@hitmand @ipp2
i switched 18.6.1 drivers on a 470 4/8g mixed rig to the blockchain drivers to see if that's causing some issues with the 'invalid job' and @hitmand's 3 minute / gpu precompile time, but no - all should be fine with BC drivers, so at least now i know its not the driver that is making the problem.
Can you guys tell me which SRB version are you using? I see @hitmand uses 1.8.8 , have you tried 1.8.9 ?
Are you mining monero or some other CN/R coin ?
So one interesting thing about this is that it only occurs VERY occasionally. Once a day at most. I've got all kinda of polaris cards on my rigs and after your post Dok, I went ahead and tried the 18.6.1 drivers on a single rig. I got them to mine at full speed by having the 'Radeon settings' be installed and manually one by one setting compute mode (so painful). I can report back that it is the drivers. Blockchain drivers hang (doing so right now even) while 18.6.1 continues to work. Sorry for it taking so long to time to respond but the blockchain drivers did not fail for 4 days nearly! They just failed about 20 minutes prior to reporting this and still are while typing this. In fact I had time to start a new test rig with 1 card with 18.6.1 and it's working fine also. 5 rigs (with 6/7 cards each) What's interesting is when the BC drivers stall...it isn't a one time thing. They will stall through multiple blocks for up to an hour. Even if you reboot and start the script up again it will just not work and stall out. The popular pools don't matter, they all do the same issue. This points to not being a hardware issue at all. So I think it has something to do with blocks themselves. https://i.imgur.com/3VUWfLe.png |

You don't need to go that painful road , don't install the whole AMD 18.6.1 driver suite, just the drivers, and after that run this in an admin elevated cmd prompt : SRBMiner-CN.exe --setcomputemode
It will set every AMD gpu in your system to compute mode. Or you can use the AMD-Compute-Mode-SwitcherAnyways, back to the driver installation. After doing the cleanup with DDU, run the AMD driver installer and wait until it gets to the screen where you can actually install it (it was unpacking data before that to c:\AMD). Close the window, don't install anything. Go to Device Manager , under Display Adapters you should see your GPU's not recognised (because no driver was installed). Right click on any -> update driver -> browse my computer for driver -> and the search location should be C:\AMD\Win10-64Bit-Radeon-Software-Adrenalin-Edition-18.6.1-June13\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INFThis will install the 18.6.1 drivers without all the other junk. After this patch the driver with Pixel Clock Patcher if needed. And set the GPU's to compute mode with the above described method. I am preparing for the next SRB version a parameter that can set the number of blocks that get precompiled, so maybe it will help someone reduce precompilation time.. |

I have the same issue. Tried to reinstall the driver and the same result. The mb looks ok and everything runs and recognized. Any idea what is going on? Hello,
I'm knew to SRB miner and I'm having some difficulty. I followed instructions in the guide and can only manage to get.

Try reinstalling the drivers using DDU. Otherwise, it might be an indication of a faulty motherboard. |

Hi guys is there anyone getting 2120-2200 hashes on Vega 64 on the latest SRB Miner consuming less than 185Watts for a card from the wall?

Im not surprised you got stale shares, holy cr**, 8 minutes to precompile 15 blocks?!
Please upload the logfile somewhere and send me the link in pm

Anyone know a coin that is using the old swap algo? Believe it was renamed "Super Fast".

SRBMiner-CN.exe --enablecoinforking --config Config\config-litev7.txt --pools pools.txt --logfile %LOGTIME%
Try without the --enablecoinforking parameter, maybe that's causing the issue. |

Thanks Doc. It has been working for weeks. Yesterday it stopped working and I rebooted the box. The miner started to be like that. My other miners are using the same software and same config. All are just fine. SRBMiner-CN.exe --enablecoinforking --config Config\config-litev7.txt --pools pools.txt --logfile %LOGTIME%

i cant seem to get miners stable at --cgputweakprofile 4,4,4,4,4
Only half seem stable (i am not on facility maybe just need to reboot or so i am using Awesome Miner)
i choose low value because default my hashrate is around 1.85Kh/s for CN R, which i think Vega should do atleast 2Kh/s
my startup commando is
--ccryptonighttype normalv4 --cgpuid 0,1,2,3,4 --cgpuworksize 16,16,16,16,16 --cgpuintensity 112,112,112,112,112 --cgputhreads 2,2,2,2,2 --cgputweakprofile 4,4,4,4,4
and use OverdriveNtools
core 1450/900
mem 935/900
are some settings off are am i missing a point/setting here?

The default ~1850hs without tweaks for a Hynix mem Vega seems ok with those clocks in SRB. So what is your hashrate with tweak_profile 4 ? Also are you cooling those Vegas enough ?  |
