[Cast XMR] high speed XMR/CryptoNight miner for RX Vega GPUs (2 KHash/s)

[Parja1]

What sort of HBM temperatures should one be aiming at to be able to run memory frequencies above 930-940 on unmodded Vega 56?
I'm mining without crashes as long as I don't push higher than 925 on my 6x Vega56 rig.

Currently set as follows:

GPU_P7=1407;900
Mem_P3=925;900
Power_Target=0

HBM temperature is between 70 and 80C. My cards are stuck pretty close together on that D1800 board.

Result: 1900 H/s per card, stable.

Is there anything I can do to improve the above? Lowering the power target just ends up starving core freq and doesn't help increasing mem speed.

Any help appreciated!

Get em cooler. I believe HBM throttles at 70C.

So I have been able to get this running on my 11 4GB XFX RX 470s, I have one 6 card system and one 5 card system. On both I seem to get about 9% of my shares rejected because of "out of date job change". Is there no resolution to this? 9% is not a small amount either. This is well after 24 hours of straight mining. I get an 865 hash rate from each card 9% of that times 11 is over 870 H\s. In a sense I would be better off moving to a slower mining software with no fee or 100% accepted shares. Is there anyone that has this issue and has found a solution?

So was this the software just straight up stealing shares and reporting them as "lost because of job change" or is there a huge bug when the software switches to the donation pool to get its 2% cut? Either way this is an FYI to everyone be prepared to lose anywhere from 9% to 15% in shares because "Out of date job change" AND the dev fee of 2% this dev decided to include.

IMO fix your shares lost issue or remove the DEV fee.

I think stale shares are common with all miners/pools.  It's just that some miners (Claymore in particular) do a better job of hiding that information from the user.

You need to look at the hash rate reported by the pool.  If Cast were truly stealing shares you would see that 9% difference at the pool.  Better yet, try a pool that shows the actual hashes submitted and run a 24 hour test, that should tell you a lot.

My over all hash rate reported by the pool is lower then I would expect that's the reason I am looking into things more. I have tried MANY pools. Do you have an example of a better pool I can use for XMR or ETN?

[Dell1503]

First of all, thank you for you miner and the good Page with the Description for the Vega.
Actually Im Mining ETN wirh your software.
Now I got some issue, my somebody can help. I use on my rig for now just 2 Rx vega 64.
I got an extremly high rejected quote because of computing error, around 50% over 12h. I run on W10x64 with 12 GB of RAM and Default Clocks for MB and CPU. One GPU is lightly OC like posted.

VRAM ist set to 20Gb.
I used two pools, currently the official ETN pool.
Any idears what to check?

Hi
I'm running miningpoolhub.

One of miner asked that why cast xmr is not working on miningpoolhub.
I don't know why. Can you fix this issue?
Or do I have to tweak something? My pool already follows other stratum protocol smoothly.

Last time a tried cast-xmr it worked good with mph. But now I moved to sgminer so can't say about current situation.

Cast xmr .bat


Fix Difficulty how??

Somebody help.

Im buying VR set  for Christmas and if been wondering if the Games esp FAllout 4 VR will be able to run on Blockchain driver  , im sure there will be some issues with VR without proper graphioc drivers but i want to mine also , so If been thinking if i had 2x systems on separte SSDs i could have normal Gprahic drivers on 1 for gaming and on other SDD Blockchain drivers to mine would that work ?

I game on my vega pc with blockchain driver and it works fine.
However i've mostly been playing CS, Wow, League, PUBG.
No clue if i would get more FPS with an actual driver but probably yes.
I cant tell the difference with a 60hz monitor anyway.

Try Adrenaline Edition driver, just being released hours ago. It got switch between gaming and mining mode, but I'm not sure that Cast XMR can detect the change or not.

Please make Linux version!

[wolverine5pl]

Please make Linux version!

i guess lack of drivers stopping from miner for linux.
very bad from AMD not to release final version of blockchain drivers for windows and linux

[sypher9]

works fine on MiningPoolHub (MPH)

cast_xmr-vega -S us-east.cryptonight-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20580 -u username.worker -p x %*

use -O flag to set your GPU platform (0, 1, 2, for Intel, Nvidia, AMD; varies depending on which gpus you have installed. I have all 3 in my computer, and use -O2)
use -G flag to set your GPU device (exemple: -G0,1 0,1,2,3,4,5,6, etc)

Its integrated into the new drivers now.

it is free and opensource. the same speed for vega64 and little bit slower than cast-xmr for vega56

[th00ber]

Adrenaline Edition driver are ok for Vega mining or do we have to stick with blockchain driver ?

[MickDaster]

oh the newest AMD driver actually reduced the hash rate instead of increasing it, what happen?

Still no Compute toggle for RX Vega 64 here.

 No point at this time since AMD still has ZERO working drivers for Vega on LINUX.

You mean blockchain is integrated into the latest Radeon Production GA Release?
