Hi,

i found a way to enable HBCC on more than 4 Vega cards and implemented it in a tool for you.
In this thread I will offer you two tools: HBCC-Activator and a modified version of xmr-stak.
Due to license restrictions I am not able to offer you both tools in one .exe file and have to offer both tools as a standalone version.

The modified version of xmr-stak-amd is open source amd will just mine for you with regular hbcc-settings. The source code of the modified version is uploaded on github.

The HBCC-Activator is close source and activates HBCC on all of your Vega cards. I use it on two of my rigs with 8 Vega cards each, 8 gb system memory and  100gb virtual memory. If you do not want HBCC-Activator to throw errors, you have to download it and save it in the same directory as the executable of the xmr-stak-amd-miner (modified version) and use this miner. <- License restriction.



Requirements:
- Settings like described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/74hjqn/monero_and_vega_the_definitive_guide/
- local admin privileges
- A mining rig with Vega 64 / 56 gpus

Recommendations:
- Use overdriventool for optimal automation!
- Create a scheduled task to run my tool after system startup
   or: create a Batch-File to run this tool as administrator and dactivate the uac (not really recommended)

Known issues:
- TLS-Connection of the miner is not working!
