Any word on amd vega hash rates?

Hi Guys,

What is your bios configuration for Asus Z270-A Prime ?

I have an issue only 2 of my cards are showing. Need help for that.

Thx in advance

This mobo is very tricky. Do some tetris plug in plug out, try different combinations. Also is very important to have the latest BIOS, to have 4G enabled and have PCH, PCIe and PCI Express 16 slot to be put in GEN2. Just these three settings.

Of course. I expect Your next move to be fixing another car on top of Your car so You can drive 10 persons.

Please at least attempt to contribute to the conversation. 

Attempt was in the way of comparing with things You can easy understand. Because You have no clue about Ohm's law...

Thx for the tips but I only get 3 cards working, sometimes 4 but not all the time... It's very strange.

Thx

Damn it, they are impossible to get here in the US for a reasonable price

I'm selling 2x Vega 64 and a Vega frontier edition for 2000 USD here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2515690.new#new

man when will there be significant inventory of Vega's. I have 4 lonely PCIE slots on my new build

I do not want to pay more than 450 for a 56, but who knows.

You will need to buy secondhand, theres been a rise in DDR pricing and memory in general is not cheap.   HBM hasnt seen enough sales for it to come down from mass production advantages, it might in time but I dont see this anytime around new year.
Vega was always slightly iffy in terms of up front cost vs profitability, maybe just go the 580 route especially if there is more bargains.  They are still making Rx580 but the Vega produciton by AMD is ceased now, they make Vega chips and there will be 3rd party cards but I dont know about a super basic cheap version that people might be looking for.

I agree the Vega 56 and Vega 64 should be about 400 to 450 and 500 to 550 for simple air cooling.  Next summer will be Nvidia Volta which puts (more) pressure onto Vega to compete, I guess a cheaper solution will be possible then.
The reason Vega costs more now maybe apart from specialist parts is that its tied to Freesync monitors, general consumers will buy AMD products to pair up with this technology.    Generally AMD is not over producing, they are selling Vega to Apple also and chip production for a new Xbox is under way recently as well, I dont see any spare capacity to produce apparent especially.

You should increase the Vritual Memory 16GB per GPU so you have 4 you should have 64GB of VRAM

Does anyone pass over the 2100Hs with Vega frontier?
As the Vega 56 & 64 are getting rare and frontier price is low, I'm looking over it.
Does anyone try a rig with several Vega frontier?

I played with my ... nothing crazy to announce yet.

Ok thx, I guess the alto such as xmr-stak are note optimized for the extra HBM memory..

First time I've got stuck in a while. Looking for suggestions.

Started a new build.
Ryzen 5
ROG Strix B350-F Gaming
1000 watt ps
16g ram

Right now it just has a 56 and a 64 in it. They're on risers. I can boot and post with each one individually on their own risers but not together. When attempting to boot together I can't even make it to Bios and I have no activity lights on the card. The cards do turn on and fans spin.

Bios is updated to latest version. One thing I noticed is I can't flash it to previous versions. In the Bios, for the life of me I can't find 4g or pci-e gen's. But even without those settings, I'd expect to post with two cards.
Power Supply? Bad Motherboard? Something super simple?

Just tried to mod the Vegas'soft power play table using a given registry on Hellae's Vega post I think. Unfortunately it didn't work: Windows boots but the display is completely garbled and ends up re-booting.

Now I'm stuck in that loop. I'd love to be able to force a boot into safe mode and run DDU but looks like Windows 10 is not allowing that anymore. If you have any ideas (short of me having to reinstall Windows alltogether), fire away.

Windows re-install isn't the end of the world.
You could try booting with another gpu or igpu and then delete the table out of your registry
May try flipping the bios switch on the card and see if somehow that gets you around it.

I followed instructions from here: https://youtu.be/DR-FkpU2KfI

Windows re-install takes a lot of time. Especially if one has to then also wait for all updates (incl 1709 fall creator's update). We're talking hours there unfortunately.
The funny thing is, the Onda D1800 does not have an iGPU but Windows still detects one and refers to it in the registry (which is what I think fukced up my soft play reg mods). Go figure.
I'll try flipping the bios switch on the cards. If that fails I'll have to re-install the damn thing. Again.

2124 and yes but usual challenges, afterburner doesn't work for voltages but overdriventool does, I have had 2 going full speed, can't get the 3rd going full speed but probably my set up. I don't have much time for tweaking

Take out vega cards, insert some other (nvidia?) card, boot and kill all registry entries about vega ))

I'll recommend using image with current updates. 15 minutes to reinstall with all current updates and automatic updates disabled as free bonus in my case.

Does anyone have overheating problems with RX Vega 64? Mine keeps exceeding 85°C and crashes whole rig. I have 2x Radeon version of graphic card and both have problems with overheating.

I raised vent speed to almost 100% and lowered power usage, lowered max temp. still the same. Card for that much money shoudn't have so basic problems...
