Windows and it will go through a bit of freezing. It takes some time to install drivers for multiple cards. It would let it sit for 15 minutes and see if anything has changed.
Or just test them one by one.

I would just buy another ethernet cable and a switch if you need it.

With this hashrate, I should be getting about 2.5 BCN per hour but I am only getting 1.2 BCN per hour which is half of it. Very unfair.
That is not correct. |
|
|
|
yeah. go for it ...20 GPUs sounds about right..
Lol. I'm guessing he has never built a rig before. Start small dude and then experiment with other builds that you are interested in. |
|

Well the amount of bcn you earn per hour is going to vary by pool, by difficulity, by miners with dev fees. Check those variables for your comparisons. Check your hashrate in the command line window of the miner too. Pool front ends are not always accurate at reporting hashrate. Is it consistent between miners? If you're getting what you should be getting as far as hashrate on the cards, then you're good.
Bottom line ... If your "effective" hashrate is on par with the results of others with the same cards, you need to look at other things, because your cards are fine.

GTX 1070 is not good for mining Monero. Vega is the best at mining Monero. Should be a simple choice.
If you end up with an Nvidia card, you'll want to look at the equihash algo. Nvidia is going to be better at equihash than it will with cryptonight. |

I don't have Vega FE's, but I get 1800-1900 h/s on my Vega 56's.
