I was wondering has anyone tried out the vega frontier edition yet. do the guides to get it running to around 1900 h/s work on the FE edition as well? I was going to build a rig for rendering animations as well, and I wanted to know if I should go with the Frontier or 56/64 way. I know about all of the guides and setups to make the 64 work to 1900 h/s and was wondering if these will work (including that blockchain driver) for the FE as well.
I have had 1 Vega Frontier running on a Z170 board, I have 2 others but disabling and re-enabling fails to re-enable the other 2 although I managed to get 2 running once both at max speed.
I have now had one VF running for 2 weeks solid with xmr-stak-amd, average 2106H/s peak 2500+ mining electroneum (2 threads 2016)
blockchain driver, when it was running 2 cards was following a clean install on a reinstalled windows (using windows repair feature)
Mind to share your full config for FE? Driver, Power play table if using any, and stak config? All my tests ended up in a max of 1400 H/s although I keep seeing reports od 2500 H/s
quite simple really, vega fe in x16 slot, nothing tweaked, disable then re-enable (also using mining settings for GB-z170-ud5 mobo bios)
afterburner core 1646 mem 1102 custom fan profile to kick in around 47, temp 65 ish power 50
xmr-stak-amd, two threads of 2016 , I would set it higher but not sure what values to use
windows manages virtual ram but I have 64GB fast ram
just checked my new high score is 2601h/s peak, average 2106h/s (these are reflected at hashparty pool)
with a clean windows repair install which deletes all drivers I managed to get 2 cards running at full speed but once I started fiddling I couldn't get the second card working
I don't mess with card settings on driver, could possibly go higher but I'm looking for stability while mining ETN
Thanks! But you're using the blockchain driver for Frontier, right? That one is a pro driver without wattman access.
I'll do some work based on your input. Will let you know if I find something else.
