VEGA 64 mining FREE WISDOM

[RIGED]

as far as the ETH max stable speed tests go

it seems imperative to have MEM clock on GPU1 in NTool set at the lowest parameter ie 1100MHz, for reasons and observations explained before

rough scale is:

1100MHz=44,2MH/s
1140MHz=45,5MH/s
1150MHz=46,2MH/s
1200MHz=48,2MH/s

rest of the settings are the same as pg9

remember you need to unlock SoC  (C0 D4)

1422MHz on P7 GPU clock i had to contrive myself as everything else i found on the net was not stable for me, let me know if you have tried something else

Thanks for sharing your findings. It is strange to see people jumping on your thread aggressively, trying to stop you... If they have really better strategy, why are they angry about you? Doubting about their real motivation...

For me, I still prefer mining some minor cryptonight coins hoping to have better gains but I am very interested by your experimentations on eth: it is always better to have more options.

By the way did you manage you goals with vega FE on cryptonight?

I hope you will continue your thread...

trying to find the time for more trial and error

using only one FE i have succesfuly coded 4 threads which are being recognised by the miner without fail
i have tweeked the intensities for each thread in an diminishing scale
playing around with memory alocations, batch sizes etc

almost there but not i dunno hahah,
 and yes i will post the info here FOR FREE when i get the first hashrate confirm on all 4 threads

This is great, if this works it will make mining accessible and profitable to almost everyone, not everyone has the willingness/financial possibility/knowledge to build a multi GPU mining rig, but almost everyone ca buy a PC with a Vega FE GPU in it and start mining.

You sir are doing great work here, please keep it up, I never considered mining until I've read this thread because I don't want to build a multiple GPU mining rig, butiIf this works I'll buy a VEGA FE PC and start.

Thank you!

[RIGED]

thnx!

mining during gaming downtime can creep into income loss remorse  lol

one of the goals IS to get as many mining as possible by making it worth your while and effort
 envisioning DECAHASH networks for each and every top 500 coins


btw i have contacted some of the VEGA established pioneers (offering money also), you all have read their sites/threads/guides, but none have answered so far

[KL0nLutiy1]

Any news about 4 threads on FEs cards on cryptonight?

[billhinge]

Any news about 4 threads on FEs cards on cryptonight?

I use 2x 2016 which gets me 2000-2100 although I have had higher. (sometimes get silly high one off numbers eg 2400, 2500 - same on pool, not sure if the hashing is averaged and displayed wrong)
If I use higher than 2016 performance usually degrades
If I use 4 threads I get worse performance
gpuz shows only 8gb of ram used, not sure if it is a card issue or miner issue

I thought this was really interesting today, since if your're mining for real you might want be actually mining to make real money everyday.

Based on a 6 card Vega rig ETH Hashrate = 275 <-- extremely overclocked mem
Based on a 6 card Vega rig Cryptonight Hashrate = 12020 <-- Lightly overclocked mem


ETH estimated rewards over 24 hrs = 0.0244 x $837.9 = $20.44
BTC estimated rewards over 24 hrs = 0.00290 x $8326.0 = $23.72 (just using nicehash)

Thanks Whattomine!

Also new update from CAST XMR shows a 1% performance boost for FE cards

Cast XMR Version 0.8.5 (2018/02/07)

  - 1% performance gain for Vega Frontier Edition with Blockchain driver (fastest GPU around)
  - 1% performance improvement with current stock driver (18.1.1) for RX Vega 56/64 (40% to go to reach Blockchain driver performance)
  - fix for random blocking console output
  - GPU now always logs with its device id not the order they are listed in the -G argument
  - --log option to log console output to a file
  - remote access includes CORS support in HTTP header

agreed, although I'm currently using xmr-stak but working on my own modified version for research purposes

essentially what I do then convert ETN to ETH at exchange

pg5 post 88

begining of complete guide to ETN @2000H/s

new version of cast xmst seems to be giving a little extra too!

read the thread, we were there 15Dec2017

ETH is still the most profitable to mine
getting 635MH/s from the 6x2 64s + 2FE

45.35Mhs/gpu
will be uploading a vid of screens with settings

[Dbatch]

ok here it is
4 out of 6 stable on the asus b250 mining

45.5MH/s ETH

settings are the same only MEM set to 1140MHz

https://imgur.com/qIb7Upu

if you have the same number VEGA registry folders as you do actual GPUs then the,
trick is NOT to set GPU1 on Ntool at 1140 but leave it on 1100 as its the one that works extra I have found and heats up more, I think its the first one you instal when doing them one by one

trying the fifth and reporting back...

Pfffft I get 45 in my sleep.. I put mem to 1200 and get 48mhs this is on 64 with EK waterblock

[emiljoe08]

i have 6 1070s and one 650w and 1 900w psu can i connect both the psus to asus b250 mobo and how could you help me please???

[billhinge]

don't use Cast. get the opensource XMR-Stak, take out dev fee and recompile

Much faster and more stable, no pool switching. results are reflected at the pool. eg 24hr average = 5.12kh/s for 2 vega fe and 1950x cpu. been running non stop for 2 weeks

[R0mi]

Not really the right thread for this, but the answer is yes, you can.  Take the 650w PSU and plug it into the motherboard and maybe power 1 or 2 1070 cards.  Take the 900w PSU and use it to power your other 4 or 5 1070 cards, but don't connect it to the motherboard!

[Bigdrago]

Still mining eth? Seems like the most prof. coin atm

[Dlikrot]

Funny how these cards never get in stock again... Had to settle with some rx 580’s

Vegas are in stock, they are just 200% over msrp.

[Ursul0]

no sata connection is very bad for powerring risers, it will work some time, but you will probably burn your cables/hardware after some time.

It's only true if you run Vega at 300Watt. With normal 150W consumption 2*8Pin is more than enough and riser power won't be used much.

It's actually almost never true. There was a problem with polaris refs that were getting more power from pcie slot that the spec allows...   it was fixed in non refs later and vegas do not have this issue at all. even at the peaks of 300+W it gets almost all it needs from12v 8pins

[Ursul0]

Have you tried mining Neoscrypt with the Vegas? I read somewhere they should be able to easily reach 1200MH/s+. Might actually be more profitable than ETH if used on a Neoscrypt switching pool like Zergpool or Ahashpool. Should be able to try Gatelessgate Sharp or NSGminer.

I suppose this is 1.2Mh/s and not 1200mh/s which would be insane.
A GTX 1080 ti can do 1.8Mh/s, which is rather good.
A GTX 1070 ti can do around 1.2-1.4 Mh/s which is very good for the price (supposing you bought the card at normal price).

yep it does quite well. vega fe(the only driver that supports overdriven tool proper for me is: 2017.Q4) hashes NeoScript @2MH stable with moderate power consumption:

HBM Temperature at 80°C ?? Isnt that to hot for 24/7 ?


I got another question for the group. I just read this @Vegaminingguides:

If you are shopping for a MB, understand that the AMD driver will not support more than 8 Vega's in one rig.  Any motherboard PCIe slots beyond 8 will need to be used for Nvidia cards.

Is that true? No one have a rig with 8+ Vegas? Just wondering...

nope
we got 11 running on the Asrock H110BTC Pro but it was unstable
even 8 are a pain to keep running long haul

settled for no more than 6 per mobo, works well with the 1600w PSU also

[RIGED]

after much trial and error thought and work,
the best solution by far, considering thermal dissipation is the architecture shown in the vid below

when you situate a card air intake fan so close to the hot neighbour card you are creating a thermal feedback loop that heats the cards on average 10-20C hotter than when they have room to breath and expel the heat without affecting the neighbour cards
