I can't get my vega vii to work with my nvidia cards 2080 rtx.
When i added the vega vii it initially detected the unkown hardware, I flashed the bios with v106 x64, Then i installed the latest drivers adrenaline 19.3.2 march 14th.
My device manager finally read it as vega vii but had this symbol "!" , So i thought it just needed a reboot, I rebooted it and now i can't get anything to load up, Not even my motherboard settings. The screen shows a large underscore "_" on the boot screen . And just stays stuck there and does not load windows or anything.
Any ideas on what I should try? Thanks
I would say that You made mistake swapping sequence of two steps: driver install and flash. You should change positions of Your cards to boot system with RTX and flash again Vega with Your original VBIOS (You did backup, don't You?). Than You can try flashing with new VBIOS (if it is proper one for Your manufacturer/model). I didn't do a backup. I'm an amd noob. Looks like I bricked my Vega vii on day 1  . So i unplugged the riser on the amd radeon so i can get back into windows. Replugged the riser back in hoping the hardware will get detected. Unfortunetly it does not detect. I tried to reinstall amd drivers and it can't detect hardware anymore probably b/c I ran that bios v106 x64 before installing drivers. It won't allow me to install drivers unless it detects hardware. What should i do next? return the card back to amazon? RMA it? This sucks now I know why I always stayed loyal to team green. Why did you flash another BIOS onto the card if I may ask? I was running RTX 2080 Ti + Vega VII in the same computer for a while, but I put my VII in my dedicated mining rig after a while. No issues at all running them together. I think you can get original BIOS from your vendor as well. What vendor do you have? Maybe I can get you an original BIOS, I have Sapphire one. I have an MSI vega vii. https://us.msi.com/Graphics-card/support/Radeon-VII-16G#down-driver&Win10%2064To answer your question Why did I flash another bios onto the card? I was not aware I was flashing another bios. I thought i was upgrading the bios by using the official amd bios updater, I felt like this was the best way to go, Even the msi says its using the offical amd bios version. So i double clicked v106 from the official amd website and bricked my card and become no longer detectable by bootup or windows, Before i flashed it was detectable as unknown graphics hardware in windows. Now after flashing to v106 windows device manager just shows nothing or blank like the hardware does not exist. On the msi website for vega vii it states that its just using the official amd bios version. v105 After I installed v106 my card can no longer be detected at bootup pci slot screen and no longer detected in the device manager. Since it can not be detected the hardware it won't allow me to install drivers or update the bios. Drivers say Error 173 amd graphics hardware not found. Also the flasher doesn't do anything v105, v106 since it can't find hardware. I tried atikmdag-patcher 1.4.6 and it says failed to locate driver file. Any last tips before I return this back to amazon on monday? I have a biostar b250+ motherboard if that matters. Okey that's not good. Maybe if you have another card you can fix it, but I doubt you have one spare  To everyone that have Vega's: No need to mess with BIOSes on Vega 56/64 OR Vega VII, just leave it. To be clear, there was a thing where you could flash the 56 with a 64 bios, which peeps claimed gave better clocks but lower power. But most of that was achievable without the risk. Is anybody mining with a vii at the moment, and what power vs hashrates are you getting? Is it more efficient than simply running two 56s? |

I have a handful of dummy plugs (UK) if anybody needs. I always found it depended on the MB and how the bios was set, also if you use Win10 or Linux, but they do come in handy.

The phone will certainly die before you mine at least some coins and earn (in dollars) less than 5-8. There is no need to mine using the gadgets. Get an ASIC or other mining equipment and go ahead!
That would need more than 40 RX GPUs. IN A PHONE? Maybe, if it's already 2029... |

This product is tested with motherboard Gigabyte GA-110H-D3A - with 6 GPU Cards & Acorn in M2 slot?
What is optimal choice Acorn M2 version for 6 GPU Cards in rig (3x1080 & 3xRX580) for optimal perfomance (various multi algo - mined coins on that rig is change every time)?
Absolutely not. That M2 is memory only, won't work. Check the specs on SQRL site, but the easiest thing to do is use an x16 to m2 adaptor, like the sqrl nests. However, this is all still speculation, as there is no software yet. |

Two vega 56, if you want to mine monero. But (and this is a massive ginormous but) it'll take you years to mine $600 worth of monero with two Vegas. If you pay for electric then you'll be losing money. Monero (until it forks) is no longer a GPU/CPU coin.

You guys seriously need a 'how to' for this - just found the 'repair' button. Marvellous!

I asked mods to move this to alt coin section.
The rasp pi 0 is old.
I see you banging your head hard on a wall.
WiFi sucks in many cases.
So you may have a perfect setup and simply have WiFi interferences.
Can you make it work with an ETH cable just to test?
yeah - lot of variables there. Old Pi, potential wifi/linux issues with wifi, potential moonlander hub issues. As Phil said, get the moonlanders hashing when connected to a network cable first, then get the pi working on wifi, then put them together. The original Pi's were pretty finicky about wifi dongles, so that alone could take you some time to troubleshoot. That is why the newer Pis are so popular, as the onboard wifi is pretty solid. |

Surely that doesn't stack up as a plan? No resale value, and you could get real gaming-capable 2070s for that price. Plus AMD miner software is pretty poor at teh moment as far as I can see... |

Yeah this will be third XMR fork as a miner to kick out the undesirables. I'm doing exactly what I have done in the past. A month or two prior to the scheduled fork, when the network difficulty goes sky high, I switch my Vega rig to something else. And then I hop right back on post fork.
Interesting that previous forks have seen the difficulty rise gradually before the fork, making Vegas gradually less usable, but this time it has rocketed out of control. I wonder if the 'boom and bust' cycle of XMR's forking schedule has encouraged asic devs to speed up their process, so they go full out immediately rather than ramp up secretly. |

A mining rig with 8 of these cards, riserless board would be great with 0.72 Ghs speed of mining in a single board. It is a lot better than E3 Antminer and it can also mine other coins, it should also shine on cryptonight algorithm. It is expensive to build such rig right now wih profitability down but for any believer in crypto it is wise to build such rig.
Dude, you mined any cryptonight coin recently? They are asic-ed to fook. Even if these 7s double the CN hashrate of the 64 and power use stays the same (neither of which seems likely), you'd still only be breaking even on electric costs. I am mining since 2014 but I already noted only build one for those who believe in the future of crypto not the ones who are in for the quick buck. Crypto needs real hardcore miners and not kiddies who want to make that quick buck. Mining is not for everyone in case you haven't noticed yet. I am mining cryptonight Heavy with Nvidias still do 500 h/s with a 1060. Kiddies? haha. If only! Nice to meet a real hardcore miner though. I have been mining for about the same time, but CN has never been so bad. Now a £2k Vega rig will 'make' c.$40 usd a month, and costs £90 a month to run here in the UK. The maths does not look good. Indeed, you mention the future of crypto, but there cannot be many who are willing to run at such a loss. I fear many of these Pow networks will fall, as they require running at a significant loss. It is not a practical place to be. |

Cool, I got to try the latest firmware today when I get home
Just to check - updating to new firmware process is same as original setup? Format SD, etcher new firmware image, reinsert/restart? |

Elephant in the room is power usage, surely. 90mhs is all very well, but if it's eating 300W to do it then...
Thats what I figured this would do with ETH, and thats un-optimized (this thing has so much memory you could load 4-5 separate DAGs on to it), so it could easily push 100MH. Big thing here is power though, especially in the current market. Underclocked it will probably be able to do 100MH @ ~ 150-200w which is huge. Thats half the power of the bitmain ASICs and 570s. Price wise it sucks, but if your paying high electricity (over 10c/kw) then just the power savings alone per year is worth it, especially if your "upgrading" from 570s. Exactly - if the 7nm die/whatever else AMD have baked in brings efficiency back into profitable territory then it's worth a shot, even with enormous ROI. But if efficiency isn't high, then it's a complete waste of time/electric. So pretty essential part of the information that isn't being shared yet! |

seems that the SQRL mining software will be released on February 14th  Valentines Day there's a youtube video with an email from SQRL support https://youtu.be/aq_FWWjp-i8Can't believe that a screenshot of an email makes a 10 minute video. Amaze. |

Is it advisable to mine with vega 64? I am mining monero and earn a misery
I like your style: 'earn a misery' is about right! |

I'm not sure how to get back to my default bios settings. I can't even find a control driver for it. Perhaps the USB cable I'm using is incorrect? Maybe the laptop isnt compatible and I should connect to a desktop? I only wanted to use the laptop as a controller for the gpu. To make mods. Kind of hard when it doesn't see the Gpu.
Any suggestion from them will never work because you are using a laptop to make your GPU visible in manager device so that you can modify the bios of the card. The riser will not work if you just connect the USB to the USB socket of your laptop. If you want to make it work you need to buy an adapter or they called it "EXP GDC Graphic Card Dock" it's an external PCIE this is working on laptop. You can find the guide from here https://trickiknow.com/external-graphics-card-for-laptop-egpu-setup-guide/And then for Bios Mod guide, you can find them from here [GUIDE][TUTORIAL][XMR,ETH]How To Mod Bios RX470/570/480/580 VEGA Mining 💰⛏ just scroll down and you will find the guide. This is good information. I was under the assumption I could use it USB to USB. I'll purchasing it right now! I'll let everyone know how it goes when it comes in. Indeed - and for the love of baby jesus don't listen to any formatting hard drive/updating bios/torrenting drivers nonsense. Cheap MB, psu, amd drivers off amd site, you'll be golden. Top tip: mod them one at a time, and save the stock bios. |

Difficulty rising little bit. It is going up as times passes.
I think you should mine it and get some of those coins.
Right now only 8GB+ gpus work fine. Big farms that have 4Gb cards are probably not switching to grin at the moment, especially if on Windows. As better mining software comes out allow older cards to mine Grin properly, difficulty will continue to rise. There were talks in the grin forum about delaying the use of 6Gb cards to prevent those diff spikes. Also be prepared to install the wallet about 16million times, cos it's about as user-friendly as drinking battery acid. |

SMoS Wildrig just crashes before it finishes setup for me. Says it might be too much overclock, but I've set everything to stock, removed all powersaving. --opencl-threads 1 --opencl-launch 16x0 Is this the correct starting point for MTP? It's unfortunate that the detailed setup on the first page of this thread doesn't include MTP... hi guys
I cant run miner for mtp algo in hiveos.whats the problem?
