Any word on amd vega hash rates?

[duyquang06]

Just got my aftermarket vega 56 and it's using hynix memory.
can i still flash it to the manufacturer's vega 64 bios from reference cards? (samsung)

or which vega 64 bios can i flash to?

I'm having the same issue. I purchased a vega 56 red devil which has Hynix memory. I can't find any vega 64 bios with Hynix memory at all, they all have Samsung. Might have to stick with samsung only unless they start making Vega 64s with Hynix later on. Any one else figured out a way to flash a Hynix vega 56 to 64?

yes,you can flash vega 56(hynix) to 64bios(samsung). do not forget backup stock BIOS! 

also come new wepons.....

sorry, I was misunderstanding　

[Morgon]

Sooo, you can use the same registry mod for V56 Custom cards as for the Reference cards??

In my experience, no; it depends entirely on the memory. Many (all?) aftermarket 56s are using Hynix memory, which doesn't perform anywhere near the Samsung memory present in all reference cards, and aftermarket 64s.

Anybody tried any other algos?

Anybody tried any other algos?

Question should be: Anybody tried any other algos and found similar or better results compared to cryptonight?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2710746 discussion on the vega frontier / mining with it specifically if anyone wants to join


currently the vega frontier is on sale @ newegg for 750, someones probably already posted that here but I'm still trying to catchup xD

So, what makes of aftermarket cards are out there ?
I know of Sapphire. Others ?
Also, what memory they're using ?

I myself has switched from Ref 56 to ASUS Strix Vega 56. The one I had comes with Hynix memory, it could push to 950 mem clock, but it's all invalid shares from there on, so I have to downclock the memory to 890 ish, doing about 1750 to 1800 h/s at best.

How does the noise of the card compare to the ref card? I assume a lot less noise to maintain similar temperature?

Yes, the pros are definitely lower fan speed and noise, you can achieve similar temperature with much lower fan speed, so it's doing 2.2k - 2.5k RPM at the moment.

This is probably not relevant if you are building an open air mining rig, but for my case it's my gaming PC, so another difference is the hot air is not disposed at the rear of the card (Reference), but being pushed within the closed case environment, so you will need a few casing fan to pull the hot air out as well.

just a question:

I can but a GIGABYTE RADEON RX VEGA56 in reference design.
It will be delivered next week.
Now I am concerning about the HBM2...

Do all Vegas in reference design have Samsung HBM2?

[Michael20]

I think, the max limit is from the bios/voltage.. flash the 64bios and you could easily get 1050mhz 

[Morgon]

Do all Vegas in reference design have Samsung HBM2?

Yes, when reference cards were made, only Samsung had HBM2 available. The aftermarket cards were late in part because Hynix wasn't ready.

Just noticed you bought frontier's. The guides below while helpful won't fully apply to the frontier cards. There's been some talk in this thread about them but generally not as successful getting a full rig running as with the 56/64s.


Take a read through this thread and the cast thread. Both have great info. The mining guide below is the best one I've seen for Vega's.

I encourage you to read through the following threads/guides:

After some trial and error, I think I got my vega rig to stablize Updated the Ref 64 from Aug23rd blockchain drivers to current Adrenalin drivers, went from barely holding onto 40Mh/s now hashing 42.8Mh/s on ETH. 56 saw no noticeable changes..stayed at just under 42Mh/s for both drivers
for cast-XMR the blockchain driver was a bit better for both the 56(MSI air boost) and 64s. 2k H/s per card easily with a little more room for the ref 64 provided they can stay cool.

Article here on how to get 3 Vega FE working, another guy claims 6

I have 3, 2 is no problem had trouble with the third but will try his tips - I was using the Vega 64 guide but FE is slightly different

http://www.legitreviews.com/mining-xmr-monero-amd-radeon-vega-frontier-edition-cards-2050-hs_201259

the above link doesn't always work, this seems better

http://forums.legitreviews.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=46645

will try it this weekend on my threadripper rig when I go home

The FE is faster if you can get it stable and I can get it down to 150W so power not an issue

Thank you for sharing.
What is the tension you can run the hynix memory at ? Can it hold 875 or 900mV ? What is the power needs (higher or lower than the ref) ?

Same question here. Is there a better site to compare equipment/ hardware to algorithms other than https://whattomine.com/?

MSI V56 is getting OpenCL hang after about 30 minutes of mining. the drivers shit the bed and I have to DDU, reinstall drivers, pixel patch everytime. its quite annoying
i've tried the following so far

-replaced 2x 6+2 pin connectors
-replaced riser
-changed from 1x PCIe slot to 16x vice versa
-went from blockchain aug 23 release to Adrenalin driver.
- added -wd 0 in bat file, miner will stay on but the V56 in question reports 0.00Mh/s once OpenCL hang arises.

Can anyone think of anything else?
