Vega 64 bios mod. The best i can get with stock bios is 39MH/s. [/quote]
39 x 6 does not equal 262mh
But all kudos to you, I would love to be doing 39 with all my vegas but as said I am in a crunch to get more machines up rather than tweaking for now.
Still hoping to switch from Windows to Nix soon

If you bios mod you will get 43mhs. Read the whole thread its all in the previous posts. Xmr is more proiftable anyway. I am nearly 2x more profitable mining xmr with vega 56

Guys, I'm still dropping to 1500 per card (two vega 64s with 16GB RAM) after 20-24 hours. Am forced to restart everything to get back to 1900 per card. Can anyone share their insights as to what I might be missing? I have the cards running on a rig I remote into, so no displays attached at all (not even to the onboard video). Maybe I need dummy HDMI dongles? Thanks for any help.

Someone a few pages back said, if on windows 10 go to system/ advance system settings/advance/settings and select best performance. By default its set to let windows choose whats best for computer. This is what helped my windows 10 1vega 64air, 1vega 64lc, 8gb ram system 3940hs total.

I had the same issue with hashrate going to 1700 and had to restart the miner. I noticed that was happening while i was running anything else than the miner that had to do with the gpu ( HWinfo, afterburner). What i did was to lower a bit the oc settings and i was just fine..

Is there stable intensity above 1800/1600 at all? I didn't have to restart the rig for more than 2 weeks at these. Then yesterday, I somehow lost 100H/s and I thought - lets do it and restart. Applied some higher intensities - first 2016/1600. Then 1900/1600. But I keep getting crashes after a while. Also, at 2016/1600, the cards had worse hashrate than at 1900/1600. Still, if I have to restart and reset every few hours, that ain't gonna cut it, 50-60H/s on top of what I was getting at 1800/1600 makes not much sense if its not stable.
How's the situation with your Vega rigs guys?
Also - is there anyone using 4 Vega + 2 Nvidia cards, that can share some wisdom on the matter ? What nvidia, what programs etc. As I dont think we are going to get new drivers, and I can simply forget about using HBCC on all 6 cards in the rig ...
P.S. Talking about Vega 64.
single Vega FE will do 2150H/s using two x 2016 at 32GB Ram but add more the rate drops. When I had 16GB I got a lower rate so I'm hoping 64GB will get me all 3 at 2150H/s. seems to be proportional to HBCC size which is proportional to system RAM. I work away from home so will try at the weekend Let me know how it goes. I'm getting 2040 with 2x2016. What is your OC? I only have 16g ram.

I just want to thank everyone for being so helpful in this thread. Special thanks to Hellae for his reddit guide and Oldcomer's hardware for his YouTube guide. Just set up my two rigs today running 8 Vega 64s. I am at a combined 15300-15600 hashrate (pool just shows random numbers but calculated total hashes over 7 hours turn out around these numbers).
Running fine for 7 hours. Each system is consuming around 700watts from the wall, one has a killawatt and the other the Corsair RM1000i with Corsair link showing 700W and 93% efficiency on 230v. Hashrate seems a tad low but I had to leave shortly after putting them to work so I had no time to tinker.
One has a running monitor plugged in but I started the second one through TeamViewer (had disconnected the monitor while off) and seems to be running as well as the one with the monitor, maybe HDMI dummies aren't required after all!. I still ordered two and I am waiting for them. Both have onboard gpus as primary. I got two i3-4170s just because I might use them for other projects in the future (AES-NI support). 1000watt PSUS seem just fine so my advice is buy them if they are cheap instead of 1300+.
Have fun, I am!

Yeah lower memory overclock a bit and you should be rock steady. not all chips are made equal so...lower the overclock on all cards or on just the one that is causing problems.

I had similar issue and it was because windows was going into power saving mode.

I guess I was expecting too much from the vega what concerns mining speeds. There were fairytales that speed of mining ethereum will be 70+ m, even 100m. And in the end we got a card that is extremely difficult to make to work in the rig with more cards stable. Which max undervolted has problems with overheating on many algos, etc etc. In the end, I think that Vega is good only for avoiding ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I like vega cards. 1900 hash XMR @ 150w per card. And all stable more than week. 5 miners in total: 4 with gigabyte and 1 with sapphire vega 56 cards. Instead 9 miners each with 6x RX480 ( in total 54 cards ) there are just 5 miners now ( in total 20 cards ). Power consumption is roughly half, hashrate is just 2,5khash lower. Hello! 150w per card it show some powermeter or just some programm?

Out of interest, how much are people paying for their Vegas? Seems like 56 is $469 and 64 is $569 at the moment through Newegg. Anyone managed to get theirs cheaper?
I'm hoping for a price drop when the 1070TI lands and some custom non-reference cards to bring prices down.

I have a few rigs with more than 4 Vega 56 in them
No neighbours have died though.. sad..
What are you mining with those? Currently these are the stats for the 6 vega 56 card rig: ETH: 262MH/s @ 1150W, XMR: 10000H/s @ 1100W (probably I can go down to 1000W) These stats into whattomine --> ETH: $10.25/day, XMR: $11.67/day ($12.01/day @ 1000W) If 6 card HBCC were supported then $13.56/day @ 1000W Currently I'm staying on ETH, but considering change to XMR Eth + Dcr I don't know how you can get 262mh, my cards don't hit 40mh each, most hover around low 30s with default bios/settings. Though i have to profess I haven't had time to tweak much. More concerned about getting more machines up. Haven't look at XMR, but might explore once I clear my backlog and start tweaking. I'm more interested if we can migrate out from Windows to Linux as I can't get the nix drivers working after the 4th card, boots into Windows with 8 just fine Vega 64 bios mod. The best i can get with stock bios is 39MH/s. best i got is 43-44... Used to be 44mhs

would love to know how you are managing to run 8 Vegas on 1 x PSU. an only 1 Corsair RM1000 even.. Most of my rigs with 7/8 Vegas 56 are suffering from PSU issues and I have to power them with 2 x 1200/1000 or 1200/1600 etc etc. sure you can tweak the cards to lower voltage but i think the initial bump at the start makes them a tad bit unstable. Cheers

Also 700W seems like a normal consumption for 4 vegas, even a bit high if aiming for 150w per card.

Cheers That is two rigs, 4 Vegas each, I meant 8 in total, one with a Corsair RM1000i and the other one with a Corsair RM1000x. Sorry for my bad grammar. I regret not buying two 1000is because you can monitor them through TeamViewer with Corsair link. That is important for me because if softpowerplay doesn't work, 1000watts is not enough for 4 Vegas running at the higher power consumptions. My rigs are 60 miles away from my home due to lower electricity costs and lack of space. It is 700W from the wall with a 93% efficiency which means about 650 watts coming out of the PSU. It is not as efficienct as it can be at the moment (about 1950 H/s for each card) but I had to leave yesterday and had no time to play around.

i bought a new MSI vega56. it arrived today,so i set up and some tune on my test rig. first,i tried stock bios and softpowerplay, it set CORE 1400mhz MEM 950Mhz. probably,hit it around 1800H/s i guess, but it hit 1900H/s.(used block-chain-driver) i have no idea this situation. its legendly silicon? lol GPU-Z show MEM 950 actually. anyone have idea? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2FcLYHU17&t=665&c=Fn40Y8lohiwJ_w)
