I'm use two PSU in my rig an Thermaltek 700W (2x rx580 + 1x vega 56) and EVGA 700W (3x vega 56) total = 2x rx580 + 4x vega56 (6 cards) and works fine.

[dragonmike]

My 6x Vega 56 rig on Onda D1800 finally works like a charm.
Averaging 1940 h/s per GPU so just over 11600 in total, for 1350W at the wall.

For the records, that's better than my two 7x RX570 rigs combined (11200 h/s for 1650W), without any single bios, SOC or soft power play mods.

Those bloody Vegas really are good.

I only wish CastXMR would allow you to set failovers...

Those numbers are pretty bad tbh.. You might want to modify/tweak your cards a bit more. This guy on youtube is getting 15.5kh/s using  only 1400W.

They're stock numbers. I haven't modded anything.
I don't know if there would be much to gain from going through the trouble of flashing all cards to 64's, playing around with soc and soft power play tables just to gain a few hashes. Now I could probably do with a little less power to the GPU cores, that would surely help consumption-wise...

[jmigdlc99]

Hey guys, some vega 64s came up for sale at my local market.

You think I should buy some of these considering their more expensive and more power hungry compared to the vega 56?
Isn't the vega 56 a clear winner, if not how does one justify buying a vega 64?

That's an okay PSU, but why wouldn't you go with:

DPS-2500BB

with a breakout board from:  http://www.price-technology.com/

Better all the way around.  * You do need either 240v outlet OR a step-up transformer.

Really?  You are consistently doing better?  What's your at-the-wall power draw?  Or, you have no idea you are just pointing to a YouTube video.

OMG, I just watched the first part of this video.  Each Vega 64 is getting around 1921, 1928, 1931 in other words, BELOW 1940 per card.

Well considering how he's consuming around the same wattage with 2 extra cards.. Yes I would consider that pretty bad. He's getting 11 hashes per watt while OP
is getting 8.6 hashes per watt. That's a massive difference... Maybe you should invest some time into learning how to flash the cards/mod them. Well worth it in my opinion.
He even mentions he is running the memory at 1050Mhz. He has shown videos of his cards running at 2020+ before... Why are you so upset anyways lol?? Just pointing
it out so he could see potential gains in performance/efficiency.

P.S I own a few cards (4 vega 64s hashing 8.04Kh/s @ 715W) that I registry moded and I can asure you it's a night and day difference. The cards draw much less power and remain cool far better.

No, I know you're right. I could tweak my setup quite a bit I'm sure. I'll be honest, I wanted to get mining asap with this rig, because my time is very limited. If I had started playing around with flashing and modding, I reckon the rig would still be offline today because I would have hit trouble on the way without the time to fix it.

I know my setup isn't as efficient as it should be right now, but at least I've been mining full speed for over 48 hours with that new rig.

Has anyone found a solution how to use Vegas in the same system with Nvidia cards ?

Nvidia driver keeps tripping up the vegas after some time droping their hashrate to 1600h. Cant seem to find a solution....

well what I have done - just restart the rig every six hours,  yeah it brute, but for it solved the problem
now I have working vega with NVcard in one rig

so maybe this brute solution will serve you as well

Finally got around to configuring a script to restart cards, apply profiles and launch miner.

Curious, if anyone is copying/making a shortcut of this script into startup folder for reset purposes or are y'all just remoting in on restarts and running the script.

I guess I don't see a reason why I couldn't throw the script into the startup folder?

but I wonder how much a user can earn from a single miner?

you don't need to mod anything, use Cast XMR with little tweaks recommended out there and you can get 2000H/s at 160W power consumption without touching your Vega 56 bios -you don't need to-

and yet without 50 g here is not clear. Lol. I think that I'm in vain to undertake a case about which I know practically nothing. But I think that it will be very costly to work as a Miner, And for technical issues, pay someone else.

Gandalph3000 cryptoNight guide, and Cast XMR.

Just a tip, never use HBCC toggle in AMD Wattman, just enable and disable the Vega GPUs in the Device Manager in Windows if you need to restart them 'cos of a hashrate drop.

Also http://vega.miningguides.com/ is great to learn how to disable Crossfire and set virtual memory in Windows, large pagefiles, etc.

Some additional AMAZING tips:

Step 1: Configure BIOS Settings
Before we even get to Windows, make sure your mining computer’s BIOS settings are in order. Power on your computer, and press the “delete” key a few times immediately after power on. You should end up in the BIOS configuration area. Do the following, then save & exit:
Change power options so that the computer automatically turns itself on whenever power is restored. The reason for this is two-fold: first, it’ll make sure that your miner automatically starts up after a power outage. Second, it makes powering the computer on much easier if you don’t happen to have a power switch connected to the motherboard.
Disable all components that you don’t plan to use. This might save a little bit of power, and since your miner will likely be running 24/7, it’ll add up. For me, that meant disabling onboard audio, the USB 3.0 ports, one of the SATA controllers, the Firewire port, and the serial port.
If you’re running a lot of GPUs (4+), additional tweaks might be necessary to ensure that they’re all recognized by the OS. Exact tweaks vary by motherboard, but setting the PCIe speed to Gen1 is usually a good place to start. No need to change anything now, but make a mental note that you may need to come back and play around a bit if all of your GPUs don’t show up in the OS later.

Step 3: Configure automatic login
If you’re building a dedicated mining rig, then you probably want your mining rig to boot up and start mining automatically, without any user intervention. We’ll need to enable auto-login for that to be possible.
Right-click on the Start Menu and select “Run”. Type “netplwiz” (without the quotes) at the prompt, and click “ok”.
Uncheck the box that says “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer”.
Click “Apply”. You’ll be prompted to enter your password to confirm the change.

Step 11: Configure your miner to start automatically
We want our rig to automatically start mining whenever it’s powered on or rebooted. That way, we keep mining losses to a minimum whenever a power outage occurs, and we don’t have to worry about manually starting it back up in other situations.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder where you created “mine.bat” in the previous step.
Right-click on your mine.bat file, and pick “Copy”.
Now, navigate to %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup (should be something like C:\Users\[YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup).
Right-click anywhere on the empty background of the Startup folder and select “Paste shortcut”.
You should see a shortcut to your mine.bat file appear in the startup folder. Windows should automatically execute it upon bootup.

I've a strange Problem now...was running 2 Vega56@64 Air Bios but was unable to get them stable so i was running with Bios Switch in Position 2(Should still be 56 Bios also if 64 is on Position 1 right?) at 3700H/s with CastXmr

Now i flashed both back to original 56 Bios and iam able to get ~1970H/s with both Cards if just 1 Card is plugged. If i plug in the second Card and start the miner i get much artefacts and the pc crashes. Ive an old Z77Pro 3 Board with 2 PCI-E Slots and it seems that its always the Card in 2nd Slot which crashes the System. Any ideas why its crashing now and not before with Bios Position 2?

Gents, I'm having a problem adding a second PSU to run card #5(and eventually 5-8). I have 4 64s powered by a corsair 1200i, getting 8k hashes total. I'm using an add2PSU to connect two corsair 1200s. Whenever I add my 5th card using my secondary PSU, it goes unrecognized in windows. The 'Radeon' lights up, but there is no red light near the power cables.

To troubleshoot, I changed all connections to my second PSU so it acts as primary and it powers 4 cards fine. I've also added 5 cards to each PSU and they all hash fine - however it's far too close to the max watts. One time I switched two cards to the secondary psu - one card had all red lights on, the other just a green light but neither were recognized. The fans don't spin.

The problem lies with trying to get any cards in attached to the secondary psu to be recognized in windows. I'm using s Biostar Tb-250 pro. Anyone have any suggestions?

You have to DDU and reinstall drivers every time you add a new card (:

[Steverin06]

Does that only apply to when you add a new card off another PSU? Because I was able to get all 5 going on a single PSU plug and play, and adding the 5th on cast amd config.

Edit: just ran ddu in safe mode, reinstalled block chain drivers and the result is the same. Any cards attached to second PSU don't show up in windows. Tried a different SATA cable. I know they're getting power because the fans were spinning when reinstalling drivers.
