Will xmr miner have support to amd 560 cards?

I wonder what I am doing wrong. Optimized version of stak-amd is getting around 5670 hashes (3 vega 64s @ around 215 watts per card).
CAST_XMR ist at around 5680 hashes [Hash Rate Avg: 5685.2 H/s]. That makes a difference of about 10 hashes on avg.

Any settings you can recommend so I can get more out of my vega 64s?

Did you read through this thread?

Also - standard response -

I encourage you to read through the following threads/guides:
Vega thread  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2002025.0
Cast thread   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2256917.0

Sure...because everybody has the time to read all these posts again!
Thanks for nothing anyway.

Thanks for nothing?  He gave you all the information you need you ungrateful piece of crap. Do some reading and figure it out.

Hello I´m trying to get new rig runing. My 3x vega cards on main PSU are woking fine but whenever i try to run the cards which are supplied by second psu  it runs for  sec and then the second psu and the cards supplied by it shuts down. My main PSu is Evga gold 1000GQ  My second PSu is same brand  but 700w - Evga gold 700GQ which i use to power 4th and 5th card and  their risers(tried to power risers from main psu had the same effect) I can mine on 4th or 5th  vega when launched without the cards on main psu

Is it a PSU problem  ? i also have just 4gb ram but i have enough paging file memory on ssd

This is not the correct forum for this question

What are you using to combine the 2 PSU's? Add2PSU? Some cable?

The secondary power supply should only be used to supply power to the remaining Vega's 8 pin connectors only. You can run other peripherals if you want but use the main power supply as much as possible. It's recommended to power the risers from the same psu that supplies power to motherboard.

Your issues sounds like your power supplies are not synced correctly. That means a faulty cable or whatever device you are using to combine the power supplies.

Is there a fix network error recovery?

Hi all again!

Anyone using Cast to mine SUMOKOIN?

I mined SUMO for several days at different times at several pools and although Cast is working flawlessly, delivering the same exact hashrate as with other Cryptonight coins, the results at the pools are subpar. I would say that at the pools the "calculated hashrate", averaging 24 hours of effective mining, is around 15/20% less of the hashrate "reported" by the miner.
Normally when I mine XMR, ETN or NiceHash, averaging on 24 hours I get a "calculated hash rate" that is within 2 to 5% of the "reported" one, most of the times in excess.
For SUMO I have used Hashvault Pool, FairPool and Bohemian Pool and all of them gave similar subpar results.
I understand that difficulty in SUMO fluctuate a lot and get very high several times a day, screwing up the daily payout.
I am just wondering what are other people experience.

Hi folks,

Anyidea if one day could work on 550 or 560 cards?

what cables are you using? I experienced a similar problem trying to connect a couple of Vegas to a 750W PSU which only had 3 8 pin PCIe connectors, so I had to use a 2 8Pin PCIe to 1 8Pin PCIe adaptor, and the PSU run for less than a second because that cable in particular created some kind of short circuit, and the solution was to use another conector, a SATA to PCIe adaptor which did the job quite well.

good! We hope more and more excellent geeks join into blockchain to improve mining tools

It loooks like this https://imgur.com/a/EdcbA  after  i start cast xmr it works for few seconds then the 2x cards on other psu shuts down

im using https://www.miner-shop.cz/prislusenstvi/psu-2-psu/

tryed changing gpu powers cables to 2x 8pin in vga and 2 x8pin in psu from 2x 8pin in vga and 1 8pin psu it had same effect

I managed to get it work with turning on and off all cards in devices  and also turning on and off hbcc on all cards this makes it work but only for 80 mins  then same thing happens

welll i managed to burn the 700W one so im undervolting 5vegas on 1000W now will buy another 1000W for next cards i have asrock h110 pro btx + will try to go for 8x vegas

hi all,


right now i'm using 1 vega 56 and 2 rx 560, the monitor is plugged into rx 560

is there anyway to edit the run.bat so it can detect the vega 56 even is not plug with monitor?

i've already try plugged the monitor into vega, but there's no display when rx 560 is plugged too..

you don't need to do that. Maybe that cable isn't stable enough and creates some stress on the motherboard. There is a much, much cheaper and energy efficient solution to use 2 PSUs at once --I've seen some miners using a very expensive adaptor to connect 2 PSUs to the same motherboard.   ONE of the PSUs doesn't need to connected to the motherboard at all. Learnt this trick in my first year studying computer science and testing computers, 2 years ago --it was one of the questions in the exam   .

The green and black cable of the the PSU can be bridged using a paper clip, this is meant for the PSU to be tested and check if it works or not. If the fan starts spinning then the PSU is fine (so you check for issues on other componentes).

The EVGAs include a piece of plastic to make that bridge and test the PSUs. You can use that or just the paper clip trick, a bent needle, etc etc etc.

I just added another Vega 64 to my rigs. It was 1xvega 64 and 2x56. Before i got 1800H/s for ea of vega 56. now i only get 1400H/s average. I did all the trick but i couldn't fix it. any advice? thanks

BUt 560 are not supported in xmr cast , right?

yes 560 are not supported in cast xmr, that's why i'm going to use 2 different miners

but i'm confused how to edit the run.bat, when I executed the run.bat it always rejected saying that 560 is not supported

I have a Vega 56 that I can't seem to get past 1250-1290 h/s.

Bios: Stock
Mem Clock: 950
Power Limit: +20
Core Clock: 1500
Driver: Aug 23 Block Chain

Any ideas?

check the temps, it might be throttling. Sometimes some risers are not that good. Reduce the Mem clock to 935MHz, most Vegas can be unstable past that. Use vega.miningguides.com , it is an amazing start point -just don't forget to not use 950MHz as the standard for every Vega 56, some issues come from there-. Take a look at this thread, there are some very helpful posts, in the last 20 pages or so.

Is there a way to setup/define backup pools? Don't see a way. That's the only thing keeping me from using Cast XMR.

yes i am interested in that feature too.
because nicehash EU is acting up lately.

thank you
