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

[glph3k]

Hi,

an update is available.

Regards,
glph3k

Cast XMR Version 1.3.0 (2018/6/29)

- Performance improvement for job switches with multiple GPUs
- Support for BitTube (TUBE) V4 Pow Update which introduces the new algo CryptoNightTUBE-Heavy aka CN Saber.
  Stay on --algo=5 to switch automatically from CryptoNightIPBC-Lite to CryptoNightTUBE-Heavy when the update is happening (approx. 2nd July).
  Please note that the hash rate will drop as it is a switch from a Lite to a Heavy variant.

I ve been running the older versions very stable on both my rigs.
mining Haven and RYO, now my rigs are getting stuck after some hours.

someone had this problem and have a solution?

thnx

Have you changed clock/voltage settings lately?  My mining window would freeze periodically, sometimes within a couple hours, sometimes a couple of days.  I originally blamed Windows, but after some trial and error, discovered I’d reduced GPU voltage a little too much and after giving my cards more juice, rig has been running solid for over a week now.

I agree -- check your Mem voltage to make sure it wasn't reset lower and you didn't notice.

I have 2 vega on windows 10 64bit 8GB RAM castxmr 1.2.5 , I get 6000H/s on graft enabling hbcc, I insert other vega in rig and now  I can not reach anymore 3000H/s on  a single card.

How to fix?

isn't Graft v7?  You should only be getting around 2000 hash per vega.

I get 3000 not 2000.

Enable hbcc

I get 6000 with two vega...

It is a hbcc trick .

Now I insert a new vega and not working anymore I remove and now I have only two but I reach only 1800.

I need to delete any registry? Or I need to reinstall windows?

Dont know,
you are the only one to get 3000h/s on a single Vega, no else has got that much.
Please tell us how to do it,
hbcc doesnt do anything for the rest of.
Maybe you are special,
maybe you made a mistake?

Yeah man, just reinstall windows everything will work out just fine...

Hi glph3k,

Im using the 110 version of your miner. This is very stable , after this version i have some hangs.

When i start up the miner, it show me an rx560 on gpu9.

I have one connected but is mining using claymore.

Analysing the Hashes is working like an rx580. So is fine i think. What could this be? error in enumerating the devices? i only discover this today, maybe im mining in this way for weeks.

Im using last 18.6.1 drivers, but wiht 18.5.x i got the same problem!

I also have problems with versions later than 1.1, after that it only starts 2 of my 5 cards.

And I also think its related to enumerating, as im running a dual CPU board and the 3 cards that dont start have negative IDs.

i want to see a video of 3k/vega on cryptonight v7
from my knowledge its not possible even if you overclock the vega till it burns

Provide screen shots please. Else... you lie.

He's not lying he's just stupid.  It is an old visual bug that doesn't show any benefit pool side.

Been using  the latest version  since the last 2 days, because of bittube fork.

Config: 3X RX570 4GB, display GPU has a CN v7 kind of bios, the others have an ETH bios.
win 10 X64 build 1803, latest AMD driver (18.6.1)
Display GPU intensity: 3 (I use the PC while mining), other GPUs: 6
330W at the wall
1920H/s for bittube CN heavy variation.

Hi everybody,

I just want to give a small headsup to everyone using this miner (on Vega rigs, but probably the issue is more wide-spread)

Pay good attention to miner reported hashrate and actual hashes counted by the pool. I have encountered issue with SRBminer and CAST XMR where a miner reports 2KH/s per vega, or 12KH/s for 6x vega rig, but pool effective hashrate can be up to 20% lower. This issue is not existing on STAK miner, where the hashes (averaged over several days, not talking about instant hashrate!) are counted correct, so STAK even with crappy hashrate is having better performance than CAST or SRB. After several days, 2 identical miners can have big difference in total hashes, which went to almost 20% on my best and worst miner.

Right now I am testing another closed-source miner and it seems to count the hashes correctly.

Please don't start to explain to me about hashrate fluctuations and similar crap, I am not using this miner for different reasons so for this one I don't have screenshots and proofs - consider this just a heads up, ,  not to get blinded by miner hashrate, but pay attention what to pool reports, as it is not miner that pays you.

I am not starting to explain any crap, do not worry.  
I do not know what pools you use, but if you are short of 20%, change pools. That is it.

I have been using Cast for over 7 months and one thing is, on good pools, it almost always get me the same if not better hash rate that I get on the miner, except for a few pools.
The good ones that I have found so far and give me the right hash rate or few % better: Nanopool, MinersRock, Cryptonight.cc .

Hashvault,Bhoemian pool or Fairpool or other crap pools that have 0,1% fees only, which I have used for Sumo or ETN in the past, they always came short of 15/20%.

Everything works fine for me.  Actually my pool reported hashrate is always higher than my miner reported rate.  Good luck narrowing down your problems.

Wow thanks for making your 31st post on this forum, about this particular topic. You are so wise, and I have to ask myself, how after all this time you might be the first person to ever think about this. You are so smart please continue to share your huge and super deep ideas about mining here, so helpful really.

Thanks for exposing this, as what would we do without totally freaking noobs like you??!?!?

I cannot get any version past 1.0.0 to work without crashing.  I was hoping to try some of the new coins but I'm back to monero.  I see in other posts that many are having similar issues.  Has anyone been able to get 1.2.0 or later versions working?
