somebody now how to activate hbcc on a mixxed rx 580/vega rig with driver 17.10.2 or later?
cant use blockchain driver because its 12gpu rig(with blockchain driver it works)

disable+enable in devicemanager dont work, toggle the switch in settings dont work to
have windows fall update installed

i flashed vega 56 to 64.
on blockchain driver it gets recognized as vega 64 on 17.10.2 or later as 56(but i can do still registry mods)
You don't need to (de)activate hbcc. Just go to device manager, and disable + enable all Vega's. That will do the trick.

750 h/s is pretty impressive for a cpu. Which cpu is it?

I have a Ryzen 1600 and a 1080 ti. My hashrate with XMR-AEON-SUMO-STAK 2.1 is 1450 (880 for gpu, 570 for cpu). It would be more profitable if I could use XMR-AEON-SUMO-STAK 2.1 to mine with my CPU only, and mine another coin with another miner with my gpu. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. Is it possible to mine with cpu only on XMR-AEON-SUMO-STAK 2.1?

Overclockers has a bunch of Vega's on stock. Both 56 & 64 cost 500 pound: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/search?sSearch=vega

I am mining with 5 Vega 56's at 9,8 kh/s for about 20 minutes, but the pool has not given me any (pending) rewards. The pool is recognizing my hash rate and submitted hashes though.... With 9.8 kh/s I should have 800 etn per day, which is almost equal to 1 etn per 2 minutes....

Am i doing something wrong here? Or do I need to be more patient?

almost vegas are mining ETN? Wink

It was fun while it lasted Wink

So it is no longer profitable to mine ETN with vegas?  Shocked
What happens in Vega's, stays in Vega's.

I hadn't originally planned on putting this out there, but some other asshole decided to charge a fee for this info. Fuck that guy. Here's a fix for reduced hashrate and a method for running 4+ Vega at full speed while mining XMR.

Basic Users:

1. Use the Blockchain drivers.
2. Open up your device manager.
3. Open up the "Display Adapters" dropdown.
4. Right click on one of your Vega's.
5. Disable it.
6. Wait a few seconds.
7. Right click on the Vega you just disabled.
8. Re-enable it.
9. Repeat steps 4-8 for the rest of your cards.
10. Enjoy mining at full speed with as many Vega as you damn well please. Probably.

Advanced Users:

The previously described process is a bit of a pain in the ass. Let's automate it.

New Procedure

1. Get your hands on the Windows Device Console (Devcon.exe). This will let you disable/enable devices from console.
2. Create a batch file in the same folder as devcon.exe with the following lines in it:
Code:
cd %~dp0
timeout /t 5
devcon.exe disable "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_687F"
timeout /t 5
devcon.exe enable "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_687F"
3. This will selectively disable/enable all the Vega cards you currently have in your system. Thanks to bytiges for noting that killing all the display adapters might not be a good idea for those using iGPU.
4. Run the batch file as an administrator at login, or whenever you lose hashrate on your cards. Enjoy never having to toggle the HBCC switch again.

Outdated Procedure

1. Get your hands on the Windows Device Console (Devcon.exe). This will let you disable/enable devices from console.
2. Run the command devcon.exe FindAll * to generate a list of all the currently attached devices and their hardware IDs.
3. Search your newly generated list for "Radeon RX Vega." You should find something like this:
Code:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_687F&SUBSYS_0B361002&REV_C3\6&3AAC35E3&0&000000E7 : Radeon RX Vega
4. The part to the left of the colon is what you need. Shocking, I know. Put that thing into a batch file that looks something like this:
Code:
@echo on
cd C:\Users\Mythic\Desktop\Startup
timeout /t 5
devcon.exe disable PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_687F&SUBSYS_0B361002&REV_C3\6&3AAC35E3&0&000000E7
timeout /t 15
devcon.exe enable PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_687F&SUBSYS_0B361002&REV_C3\6&3AAC35E3&0&000000E7
timeout /t 15
OverdriveNTool.exe -p0Vega0 -p1Vega1 -p2Vega2 -p3Vega3 -p4Vega4 -p5Vega5 -p6Vega6
timeout /t 10
cd C:\Users\Mythic\Desktop\xmr-stak-amd
xmr-stak-amd.exe
5. Run your batch file at startup as an administrator. Enjoy never having to toggle the HBCC switch again.

FAQ:

Q: So, Mythic, how exactly does this enable HBCC on cards 5-7?

A: It doesn't! HBCC Does nothing to improve your hashrate! Turns out the drivers are just shit and are bugged when Windows first boots up. Who would have guessed?

Q: But Mythic, does that mean I don't need 16 GB of ram to run my cards at full speed?

A: Correct! 4 GB of ram is completely sufficient!

Q: If I wanted to donate some pizza money to the broke ass college student that typed this up, how would I do so?

A: You ask the best questions! I doubt I'll get anything before more well known people/websites copy everything I just said (with no credit, obviously), but here are some addresses just in case.

Thanks to you, my mining speed went up from 8900-9000 to 9500-9600!!!

Does anybody run 5 or 6 x Vega 56? is it true the maximum is only 4?
I manage 2 mining rigs, with 5 Vega 56's on each of them. Mining with Xmr-Stak-Amd runs smoothly and very stable. According to the pool the average hashing power in the past 24 hours of 1 rig was 9,65 KH and the other 9,62 KH. According to Xmr-Stak-Amd the hashing rate is somehow lower at 8.9-9.0 kh for each mining rig.

They both have the same settings mentioned in this thread (gpu @ -30, memory at 950, fanspeed at 3500, powerlimit at -20% total power consumption of ~970 watt per rig, hbbc at maximum and virtual memory @ 64 gb.) I haven't changed the voltage.

Both mining rigs have only 8 gb ddr4. The HBBC-slider is visible, but only allows to increase the  HBBC-memory from 11600 to 11773 mb. On 1 of the 2 mining rigs, i can't adjust the HBBC-slider for the 5th gpu. The other 4 gpu's are adjustable. On the other mining rig all 5 gpu's seem to be able to get the hbbc-slider adjusted, although Wattman might give a false impression, i don't know, and i don't think this gives a significant boost. With 16 gb of ram you can increase the HBBC-memory to 14000-15000. I have ordered additional ram, which should arrive this week.

I would also like to mention that I didn't had to use a hdmi-dongle or something like that to get 9,62-9,65kh. After closing the monitor, the hashing rate doesn't seem affected.
