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

[GordoLui]

I have two 3-card vega 56 rigs. All cards are the sapphire ones. Short side story, bought these 14 days ago from newegg for $520 and today I see that they are going for $420 on their eBay site and $470 on their main site. So I call them up to see if they do a price match but they would only do 50% of the $470, telling me some bogus bullcrap that they can only do 50% of the $470 price. So just warning yall when dealing with newegg.

Anyways I been reading up on this thread, the one from reddit, and the other vega thread. Using the latest cast XMR is giving me around 5650  hashrate total for my 3 cards(vs 5500 on XMRstak), on both my rigs. Im getting around 590w of power for each rig which puts my cards at around 170w. This is all on stock everything with me only using the settings recommended for wattman (hbm on, intensity -4%, core 950-905, fan 3000-4900, PL -20%). And so far 0 rejected shares on both rigs mining for at least an hour on the new version.

So overall im pretty happy but i'm wondering if i can push there cards to 2050? I think I read I have to put the memclock to at least 1050 which i know most if not all my cards cant do. I would also like to shave off some power which I think should be doable with a little work. I haven't messed with the cards bios but doesnt seem to be all that difficult to do.

i have 4gb for 4 vega...

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

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

HBCC must be disable on Vega 64 ?
I thought it was necessary

Not sure if 2050 is possible per card, atm i have my memory at 1148 and got like 2004/2005 hashrate.

Which reg mod are you using? The one from reddit monero guide?

Also on my card i had to change soc to 1200 to be able to overclock memory higher than 1100.

how to overclock the memory above 1100?

Is that with 56 or 64?

With 56 with the 110@900mv it didn't hit 2k for me, was more like 1970ish. And with the soc overclock i can even run 1148 at 885mv instead of 900.

With more than 200Watt you can reach more than 2000H/s.
With 1408-1100@905mV my V56 can mine 1970H/s with 165 Watt

1x Vega56 Powercolor. Runs about 1850 on XMR-stak.

Yeah i'm running at 1408-1148@905mv (with 885mv on memory instead of 900) so the power usage should be around the same i guess?

Waiting for my killawatt

With fingers crossed: Yes

[oomurashin]

new version also working stable. thank you!

[alucard20724]

can you make a version that will allow the use of 17.10.3 drivers since in supports compute mode?

I'm not using any mods or doing any sort of reg edits. I haven't messed around with anything aside from wattman. The guide on reddit says turn mem to 950 on wattman but my pc crashes when i run any miner at 950. Only one or two of my cards can handle mem 950. The others i have to set between 925-905. Those cards still hashing at least around 1850mh/s. That's why I don't think I can go much higher since the memory is already struggling at above 920. But I think the power might be able to be reduced to achieve the same hashrate.

And I can confirm that this latest version of cast is not only stable but also has a very low share of rejects that im seeing. I left them overnight and both my systems are hashing at a steady 5650mh/s rate with over 1700 shares accepted and only 3 and 5 shares rejected. I'll try to leave them on longer for this time.

i have 4gb for 4 vega...

set your pagefile to 70go !

This.  More physical RAM seems completely unnecessary, just don't cheap out with 60GB ssds, and set 50+GB pagefile.  I tested with 8GBx2 vs 4GB, don't see difference, and can do 4 GPUs either way.

4 Gb Ram is enough for a Vega mining rig, you just have to set 8Gb of Virtual memory for every Vega so for ex. if you have 6 Vega then 6x8Gb = 48 Gb min pagefile for your rig. To achieve max hashrate for all Vega's just go to Device Manager in Windows and disable, wait 10 sec, then enable each Vega and you will have all working at max hash rate. HBCC is not important, seems to be a bug in AMD drivers at every Windows loading.

What is your HBM temp in GPU-Z?  HBM is less stable at higher temps.  Mine are fine mostly 950, some 930, HBM temp 58-60C.  I hear above 70C is unstable for OC.

thanks for the tip
i will remove my 8giga and put the 4 back later and try  

over tip to replace wattman maybe ? new version of afterburner or so ?
because each time i reboot i lost my setting and i also wanna move my computer without screen pluged
