Re: AMD Mem Tweak XL - Read/modify timings/pp/straps on the fly

...is there a way that this can be done just like in overdriveNTool(much more practical) where you just autostart profiles with .bat for each of gpus(no need for reg powertable stuff)
example of input text in .bat
OverdriveNTool.exe -p0myProfile -p1"Profile 2"
In this example application starts without gui, then sets "myProfile" to GPU with id=0 and "Profile 2" to GPU with id=1 and then exit.

I would check out vegaminingguides for this and googling it. It used to work for the Vega FE and I still have a folder with that configuaration that I can show here. But you may need to dig in more on your own.
You could try mixing this in the same .bat as applying memtweak, but I'm the wrong guy to ask about this. You may already know all this..

What I had in one config.
cd command...
OverdriveNTool.exe -p1Default -p2Default -p3Default  -p4Default -p5Default
cd to miner location
start.bat

Though I don't have answers to my post yet such as, can the clocks, voltages, power and fans be adjusted with this utility on a Vega frontier edition. My current understanding is no they cannot, though they can on a 56 or 64.

So, what will work for me and all three, is my answer to your question which I decided not to quote, for a cleaner aesthetic ;-)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This code is saved in a plain text file as a .bat - ie, however you do it, this is a batch file that you run as administrator.
It can be anywhere on your computer and referenced with a shortcut if you like.
You'l have 3 folders. I do mine all in a root folder on C drive called Miner which windows virus and threat protection ignores the contents of.
1 folder is for power play tables and contains the Devcon file and registry files.
2nd folder contains your memTweak jam.
3rd folder, your miner jam.

There are other variations of this, but the above code does work. I just ran this exact code and had all actions applied in one automated fashion.
You can also place the shortcut here and elevate it to run as admin when it runs. or use task scheduler - either way applies these actions on startup if you like.
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

The above could have been shortened if I'd just enacted the apply.bat for the ppt's rather than showing the apply.bat contents. either way.
For a lifetime Mac user now using windows for work since 2016 and windows mining in 2017, getting this functional code up and running was a long process.

I hope people can find this useful, and perhaps share some answers to my post #1035 about the Vega Frontier Edition.
Edit: Device ID 6863 is unique to the Vega frontier. 56 and 64 need to be looked up under their display adapter properties in device manager.

Hi all, it's an honor to be here.

I've allowed myself stuck in certain circles and mindsets the last 2+ years that I've found quite limiting.
I've been mining with a growing number of Vega Frontier Edition cards since 2017. Die hard Vega FE guy.
There's been a lot of changes and I've adapted with all except for implementing this Mem tweak independent of a miner doing a variant for me.
Today I've got into it and have an automated startup apply and run setup going that gets me 46.4 Mh on Etherium.
My clocks currently are: PPT 1300_999Core 1100Mem 1200Soc 142PL 63TT

cd C:\Miner\Apply_Mem_Tweak
timeout /t 1
WinAMDTweak.exe --CL 17 --RAS 35 --RCDRD 16 --RCDWR 12 --RC 44 --RP 14 --RRDS 3 --RRDL 5 --RTP 5 --FAW 20 --CWL 6 --WTRS 4 --WTRL 9 --WR 16 --WRRD 1 --RDWR 17 --REF 17550 --RFC 317
cd C:\Miner\Miner Claymore\Claymore v15.0
timeout /t 1
start.bat

My stock Clocks
WinAMDTweak.exe --CL 17 --RAS 33 --RCDRD 16 --RCDWR 10 --RC 47 --RP 14 --RRDS 4 --RRDL 6 --RTP 5 --FAW 16 --CWL 6 --WTRS 4 --WTRL 9 --WR 16 --WRRD 1 --RDWR 17 --REF 3900 --RFC 350

Questions:
1. What are settings for an FE to do best? (Figured I'd start direct with my ? if anyone actually knows).
2. Is it just me or is the FE the only Vega that has to use Power Play Tables exclusively to adjust it's clocks? Some time back, overdriveNtool no longer worked for FE. Now it seems this memtweak tool is doing timings and those functions.
3. My vague understanding is that the FE got the best of the best from AMD/ samsung along with double the HBM2. In Cryptonight variants I've always got better than V64 cards best. Do you know with which timings this could shine for eth vs. a 64? Currently can't even match the 51+ Mh.

I rarely see the FE get mentioned what to speak of talk about in depth. It's a costly learning curve for me since 2017. Still paying out of pocket for everything my ambitious 2017 self did and am trying to do better with what I've got. The basic 41-44 per card doesn't break even after every middle man in-between mining and paying electric.

Thanks for your time and help!

I would love to see the ability to solo mine directly with your own daemon/ node/ wallet.

This is the only place I know of to request such a thing.

Pretty please :-)
