So I'm bad luck then, I have 4 gigabyte vega 56. Overclocking SOC to 1200 not working stable, miner stops working, miner freezes, pc freezes. Tried setting those numbers from C0,D4,01 to 38,C1,01 (for 1,15Ghz) but no luck SOC stays 1200 (1999). Increased Voltage for both GPU and memory, it works like stable, get about 2% more h/s but get about 12% compute error, which I never seen before.


In the end I really dont even care about the extra 50h but I'm curious why the fck it does not work on Gigabytes.


Identical cards. Works like a charm on Sapphires on high mhz and low voltages. Does not work at all on Gigabytes.

On GB cards I can get the SoC to work on 1200mhz with my own reg files but then I am limited to 950mv minimum.

What gives ?

Did you use Gigabyte BIOS files?



No' used generic AMD but they should be all exactly the same. Will try one tosay just to be sure.

What limits your own reg file to 950mv? 


To be honest - I dont know. Just wont work below that. It's a mystery to me why Rednows works on some cards as well.


I can tell what 30% of the entries in PowerPlay do. Rest is still a mystery and never had the time to really dig into it.

If I get the time I might start to compare Rednows differences in the reg.


Fixed the offsets today and also tried Gigabytes own bios.Still no go.

Took a look at the bioses from different AIBs. They are actually different  Undecided


Also BTW !!!

The newest drivers dont include a PowerPlayTable in the registry. Kind a bad news for the long run Cry


I have 6 bloody Gigabyte Vega 56 flashed to gigabyte air 64 bios the are driving me mad!  Two of them managed to run miraculously on Asus x370 board with ryzen 1600 cpu. using oldcomers more power 142 fixed reg , p7:1408/875  P3:1100/850 . have been running for a month now at 1600-1700h, don't bother touching them for any improvement!

However, the other bunch of 4 is crashing on everything I throw at them- none of the helae regs work! the Oldcomers one with the working config as used on the x370 board doesn't work!  the vegamining.blogspot.sg recipe doesn't work!   
board is Gigabyte z270p-d3 , g4560 cpu, 16gb ram.  2x Vegas put in the first and third 16x slots.  win 10 pro 1703. blockchain driver aug 23

what the hell is wrong with GB Vega 56 batches?  I see people I the forum  running several of them successfully, used their overdriventool setting, instant crash!

Did anyone successfully flash other bios on those damn Gigabytes?
