AMD Mem Tweak XL - Read/modify timings/pp/straps on the fly

[adisonu]

Hey all,

I'm mining ETH with PowerColor Red Devil Vega56 with Hynix memory, but can't get out then more than 43,6 MH per card.
BIOS is not modified.
Here are my tests:

39,3MH/s:
 --RAS 22 --RCDRD 17 --RCDWR 4 --RC 35 --RP 13 --RRDS 4 --RRDL 4 --RFC 148 --REF 15600                                                  
39,8MH/s:
 --RAS 24 --RCDRD 19 --RCDWR 4 --RC 35 --RP 13 --RRDS 4 --RRDL 5 --RFC 148 --REF 15600
40,2MH/s:
 --RAS 24 --RCDRD 19 --RCDWR 4 --RC 35 --RP 14 --RRDS 4 --RRDL 5 --RFC 148 --REF 15600
43,5MH/s (also similar hashrate if Claymore miner used with strap 1 and rxboost):
--RAS 24 --RCDRD 24 --RCDWR 26 --RC 36 --RP 13 --RRDS 1 --RTR 6 --CL 19 --RRDL 1 --RDDATA 22 --FAW 12 --RFC 196 --REF 65535
 40,6MH/s:
 --RAS 24 --RCDRD 19 --RCDWR 4 --RC 35 --RP 14 --RRDS 4 --RRDL 5 --RFC 148 --REF 65535

My OVNT settings:

GPU_P7=1523;910
Mem_P3=925;875
power limit is 0.
PPT patched.

GPU-only power draw is 150-160W.

Any ideas how can I get more out of them?

Hi,

Maybe my settings works better for you. My cards the same as yours, hynix memory.

Hope this helps,

Hello  

Would it be possible to convert the current settings back to a timing strap? (so we can put it inside a bios file and make it permanent)
It could be even just a location reference, like "tREF is located in the x-th byte inside the timing strap".

Btw, really a nice app I'm tweaking the hell out of my GPU.

Yes, i've implemented this into the Extended XL version.

Hello, Eliovp!

I was happy to be able to apply the changes made by Memtweak to the strap. I made a change in the REF of an RX470 4gb and clicked on ">>" to generate the strap. I changed the strap on bios and flashed on RX. The hash dropped from 29 to 17mhs in Ethash. Is there anything to note besides changing the parameter and clicking ">>"?

REF didn't exists in memory straps.

Ohhh i don't suspected... thanks...

With the new XL version, I can only occasionally update the the values on the fly.  Most often not.  The added tools are nice to have though.  My system always fails to read the injected strap ... pops and error dialog box to that effect.

I still regret moving to Win10 1903 as I think that's what took away my ability to modify things real-time, while Claymore is running.

You probably need an option or button to revert out of test mode.  Obviously, you can flip into test mode if you don't detect it running but then there's no automated way back out in the XL Win tool.

Edit:

bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF

just in case someone was looking for it.

I've tried to recreate your problem with the straps not injecting ..

Just to be clear here, you can only inject a strap at the selected frequency.

So if you're currently running your memory at 1900 Mh and you do a modification/strap injection for freq 2000, you're not going to notice any differences.
However, that doesn't mean that you should get those error messages.
It's the driver that fails to inject the strap.
Probably something to do with Claymore's driver

Button to turn test mode off has been added to latest release

As well as NAVI10 support 

Only Strap injection and Power Play support (read from vbios/registry and write to registry for now)

Latest version

Cheers!

Cant find CoreControl and MemoryControl Command line options for windows batch file,tried almost every option eg.
GPU_P0 853;800;0
GPU_P1=991;800;0
GPU_P2=1084;800;0
GPU_P3=1138;800;0
GPU_P4=1150;800;0
GPU_P5=1202;800;0
GPU_P6=1407;800;0
GPU_P7=1407;875
Mem_P0=167;900;0
Mem_P1=500;900;0
Mem_P2=800;900;0
Mem_P3=875;900
Is there an option to modify/disable/enable theses P-states with commands under windows batch?

[maximus63]

Please! Add feature to control Core voltage and mem P states from BAT!!!

For example:

....WinAMDTweak.exe --i 0,1,2 --RAS 17 --RCDRD 15 --RCDWR 4 --RC 34 --RP 12 --rtp 4 --faw 12 --REF 15600 --CoreP7 1407 --CoreP7V 875

or

start.bat ->

....WinAMDTweak.exe --i 0,1 --load mySettings1.xml
....WinAMDTweak.exe --i 2 --load mySettings2.xml

it`s completely broken strap, I`d not use it at all.

Thanks.  I'm on Claymore 11.9 so I'm not using his newer strap injection version.  I'm only trying to mess with the REF at this point, but other timing regs also refuse to update.  I'll d/l the latest and keep at it ... see if I can find the common thread.

Not sure I understand the reference to the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\AmdGpuTweak.sys on GitHub.  Where is this file and is it required?

[livada]

how close test mode?

every reset win go in test mode.

c:\windows\system32\drivers\AmdGpuTweak.sys not exist

[Iamtutut]

I always get a "NullReferenceException" window asking me to activate the test mode. I allow it, then reboot. My system is then running in test mode (indicated on the bottom right of the windows desktop). But when I launch the AMD.Memory.Tweak.XL, I get the same "NullReferenceException" window.

How can I solve this please ?

Can we get the actual setting used to achieve this? Vega settings are posted like they are the new HOT instagram whore.

I ( and so does everyone else ) realize that bios mods/straps are available for the Rx series cards. so what, post settings so others can see what works and what doesnt.

so if you have settings for the rx-series cards post them. so others can see what changes are actually working vs guessing.


so far I have changed

tRFC setting down in 10's till 150 (from 219 WHEN MINING ) - stable
REF to 30 - stable

this gets me about 1kh more on an rx580 samsung memory 8gb ( MSI OC armor ) stock bios - for Turtlecoin algo ( CN/pico CN/trtl ) - 7khs @ 80watts ( 1150/2150 OC, undervolt -162 MSI AB )

[SulliJM1]

I gotta say, this tool is cool as hell.

Although, I'm having some trouble with it. Probably because I'm a noob.

I went ahead and downloaded it and installed it, manually with the terminal, running HiveOS, the VEGA supported version.

I'm running 6x 1070s, 1x 1070ti, and 4x Vega 64s.

The trouble I'm having is HiveOS kinda sucks at overclocking when it comes to AMD. Claymore isn't doing the job either; and my Linux illiteracy and lack of Google returns isn't helping.

I love how you can modify the hell out of the stuff with this tool, but I can't seem to get the GUI working so I can modify the DPM/Memstates (which, honestly, is all I'm tryna do). Is there a way to get the GUI working in HiveOS that I just don't know about? Or a command line? Or do I just suck at life?

Thanks for the update, looking mighty fine.
