Any word on amd vega hash rates?

I gave a try to Hellae's guide and mods yesterday. I can verify that all worked out pretty well (thanks to the good silicon I got I guess). But something bothers me ...

They are 2x 64 + 56 - all at 1408/1100 with his mod's voltages (think 905).

1) GPU-Z is showing 1V on all 3.
2) The things are damn hot. The full other rig I have, using these settings (but modded at 1220 GPU and then set to 1407 with overdriventool) are running 47-55 with up to 2800rpm. The 3 fresh cards are at 62-65 with 3200 RPM ....
3) Power usage is around 670-690W on the 3 card system. I kinda expected a bit better , its nowhere near the advertized values it seems.

Any idea what am I doing wrong here? What can be done to fix the issue? One of the 64s was running alone with the oldcomer's mod with overdrive tweaks at under 50C for a week on top of my desktop ... Now where did that 15C temp increase came from?

I've had the same bug. Try to set P7 in overdriveNtool to 910mV (or 920, 930). This change lowered the voltage and the consumption for me.

This is very weird, I have not tried this with the overdriventool yet, but when setting the voltage at wattman at "manual" I suddenly started to get 50W less usage.
Sadly, after a restart - there was no way to reproduce this.

I am installing three more cards today/tomorrow, so I hope I manage to find a way to fix this. Especially the heat.

As I have no xp with 56er except this one - are they hotter than the 64s in general, or they should have same temps?

Currently using a Z170A MSI M5 board. Guess it's back to MC to try a Z270 board.

I used the Z170A M5 for my two linux/470/570 rigs. Works flawlessly. But for VEGA was reading it's really finniky with boards. So I broke down and bought the slitghty more expensive (even more so on Amazon) Asrock H110 Pro+ board. I only need 4 of the 13 slots, but people reporting good results for Vega (even though the reviews people complain about it a lot).

Yes I have several of the M5's and they work amazing for 8 570s.

Thank you for this. It's available same day shipping for me. It'll be here this afternoon.

In the meantime I grabbed THREE different boards from MC to try them out as well.

How are you getting on with the new boards, dude?
Expecting my Onda D1800 any day now, can't wait to start inflicting myself the pain of trying to get 6 Vegas to hash...

Each of the 3 have their own problems not allowing them to work correctly. My "same day shipping" order from Amazon never arrived

Oh man.
That's a major pain in the @ss. If the Vega's work on the Onda mobo I'll definitely let you know.
I've got all the parts for the rig except said mobo and an extension lead so I reckon I'll be ready to crack on some time next week.

How much XMR should bring GPU?

A single rx vega 56/64 can pull about 2000 hashes/second at about 150W if that's what you mean.

How many XMR?

It depends ))

You are a masochist   

The blockchain driver is really resource hungry @ 8 cards. It,s going to take ages getting anythi g done on that rig with its subpar cpu....

I was wondering has anyone tried out the vega frontier edition yet. do the guides to get it running to around 1900 h/s work on the FE edition as well? I was going to build a rig for rendering animations as well, and I wanted to know if I should go with the Frontier or 56/64 way. I know about all of the guides and setups to make the 64 work to 1900 h/s and was wondering if these will work (including that blockchain driver) for the FE as well.

I have had 1 Vega Frontier running on a Z170 board, I have 2 others but disabling and re-enabling fails to re-enable the other 2 although I managed to get 2 running once both at max speed.

I have now had one VF running for 2 weeks solid with xmr-stak-amd, average 2106H/s peak 2500+ mining electroneum (2 threads 2016)

blockchain driver, when it was running 2 cards was following a clean install on a reinstalled windows (using windows repair feature)

Mind to share your full config for FE? Driver, Power play table if using any, and stak config? All my tests ended up in a max of 1400 H/s although I keep seeing reports od 2500 H/s

Any time I add 6th GPU to a ASROCK Z270 Killer/SLI, windows BSOD.   +4g, -audio, -wifi, -serial, -pptp... Not enough PCI lanes I guess.   I even tried to shut down unused usb ports.
 
Going to try PCI-e switch, and also M2/riser to see if I can bogart those pci lanes.

Board finally showed up. Somehow plugging in my SSD into it killed the SSD. Using a slow ass spinning rust drive and now the machine bluescreens whenever I tell it to disable crossfire. Gonna do a clean install tonight..

I had some weird bluescreens disabling GPU's.  I think i fixed it by resetting the GPU's in wattman and manually tweaking them first.

quite simple really, vega fe in x16 slot, nothing tweaked, disable then re-enable (also using mining settings for GB-z170-ud5 mobo bios)

afterburner core 1646 mem 1102 custom fan profile to kick in around 47, temp 65 ish power 50

xmr-stak-amd, two threads of 2016 , I would set it higher but not sure what values to use

windows manages virtual ram but I have 64GB fast ram

just checked my new high score is 2601h/s peak, average 2106h/s (these are reflected at hashparty pool)

with a clean windows repair install which deletes all drivers I managed to get 2 cards running at full speed but once I started fiddling I couldn't get the second card working

I don't mess with card settings on driver, could possibly go higher but I'm looking for stability while mining ETN

Thanks! But you're using the blockchain driver for Frontier, right? That one is a pro driver without wattman access.
I'll do some work based on your input. Will let you know if I find something else.

Hi,

I am a total noob with 4 Vega64 cards and currently running claymores_cryptonight using the nicehash pool. I don't know how to improve my hash rate and I am not sure if I can use the xmr-stak-amd with the nicehash pool. I don't know if it's trustworthy or safe to use other pools right now as I am new. I would appreciate any guidance on what to do with the rig I have. Right now I am @1690 H/s using claymores.

Is there anyway to go up from here?

Thanks!

hello mate. first read the whole topic it has many tips inside... i'm using cast-xmr and it rocks !! 2050 h/s (56's oem bios 225w each card) you can follow developer's guide. google cast-xmr and read the bitcoin talk topic.

So I successfully applied the new pp_table... but after executing my mining processes, it cant use the new clocks. Its always sclk #0 and mclk #1

Errors in dmesg are...

[ 960.778779] amdgpu: [powerplay] Cannot find requested DCEFCLK!
[ 961.172699] amdgpu: [powerplay] Cannot find requested DCEFCLK!

Take a look at this link. Undervolting by editing the driver source code might work with Vega as well. https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/linux-graphics-x-org-drivers/amd-linux/918649-underclocking-undervolting-the-rx-470-with-amdgpu-pro-success

For those of you that have Vega hashing at a high rate can I ask what Motherboard and CPU combo you are running?

I have tried two different motherboards (TB250-BTC, Asus Z270-P) and have not managed to get more than 1350 H/s.
Both motherboards I have tried were running Kabylake CPUs (G3950, G4560).

Thinking of trying out a Skylake processor in case there is an issue with Kabylake and Vega.

Thanks
