Bu on Cryptipia it said one node is still active. That could mean withdrawals to wallet could be possible - but i can't find a wallet.

Is there anybody who downloaded the wallet earlier and willing to share executable with others?
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Virta Unique Coin Launch on: August 22, 2018, 10:53:54 AM
Tomorrow is deadline on Cryptopia, i still didn't find any way to transfer coins from there - c-cex and NovaExchange are not opened for new users, and i can't find a wallet to download anywhere.

Any advice how to get those cons from Cryptopia? Can someone share a wallet executable for windows (if it's still working)

thanks

What is the most concise and least confusing tutorial you have found on setting it up with Afterburner?

Now that you mention it, i think i never saw any vega guides using that's using afterburner
What' i've done is pretty simple :

1. Install Blockchain driver
2. Install Afterburner minimum Ver 4.4.0 with vega voltage support
3. Set your voltage/clock/power limit if necessary
4. Switch HBCC toggle ( I was doing it before devcon method was found, and since i'm able to automate it each restart, i dont bother to change)
5. Basic Cast_XMR config...and done

I'm currently at
913 mv
-10% Powlim
Core 1474 Mhz
Mem 970 Mhz
Fan 40%

with average 1991 H/s with 96% accept rate, HBM temp at 72 (without -fastjobswitch)
No 64 bios, no overdriventtol, im not sure about power consumption since i dont any extra power meter around



Really don't know why you/others prefer Afterburner over OverdriveNTool? With second one you can precisely set all frequencies and voltages (fan speed and temp target also).

After a few hours of farting around with settings, I have some interesting finding as far as hashrate VS power consumption on a Vega 56 with 56 BIOS on "Block-chain" drivers.

NOW PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that this only matters to you if you actually have to pay for your power (some people get free electrons from mom and dad, or have flat rate electricity).

Also, these numbers are based on the price of XMR at the time of calculation. I also have a water cooler for my CPU, and for some reason when running HW64 to get HBM temps, my liquid cooler would max out the fan RPM of the cooler, witch I'm sure added Watts to my readout at the wall.

The important thing to note is the constants, ignore the finite details of the exact power usage (yours WILL vary depending on things like water coolers and other computer peripherals) and pay attention to watts vs return vs HBM temps!

My mission was to find a balance of noise to return ratio. I didn't want my GPU fan to be running above 2500 RPM due to noise in the house. I also wanted to be within a safe HBM temp range as to add longevity to the video card if possible (At $800+, they aint cheap!)

Lastly, what is NOT taken into consideration here is the fact that in order to keep HMB in a safe temp range, I would have had to incrementally raise the fan RPM in order to keep the HBM and GPU temps in check, thus further increasing wattage used.

It's not a perfect experiment, but interesting nonetheless.

Vega 64 BIOS on Vega 56 Card:

1980 H/S @ 280w = $4.68 (What the hell is the point, read below)


Vega 56 BIOS on Vega 56 Card - Freq% @ 0 - MHz @ 935 - Fan RPM @ 2200

1845 H/s @ 150W @ -20%= $4.99- 65C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM
1894 H/s @ 160W @ -15%= $5.11 - 67C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM
1911 H/s @ 175W @ -10%= $5.11 - 69C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM
1927 H/s @ 189W @ -5%  = $5.12 - 71C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM       
1930 H/s @ 220W @  0%  = $5.03 - 73C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM
1945 H/s @ 215W @  +5   = $5.09 - 75C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM
1940 H/s @ 225W @  +10 = $5.04 - 77C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM
1950 H/s @ 235W @  +15 = $5.04 - 77C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM
1955 H/s @ 245W @  +20 = $5.02 - 79C MAX HBM Temp @ 2200 RPM

Based on my info, the sweet-spot seems to be "1927 H/s  @ 189W" netting the best return. In fact, the higher you go in H/s, the less you will earn. Same holds true if you lower power consumption vs H/s.

Now going Vega 56 on 64 Bios is completely INSANE, unless you are not paying for power!
 

Actually it's not insane, but you just have to do some more adjustments. Almost all people here are using Afterbuner so i'm not quite sure which frequencies of GPU are used with those settings, but with vega56 on 64 bios, and registry mod i have 1950 H/s @ 150-160W. GPU clock at 1407/925mV and mem at 1100/905mV.

I see here that many people claim to get 1950 Hs with memory speed of 945 or so. I'm wondering what i'm doing wrong - i'm also getting 1950, but with memory at 1100 (and gpu at 1407). If i set memory to 945, hash rate goes down to ~1700-1750!?

I'm using Vega 56 cards, with 64 bios and registry files for HBM1100. And of course, blockchain drivers and latest version of Cast XMR.

P.S. i have 6 cards, tried with single one and same result. I'm also using only 2GB of RAM, not sure could that be an issue (but i doubt, as all calculations are done inside GPUs).

thanks



One you upgrade to the 64 BIOS, you have to use 64 settings. 1950 H/s @ 935/945 is for 56 un-moded cards!

Try these settings (for your appropriate card and BIOS type) NOTE that it's a starting point, your results may vary slightly:

Vega 64 Hash Rates

1900 Hash/s with 200 watts power consumption

    Core Frequency: -10%
    Memory Clock: 1025 MHz
    Power Limit: -23%

2000 Hash/s with 250 watts power consumption

    Core Frequency: -10%
    Memory Clock: 1095 MHz
    Power Limit: 0

2050 Hash/s with 280 watts power consumption

    Core Frequency: -10%
    Memory Clock: 1105 MHz
    Power Limit: +20%

Vega 56 Hash Rates

1900 Hash/s with 150 watts power consumption

    Core Frequency: -10%
    Memory Clock: 945 MHz
    Power Limit: -22%

2000 Hash/s with 200 watts power consumption

    Core Frequency: -10%
    Memory Clock: 965 MHz
    Power Limit: 0

2050 Hash/s with 225 watts power consumption

    Core Frequency: -10%
    Memory Clock: 990 MHz
    Power Limit: +12%


Hm, sounds strange to me, as i though vega64 bios is used only because of better undervolting and overclocking possibilities. Instead in relative percentages, do you know exact frequencies of GPU at those settings? I'm most interested in lower power consumption (150W) and getting about 1900 Hash/s is just fine to me. Even if cards doesn't complaint about 1100mhz, i believe they will be more relaxed on 945MHz.

And just to be clear, you didn't even change registry for voltage adjusting, just using installed drivers/cards with factory settings?

Btw, is there any explanation of intensity argument, and how to find the best one for the card (except trying all 10)?


Right now I am getting the following using Stock Vega 56 BIOS on "Blockchain Drivers" from AMD and it's been stable for more than 24 hours:

Average Hashrate = 1923 H/s
Fan set to = 2000 RPM
Temp = 60C (Stable)
GPU Freq = 0%
Memory Freq = 935 MHz
Power Limit % = -10
Power draw at the wall (Measured) = 150W to 165W

That sounds quite nice - mine fans are about 3000-3500 in order to keep HBM temp around 60-62C. But i'm using 6 gpu which of course increase total heat and cards are harder to cool - how much cards you have?
However, i'll give it a try (stock bios, unmodified registry).

Thanks.

My HBM is hovering around 63/65C...do you know what the safe maximum is for these temperatures. I read that HBM will usually run hotter than GPU temps as well, but I'm not sure what a safe maximum is?!

I think (but can't claim) that it slows down automatically somewhere about 70C, so you shouldn't be able to burn it out. But if you want to avoid slowdowns keep it under 65.

For all who may be interested, i can share my 'hardware' rig monitor, which monitor both rig presence (local ping) and pool hash rate, and perform hard reset if any of two stuck. It's based on cheap ESP8266 (NodeMCU) controller which do all the work without any additional hardware - just need to connect wires from mobo (reset, power led and gnd).

Here's how very simple web interface looks like
