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

[StellarX88]

has anyone tried butchering jj's hashmonitor powershell script to monitor castxmr now that it has an API?

i would but my programming leaves a lot to be desired....

Interesting where i can find the topic?

This is the one that works by default with xmr-stak:

I got a problem. 1 gpu hashrate crashed to 0.
There are 2 problems with it
1) Total hashrate doesnt change - it shows hashrate for 3GPU not 2
2) It shows hasrate on the dropped GPU1 and zero hashrate on GPU2, but as you can see the temperature shows that it is wrong.


Hashrate reported via api is also the same.
So - restarting script doesn't work because hashrate pretends to be normal.

P.S. Is there any analog of nvidia-smi for AMD?

Hi guys
I have problem with my rigs. I have memory problem. I changed to 16384 to 16384 but still the same. How can i solve this problem? Please help.

I posted this on another thread and also helping some redditor, but you can try this:

I have modified the script slightly to work with 1 of my Vega card. You can modified it accordingly to fit your rig.

Download link below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2XFJ__I0jzLWlBZMTVCMWZDZ3YwRDZiRkh6cldKWnc1Wjlz

Some changes I made:

If you are executing the run_HashMonitor.cmd, make sure you change the file name in it accordingly to reflect CastXMR_HashMonitor_v2.6.ps1 (Or any name that you saved as).
Notable change I have made in this ps script includes:
Line 168 - 172 : I am using the script to call Cast-XMR directly, and Line 169 is the usual config including my wallet address, mining pool etc (the usual you put in a .bat) & also --remoteaccess in this case. Line 170 - 172 is to assign the localhost & port accordingly (7777)
Line 187: The main address for local/remote monitoring
Line 191 - 201: I didn't use $hdiff variable, but make a new variable for min Vega Hashrate before restart $global:vegahash @ line 201 (multiply by 1,000 since the reported value in the web is in actual hash rate)
Line 392 - 397 : Initial Vega hashrate for comparison (Not really needed since we have a reset trigger down below, but it's the same as the next)
Line 476 - 479 : Vega hashrate used for monitoring in order for restart.
Line 483 - 484 : Nothing major, just changing monitoring from 1 minute to every 30 secs
7: Line 486 : Most important part, condition to restart (Here to check my Vega hashrate against my preset target -> ~1.75kH/s @ Line 201)
This should set you up in the right direction to start with;
Do take note that I am running only 1 Vega to check against, hence I can use the total_hash_rate for comparison; if you are running multiple Vegas rig, you might need to divide it by number of GPU instances before you make the comparison. Alternatively is to loop through the "devices" in the hashrate report JSON to check if any of them drop, but I find total_hash_rate to be easier. You can also use total_hash_rate_avg in the report, as current total_hash_rate might be too sensitive for occasional dip.
And remember to change the CMDLine in Line 169, or else you would be mining to my wallet instead.
Let me know if you have any further question. I will try my best to help set up.

thanks! i'll get on this (probably next week)

Yes, working on it.  Hopefully over the weekend can get it running.

Stellar,

Thanks for this.  Will report on results soon.

Hello once again i trying to get my new rig workin with 3x vega 56 flashed to 64,   two of them without problems mining together , but last card even tho it was flashed right and reflashed black to retail and back to 64bios  everytime i start mining with it even if i dont use other 2x cards  teh screen start tearin and pc restarts eventually , the card works normaly on everything else than miming .. tryed it solo on another pc had the same problém just with mining could it be bricked ? it loads normally and all...

P.S. Is there any analog of nvidia-smi for AMD?

overdriventool can be called via command line to set clocks, volts, fans, etc, but can't query information.

Little confused. Does is it lock up on the 64 bios or stock 56? Or both?

Try mining with just the Stock 56 bios. If you've already tried that, flip the bios switch and try it with the other stock bios that is on the card.
I've had a few cards that just don't liked to be flashed to 64 AIOs

[rafise]

Hi All,
I am running a 6 x Gigabyte Vega 56 rig on following setup:
   - motherboard = Asrock H97 Anniversary
   - CPU = Intel G3258
   - Ram = 8gb
   - Windows10 Pro, Blockchain 23 aug drivers
   - stock bios, oc and uv with OverdriveNTool

Here is a picture of my settings:
http://i66.tinypic.com/semucz.png

I use Cast to mine ETN and I cannot manage to run all 6 cards.
I works like a charm with 5 cards, at avg. of 1950 h/s, and when I enable the 6th everything goes crazy - artifacts and freeze/restart.

I am running out of ideas, any thoughts how to make the 6th card work?
I was thinking of incompatibility issues between vega and my mobo, could that be the case?

Thanks in advance
Pericle.
  

Hello,

Check with your motherboard manufacturer and Bios some motherboard/bios does not work with more than 5 or 8 PCIE in use of the same brand video card. For example I'm using the Asus B250 MINING EXPERT the board have 19 PCIE slot and I only can run 8 AMD video card the rest should be NVIDIA. I was having the same issue as you.

I got it working all my cards now the struggle with computation  and outdated fails ?  how to get lower it ? i get around 20% away from those

It's sad. I need go query info, as it seems that it is the only way to make vega's work most of the time.

Guys, who get result with zero hash (0.0 H/s) in last or first card in rig

https://pp.userapi.com/c834204/v834204065/42ef6/X1idS_wuzHo.jpg

Just random shuffle order -G parameters

E.g. "-G 0,1,2,3,4" to "-G 4,3,0,1,2" or similar

It works to me with RX580 (4 or 5 in rig) (Windows 10, 64bit, AMD Blockchain driver)

compute fails are caused by overclock to high. Detune a little

Try two of your cards on the stock and 64 bios. I have 4 56s 2 Gigabyte and two Sapphire. They will run higher has with lower watts on stock bios verses the 64 bios. Flashing appears to me to be a waste of time and money. All the videos and reviews about performing better with a 64 bios were talking about gaming not mining. test it out for your self.

Getting SOCKET ERROR - Job Error: invalid target: 00000000
Any ideas?
Haven't set any parameters (apart from pool address, wallet and password)...


EDIT: trying on a bone stock Vega56

[Thekingace]

How and where can we use this command ?

cast_xmr --help

Once miner is running, how can I see stats such as active pool, averages, ...

Also I have a correct global hashrate but most of the lines are empty... Is this normal ??
