What’s the general consensus on building a new Vega rig @ today’s rates? (Card price vs earnings)
Yes no wait never  Huh

Never say never, but currently IMO price/hashrate ratio isn't in favour of vega. RX 470/480/570/580 gives better results.

From pm discussions    4 vega 56's  can be had for about 1700-1800 usd  put in with a ryzen 1700  and a proper mobo.

Build is about 2200.   it will do 8000-8500 for cryptonight/monero  under 700 watts.  so roi is under a year.

how good is that? I am not sure.  What I don't like is  if xmr tanks  the card does not have a lot of value.

Don't forget that vega's doing 44 mh/s eth @ 150W, what other cards can do this?

On another note... Did anyone tried Myriad-Groestl? How is Vega performing on that algo?

Wattman is part of AMD drivers. Open up AMD’s Radeon Settings app and click the Gaming tab, then Global Settings, and finally the Global WattMan tab.

Any thoughts why my hashrate is dropping?

Either HBCC is turning off somehow (some other program or task starting?) or your fans aren't high enough (put em around at least 3000) to keep the HBM mem cool enough to sustain the high hashrate

I've had the same problem - I don't think it's HBCC, becasue I can restart the miner without touching HBCC and speeds are back to normal. That made me think it was temp - but even with fans over 4000rpm in a cool room it would still happen.

I tried both using the iGPU, as others have suggested, and going into Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Performance Settings, and then switching to adjust for best performance (Disabling all the windows animations). That worked for me.

How much ram do you have?

I switched to iGPU, windows best performance settings set, no programs running (only Windows Defender and Avast).
Added 4gb of ram. Now at 8gb... can see HBCC slider, but it's not movable.
Fans over 3800 rpm... temps never exceed 55C.

I see some difference, it doesn't drop as much as before... around 100 H/s. EDIT: Only the second card drops from 1900 to ~1800. The first one starts at 1550 and stays stable.


Both cards runs two threads (2016, 1800).
I guess i didn't win the silicon lottery with the first one.

What is your hashrate? Care to share P-States settings?
Gonna try fiddling with the beta overdriveNTool.

anyone testing hashrate with softplay mod?
speed/watt?
with amd-stak 4gpu i got 7700hs/675watt, on pool 24h average result 7850hs, earning around 3% above whattomine calculator
happy with stak,
vega seems most stable gpu like fury series

I ditched the afterburner. The frequencies jumped between values i set and boosted/reference values like crazy.

2x Vega 56, flashed with 64 bios, blockchain drivers, using oldcomer's softplay mod.
4GB DDR3, 70GB vram, HBCC on (don't have slider, but toggle)

Power draw from the wall is 320W (-50W pc, gives about 135W per card).

0,1 threads intensity: 2016, 1800
2,3 threads intensity: 1900, 1800 - i have monitor connected to the second vega

Initial hashrate:


But it wont stay up for long... in the first minute it drops by 300-400


Overdrive settings:

I can control voltage in AB. Only difference is that i don't have SoftPowerPlayTable mod, cause that shit was crashing my system.
I had to reinstall blockchain drivers in order to get power limit slider working.. i could only set -1 0 +1 %.

Yeah i was just about to write that it isn't worth it. Better stick with monero. Which is already established good coin with potential to grow. Smiley

Vega can do ~4000h/s cryptonight-lite.
I managed to compile xmr-stak-amd for it. Or you can find ready windows build on github with 1% fee.

2 Truthchanter
For cryptonight 900+ mem speed can be enough but for eth you'll need 1100 and Vega64 bios

Nice!  Shocked Shocked So Aeon is even more profitable than Monero.
I am gonna try to compile the algo with stak too.

On another note...
i tried flashing my vegas 56 with the 64 bios and i am having troubles with the reg files for powerplay from @Hellae. None of them works.. windows wont boot / green screen and then fans starts to spin like crazy. Any suggestions what may be wrong?

I have it currently running without the undervolt which is pita (vdcc 1.1V). Its doing ~1700H/s per card.
My gfxs are Sapphire 56 (1.6Gbps) versions.
