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

[Jackkyy]

i use nanopool - Share difficulty is static and equal to 120000.

its small diff??

Should be ok.

But maybe not ok
because i have  10% rejected shares
when you update program
soon?
1-2 days?

I had a high value of rejected shares with nanopool as well
You could try another pool

Someone use the new release ?

Blockchain driver are not detected...

The driver only has the compute option for RX 4XX/5XX GPUs not the Vega series. Hope they put in the next version.

OK.
So stay with Beta ?

If you want to mine with your Vega with higher hash rates then 1200, yes.

Ok thanks.
Must i test all freq for RAM ?
I set at 1030 yesterday by misstake, and i stay at 1730, instead 1830 with 1025Mh for RAM.....

Anyone tried new AMD driver to see if it does more than 4 cards HBCC in compute mode?

[djdion]

Here is my problem

1. every time i close the miner WATTMAN always reset to default / crash wattman
2. every restart must toggle on / off HBCC to get real speed

- use ver 0.5 of cast AMD
- use blockchain driver aug 23
- use win 10

are you currently working on a Linux version?
If yes, could you tell us what hashrate we are looking at?
Does it go above 1900 range or does it stay 1200-300?

i wanna test the miner but

I swapped another card in my rig and now it won't do the 1900/1900 and settle on 1700/1700. It's happily doing about 1370/1970 instead. Restarted and reset the driver many many times. Really weird. It's basically stuck at the same combined hashrate as before, but I can't figure out why. Maybe the old motherboard is an issue. I can't change the pci express to v2 -- no bios option for that.

1020/1025 for mem clock seems to be a sweet spot, probably some resonating effect of memory and cpu clock.

The range between 1025 - 1050 seems not to be very effective.

Memory clocks at 1050 and above are more faster then 1025, but depends on the the card if it can handle it.

New update available:

Cast XMR Version 0.6 (2017/10/27)

  - improved queue sync which results in an 0.1% higher average hash rate
  - experimental support for Radeon RX 480 / RX 580 GPUs added
  - pessing 's' key prints the current statistics
  - count outdated and invalid shares separate
  - fixed random crash when quitting app
  - bugfix: invalid command line arguments did hang app

Download Cast XMR 0.6 for Windows (64bit)

Happy mining!

OK.
Never goes up above 1830...
(MSI Vega 64 @stock)

Just to reset the HBCC setting the first time to don't get artefact..

I will test 0.6

Does the pool require login? password? could be the issue

How do you get all 4 Vega cards to support HBCC?

HBCC only shows up for 1 card for me. Have the Blockchain drivers installed, 16gb ram, 60gb page file.

[Morgon]

16gb ram

It's my understanding that 16GB is not enough to drive HBCC in 4 GPUs, according to other threads I've read.

I have 32 GB in mine, but have not gotten around to setting up all four GPUs. I will do that sometime this weekend and try to report back.

[D8V1D]

Got it to work. Needed to disable Crossfire for HBCC to show on all 4 cards.

16 GB ram is working for 4 cards.

[Django69]

i have 4gb for 4 vega...

set your pagefile to 70go !

[carlo_0000]

set your pagefile to 70go !

really ? i had 4 giga ram for 2 vega but hbcc was disable (even if it show enable with no slider), my pagefile was at 16gigas, but when i put 8 of ram then it could be enable

yes it s pool with login & password (password is not important i think)

you don't need hbcc, just disable/enable gpu
