Here's a nice little tip on how to increase your hashrate even more :
Example for Vega56 doing normalv7 algo :

1.Put --enableduplicategpuid in start.bat at the end of line ( SRBMiner-CN.exe --config config-normalv7.txt --pools pools-normalv7.txt  --sendallstales --enableduplicategpuid )
2.Set gpu in config-normalv7.txt :

Code:
{
"cryptonight_type" : "normalv7",
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true,
"gpu_conf" :
[
{
 "id" : 0,
 "intensity" : 122,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 1
},
{
 "id" : 0,
 "intensity" : 124,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 1
}
]
}


What was done here?  When using 2 threads , the best value for intensity is 123. By enabling the usage of duplicate gpu id, you make 2 separate threads for 1 gpu, but one has value 123-1, the other 123+1.
This method can be used on any GPU, you just need to experiment with the intensities.
I tried this on my Vega 64's and saw a nice little bump for not doing much.  I was able to squeeze out between 15 and 20h/s per card.  So that really adds up pretty quickly.  Now I am going to cry and say it messes up my monitoring Smiley  I now see duplicate GPU's.
