So guys our VEGAs are now pretty much shit because they are doing only slightly better than RX 580s which are half the price. How do you guys feel about selling our VEGAs? Good decision or is there something coming up thats worth keeping them for? I know CN ASICs will die but i don't believe they will be profitable for much longer.

Lol what are you smoking?  Slightly better? Slightly? Really lol.. My vega FE can hit 2,250H/s on Cryptonight. Yea.. "slightly" better than a 580.

Last time I checked 8GB 580s on ebay are still going for 300 USD used. A 580 does half of what a vega hashes. With the new 18.3.4 you can run 12 on a single board @ ~24Kh/s. Go try and do 24kh/s on a single board using 480s/580s and let me know how well it goes.

My Vega 56 does 47 MH/s on eth...thats a little over 50 bucks a month. Even at 2200 on cryptonight it does not come close to that, so not sure why people would mine that over eth.

Two 570's still does more in eth and costs less than a single vega. The only argument for Vega at this point is its slightly better Perf/watt, since even two rigs of 570s will cost less and produce more than a rig of vegas.

My argument is mine whatever is more profitable for the card and trade it to whatever coin after. Have you looked at neoscrypt or raven?

for at least 1 year it has been more profitable to mine cryptonight and convert to eth, if you wanted to get eth. but only smart miners who didnt followed whattomine did this  Tongue

I barely know anyone here who mined ETH on Vegas.  If at all they did it would be dual mining.

We are talking about mining most profitable coin and converting to ETH though exchange..

Why would you mine ETH if you could mine cryptonight and trade it back for more ETH. No reason to buy RX 580/570 if you can get more coins from Vega.

Umm?  assuming 1000 hashes for an RX580 which cryptonight coin would you mine to convert to ETH and be more profitable than mining ETH in first place at 30 Mh/s?  Or are you suggesting mining cryptonight with Vega and swap with ETH?

The second option

I don't think many mine cryptonight now on RX570/RX580s.  It would be Ethash or something else.

Depends what is more profitable.  I can still mine 960h/s on my 580's @80watts and there are a few good cryptonight coins still out there.

80w on wall?  that's unlikely. 
RX580 can even do 1000+ but at 95w-100w from wall.  Still at Efficiency (Hashes/Watt) of 10 vs Vega with efficiency of 12-12.5 + less heat + less space + less components to setup similar hashrate rig.  Imo RX570/RX580 were main attractions for ETH mining.  However, now the difficulty is so high you need 410-420 MH/s to get 1 ETH in a month.

Why would you mine ETH if you could mine cryptonight and trade it back for more ETH. No reason to buy RX 580/570 if you can get more coins from Vega.

+ you would have to buy 2x MB, ram, cpu risers for the RX580/570 combos. + you would need to go around quantity limits when you buy them + the space needed for each rig and the time to flip 24 gpu instead of 12...

I mine with Vega 64 with 2130 hashes on 170W from the wall on Cryptonight.

what are the clocks and volts?

Wouldn't put much stock in these numbers... these are better than I get with Vega FE's and all my 56/64s.

The newest driver baby... I have my memory clocked at 1185

You should carefully examine your results on the pool. My experience with reference samsung-based vegas is that they have a lot compute errors after 1150mhz hbm clock producing some kind of fake hashrate.

There was another user mentioning that the errors come from leakage from the silicon in high temperature as he could take the cards a lot higher in clock with lower temps using a liquid card . Another conclusion is that lower voltage is beneficial because it lowers temperature

What's your voltage and did you unlock SOC?

If you guys think cost is going to make Bitmain stop you're all wrong. They have more than enough money to do anything they want. They made more profit than NVIDIA in 2017... They just made ASICS for Cryptonight which was deemed asic resistant. If the only factor is money then for sure they are mining secretly with their Asics. The only moment it was revealed that they had ASICS was when Monero announced their hardfork to change their POW.

Hey, just wanted to say that I really appreciate your work. Your commits are very nice!
Did you plan to merge them with the current dev branch of xmr stak? They added very good features such as opencl cache which reduced load time of my 8xVega from 2:30 to 15s and +20h/s overall with memchunk

Is the precompiled miner already compiled with 0% dev fee?

Gents, I'm having a problem adding a second PSU to run card #5(and eventually 5-8). I have 4 64s powered by a corsair 1200i, getting 8k hashes total. I'm using an add2PSU to connect two corsair 1200s. Whenever I add my 5th card using my secondary PSU, it goes unrecognized in windows. The 'Radeon' lights up, but there is no red light near the power cables.

To troubleshoot, I changed all connections to my second PSU so it acts as primary and it powers 4 cards fine. I've also added 5 cards to each PSU and they all hash fine - however it's far too close to the max watts. One time I switched two cards to the secondary psu - one card had all red lights on, the other just a green light but neither were recognized. The fans don't spin.

The problem lies with trying to get any cards in attached to the secondary psu to be recognized in windows. I'm using s Biostar Tb-250 pro. Anyone have any suggestions?

You have to DDU and reinstall drivers every time you add a new card (:

Hi guys, I need a little advice
I flashed my Vega 56 to 64 and applied the 1050hbm reg file.
I tried changing the GPU core and voltage in overdrive.
I can’t find any config that keeps it stable. My mem is stable but I can’t get the core to stabilize.
My most stable was 1480/980mv for core and 1080/900mv for hbm.

There are 2 indicators that make me believe that my gpu is not stable.
1. The lights near the 8 pins are flashing every few seconds.
2. In GPUz at sensor page when you look at the core clock graph it keeps fluctuating.

At every fluctuation Hashrate instantly drops to 1400-1600 and comes back to 1800+

It seems that I need to mod the SOC clock to be higher than 1107 but I can’t seem to mod the reg files.

I have the same issue with one of my vegas too

Fixed it by using xmr-stak-amd
Vega 56 flashed to 64 @160w 50C
2016/1800
I get 1990h with 1408/920 core 1150/900 mem 1999 soc

Running rock solid for the past 4hrs

I finally managed to increase SOC clock, but my gpu clock is still bouncing around. My mem stabilized at 1150
