Re: Any word on amd vega hash rates?

I use the following lines for enabling/disabling if this helps...  Just be sure to pause between each.

devcon.exe disable *6B761002

devcon.exe enable *6B761002

Again, sorry I'm very much a novice. So would the .bat file be:

cd %~dp0
timeout /t 5
devcon.exe disable *6B761002
timeout /t 5
devcon.exe enable *6B761002


Thanks!

Same. Anyone have any insight?

Make sure your running the batch file/devcon as an administrator. If that doesn't work, make sure you have the 64 bit version of devcon if you're running 64 bit windows, and the 32 bit version of devcon if you're running 32 bit windows.

Side note for people who might search this in the future:

The Asus Z270-A WILL NOT RUN 7 Vega. At least not without additional hardware. Its impossible to install the drivers, they'll crash every time no matter how you do it. 6 cards is doable, as long as they're placed in every slot EXCEPT PCIeX16_1. If a card is placed in the first x16 slot, then the drivers will crash while installing if you try to use more than 5 cards. Just a heads up for anyone who might be having this problem.

Thanks Mythic. I'm stumped.

I used this method to get devocon.exe:
]https[Suspicious link removed]

Then followed your instructions. Still get the same error:

I have to disable, then enable each GPU, which still works great. Still a pain though.
Just put this at the begining of your bat file. And it will start as admin...

@echo off

:: BatchGotAdmin
:-------------------------------------
REM  --> Check for permissions
>nul 2>&1 "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\cacls.exe" "%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\config\system"

REM --> If error flag set, we do not have admin.
if '%errorlevel%' NEQ '0' (
    echo Requesting administrative privileges...
    goto UACPrompt
) else ( goto gotAdmin )

:UACPrompt
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) > "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    set params = %*:"=""
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/c %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"

    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    exit /B

:gotAdmin
    pushd "%CD%"
    CD /D "%~dp0"

Thanks for the input. I gave it a try and still no go. It's clearly running so there is no admin issues. Still get this error:

I'm very much a noob, but what I gather is that devcon.exe can't find the GPU's? I'll just have to disable/enable from device manager i suppose. Thanks again, hopefully new drivers at some point will address this.

I'm having problems with the script. The manual disable/enable works fine.

output of script:
C:\Users\monero\Desktop>devcon.exe disable "PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_687F"
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_687F&SUBSYS_0B361002&REV_C3\6&2AF6ADFE&0&000000E6: Disable failed

C:\Users\monero\Desktop>timeout /t 5

Obviously it found 4 Cards but was not able to disable it?
I'm on build 1703 and I downloaded devcon.exe the following way:
