Hi, any support for AMD Vega 56?

[melt7777]

Hi, any support for AMD Vega 56?

Sorry to say, Vega56 is not recommended for use with PiMP yet. AMD's driver support for Linux is extremely rudimentary and we are still working on it. Essentially, We've got one mining using pimp 2.15, but we cannot seem to send commands to the AMD GPU hardware via gputool, sysfs or any of the tools provided by mfg or third party, so we are researching.


Thank you for asking us!

Thank you for clarifications.

If you ever need to beta test Pimp versions on HW,  I have some cards that I can setup in two separate rigs ( various vendors, MSi, Gigabyte)

Thanks agkbill for your support. It's really great to hear about the stability, since that is one of our hallmarks.

Stay tuned, we've got lots of things about 75% done and cant wait to unveil new tools so managing rigs is easier and easier.

- New configuration management
- Backup/restore
- All new Best-in-Class Helpme 3!

In the meantime we have all the latest miners released every MINERFARM MONDAY! We are working on a miner version / pimp news improvement to better communicate which ones get updated. Coming soon!

RX470's and 570's all hashing ETH nice and stable. Getting 28.2mh/s @ 52w on the 470's, and 28.5mh/s @ 75w. Thanks for all the Discord live chat support you and the PiMP team (and other PiMP miners) have given me. Keeps me well informed and gives me the confidence to play and learn. The Miner.Farm remote management is fantastic. Loving all the latest weekly updates and the constant "heads-up" on what's coming and how to mine it, or general how-to guides. The PiMP forum is like my bible. Keep up the good work!! PiMP ROCKS!!

Settings below for anyone that needs them...

Sapphire RX470 4gb - Hynix memory - PBE One-Click - Core 1025, Mem 2025. No undervolting (just haven't bothered on these 470's yet)

MSI RX570 4gb Armor - Samsung memory - PBE One-Click - Core 1040, Mem 1960. Both core and mem at 800mv.
These will run nice and cool and stable at the above.. But I have had and got them running 1060@812mv and 2025@800mv stable, but warmer.

Hope that helps some of you.

Interesting numbers for the RX470, thanks for sharing Broomey! Thinking about replacing some old GTX970 with RX470, this make me more inspired to do so 
Agree that the Discord live chat is fantastic, real people and real answers from thouse who know what they are talking about, really apreciate that!

All the best!
