Any word on amd vega hash rates?

[R0mi]

I have 6 bloody Gigabyte Vega 56 flashed to gigabyte air 64 bios the are driving me mad!  Two of them managed to run miraculously on Asus x370 board with ryzen 1600 cpu. using oldcomers more power 142 fixed reg , p7:1408/875  P3:1100/850 . have been running for a month now at 1600-1700h, don't bother touching them for any improvement!

However, the other bunch of 4 is crashing on everything I throw at them- none of the helae regs work! the Oldcomers one with the working config as used on the x370 board doesn't work!  the vegamining.blogspot.sg recipe doesn't work!   
board is Gigabyte z270p-d3 , g4560 cpu, 16gb ram.  2x Vegas put in the first and third 16x slots.  win 10 pro 1703. blockchain driver aug 23

what the hell is wrong with GB Vega 56 batches?  I see people I the forum  running several of them successfully, used their overdriventool setting, instant crash!

Did anyone successfully flash other bios on those damn Gigabytes?

First thing I would do, assuming your motherboard bios is up to date:  go online to the Microsoft site and download/apply the Fall Creators Update for Windows 10.  It seems unlikely that 4 different cards would all be bad.

The Helae Reg mods didn't work for me either.  Oldcomer's "fixed" mod from pt 2 of this YouTube video was better.  Best I found was the one offered by user brnstead on this forum.

guys what do you think about this setup ? (i'm willing to update to 4 gpu's) :
ASRock H81 PRO
I3 2100
2x SAPPHIRE RX VEGA 64 8G HBM2 (willing to add 2 more vega later)
THERMALTAKE SMART-SE 730W Modular 80Plus Bronze (i'll add a second one whene i add 2 more vega later)
8gb RAM
SSD 120gb

I would also suggest you get a bigger drive if you can.  If you plan on running full nodes for whatever crypto you mine and I guarantee you'll probably try a couple of different ones in a few months, you'll run out of space real quick.

Anyone got any solid numbers for vega frontier? I'm considering buying one to try it out but would rather have some solid numbers before pulling the trigger.

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

which driver did you use? blockchain driver?

Well its not worth it for sure, if you would buy it just for mining. You get 2-3 vega 56s for a price of 1 FE?

And it wont even mine any better than vega 56.

1. add virtual memory, 16gb per card
2. Make sure you use 23aug blockchain driver
2. re-enable both cards in device manager before mining
3. use cast-xmr miner
4. make sure your temps are below 70 degrees (both gpu and hbcc)

If I have 8 Vega 64 cards how to proceed all 8 cards?  Looks like only 7 works.

Please advice.

one of the cards is not stable

yes right, so what to do ?   make 7 cards or how ?

Well I can get a hold of a vega frontier for 699 USD. Seeing how the 56 and 64s are both selling for 600+ it was something to consider since the frontier card will likely retain it's value better aswell. I figured there wouldn't be much of a difference but does anyone have an actual screenshot or video link for proof. I tried reading a few pages of this thread but can't seem to find any concrete stats.

test each card separately, find the unstable one, downclock or replace it... blockchain drivers support 8 cards

I'm using HWInfo64 for monitoring temperatures. However, the GPU# in it does not link directly neither to the Driver Key, nor the OPenCL index nor the card number in overdriventool.

Is there a monitoring utility that can show which card is which, precisely (i.e. PCI number, Driver Key, OpenCL index etc) and perhaps link that to the GPU# in hwinof64 ?

There's a hard way, off course: using single card at a time and checking which temperatures rise in hwinfo64, but I was hoping for a faster method.

My Vega 64 with softpp 1100@905mV working perfectly at 1960 H/s, but when I change the SOC clock to 1199 (6C,B0,01 -> C0,D4,01) after 1 minute mining resets itself even with the same settings of 1100@905mV and not increasing the Memory P3 to 1150...
Any idea what other setting should I change to make it work? or is it silicon lottery?

[dexxa05]

Hi Guys,

Which mobo do you recommend ? I have an MSI Z170 Gaming Pro Carbon, but have too many issues to get it working properly.

Thx in advance

Since today I got rejected shares: "Share above target" error, for ALL my shares. Yesterday was all OK. What has such a problem, what is solution?

Thats what it pretty much is. It (SOC) seems to vary a lot, you might need to set as high as 950mV to make it work.

If you are receiving the error on Nicehash pool try to switch to other location. Several people get rid of the error after switching from EU to US servers. Please share you system|driver|miner info, I am trying to figure what's on. It is the first time it is VEGA-connected. Up to now usually it was about old drivers for obsolete cards, Catalyst 15.7 in my case.

Any ideas?

1.8.2.0 Pre-release 2
@DillonN DillonN released this 4 hours ago

This is a pre-release intended to test the new version before it is released. Please restrict feedback and discussion to issue #487. This version may be buggy and most users probably want to download 1.8.1.5 below.

Changes in this pre-release

Drop Xmr-Stak-CPU in favour of new Xmr-Stak miner
Cryptonight mining for CPU, AMD, and NVIDIA
As many are aware, gives boosts for Vega cards
Due to config system, works a bit differently than most miners for tweaking (Wiki page)
BETA Threaded benchmarking
Benchmark devices simultaneously
ClaymoreCryptonight_old and Prospector have some issues currently, recommended to benchmark them manually for now
Fixes from 1.8.1.5, and some from upcoming 1.8.1.6
Overall 1.8.2.0 Changes

BETA Auto-tuning of ClaymoreDual intensity values (-dcri)
Allows benchmarking of many values for -dcri and saves all of them, using the most profitable during mining
Window to show/edit speeds for different dcri values as well as which will be benchmarked, opened by right clicking on the algorithm in the benchmark window
Enabled for each algorithm by right click menu in benchmark window (disabled by default)
NOTE: can take a very long time to benchmark many dcri values. Fortunately the miner will mine to your wallet if a valid one is entered, so you will be paid for the benchmarks
Currently ignores existing -dcri extra launch parameters and will overwrite existing speeds once enabled (suggested to keep a backup of 1.8.1.4 configs for pre-release in case you want to roll back)
Selected dcri values to benchmark are completely customizable
Ability to copy tuning settings to identical GPUs (works like existing copy all settings feature, but just for tuning settings/speeds)
Detailed guide coming soon
Drop Xmr-Stak-CPU in favour of new Xmr-Stak miner
Cryptonight mining for CPU, AMD, and NVIDIA
As many are aware, gives boosts for Vega cards
Due to config system, works a bit differently than most miners for tweaking (wiki page soon)
BETA Threaded benchmarking
Benchmark devices simultaneously
ClaymoreCryptonight_old and Prospector have some issues currently, recommended to benchmark them manually for now
Benchmark window now resizable

Hello. 8 Vega64 will work with ssd 120 GB?
I read that you need at least 15GB swap file for 1 VEGA. So you need a ssd 200-240 GB for 8Vega?

There are no optimized miners or drivers for Vega. New update soon and my opinion Vega work 3x more hashrate from rx 580
