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

[STT]

I've used the latest 17.11.4 Optional vega drivers on a machine and its main advantage is allowing the higher then 1107 memory speed and the 1200 SOC clock but its also less stable then the old August compute based drivers.   Its mostly designed to further game performance, fix some game bugs nothing much has changed otherwise.   Its worth a try if you havent got the results you wanted and/or are going to reinstall drivers anyway but nothing dramatic enough to alter a good working hash rate setup.

Hello ,
I have this problem, after some hours of mining, cast xmr stop submitting share but doesn't crash,
to restart it  just close it and open it again but 3 or 4 hours later the problem is still here

Hi, it´s always the same gpu?

So does Cast XMR work at full speed with those drivers? I was of the impression that it still only worked with the blockchain drivers.

Hi i m getting 6200hs on my mixed rig, however i m getting alot 0.0hs lines in the miner...
Who can help me solve this?

does someones has the --help working?

thnx

exact same amd mixed rig windows 10 fresh blockchain fresh miner fresh

[wolverine5pl]

For some reason I get more constant hashrate on electronum pools with normal xmr miner. this one is up and down. any idea why
another issue I have
I start miner and after a while 10-20min hashrate drops from 2k to 1.7k on vega 64. any clue why?

No, tried with lastest AMD driver.

The latest AMD drivers allow for a 'compute mode' swicth, which is equivalent to the blockchain driver. Sadly this miner seems to be a bit silly and refuses to work in optimized mode unless the driver is the blockchain beta.

In non -optimized mode, i'm getting 1200 - 1300 h/s with my Vega with Claymore. ~1000 h/s with Cast

Can anyone explain how to setup a failover pool properly ?
thanks !

If you are mixing RX 480 or RX 580 with RX Vega, the 0.0hs lines are weird, but check your total hash rate.  The total rate may be fine on your end and pool side.

try xmr-stak, it doesn't check driver version ))

i got same hashrate as i had with previous version. 1800H/s for Vega 56

[Permonik]

i got same hashrate as i had with previous version. 1800H/s for Vega 56

Which version? You mean miner version or drivers version?

Im using v7, August blockchain driver and i got 1800H/s. nothing has been improved at least in my case.

Help me please

So, as I am asking, is it always the same gpu which start submiting 0hs?

[drogasi]

yes, but the miner works for hours and then it stops for no reason

Hmm, there must be something wrong.
Try to switch gpus between them. If there will be a problem on the same gpu index or not. If it, so it will be a riser problem. Otherwise, it will be the gpu itself...

Also make sure power is clean. I was having random fails (0h/s) until one day I was monitoring the rig very closely and noticed that my UPS was switching modes due to a peak in power usage. I tested it by plugging in directly to the wall socket and I had no issues for an entire week.  Since running without protection is not good; instead of the UPS now I am running with a heavy duty surge suppressor and no issues at all. I am still looking for a good affordable UPS that can do at least 1000W continuously.

Update: these are the rates I am getting

[14:59:55] GPU1 | 38°C | Fan 3236 RPM | 1947.3 H/s
[14:59:55] GPU2 | 45°C | Fan 3267 RPM | 1938.3 H/s
[14:59:55] GPU3 | 49°C | Fan 3271 RPM | 1939.9 H/s
[14:59:55] GPU0 | 39°C | Fan 2344 RPM | 777.6 H/s

GPUs 1,2 and 3 are Vega 56 and 0 is a RX580

[tf2addict]

Can Cast use config files?  That is a critical feature for use with managers such as Awesome Miner.  Having to pass the pool and other info in via the command line directly from the manager complicates configuration from the manager side of things.

Also, please add pool failovers.

Hi guys !
Can you please tell me if the miner is working in Windows 7?
Or only in Windows 8/10?

I have Windows 7 (64), video card RX 580 8Gb
Without driver installation AMD Blockchain Compute Driver - 600 H/s.
After installation AMD Blockchain Compute Driver -

After the launch, it just stops working
