@ All with Vega 56 with Hynix HBM2:

I read here, that the most V56 with Hynix having issues if the frequency is higher than 890Mhz.

I have one V56 Hynix running well @890/0915mV
A second V56 Hynix has issues with this settings and brings GPU errors

What voltages do you apply in Wattman/OverDriveNTool/Regmods???

Please let me know. THANKS

I am not certain if raising voltage will assist with higher core clock without throwing invalid shares, but what I did was merely reducing the mem clock until no error was thrown. If increasing voltage will allow the HBM memory to hash at expected hashrate I would have done so. But so far it doesn't seems to be the case (able to push to 930 mem clock, but no amount of voltage bump will fix the invalid calculation error).

Thanks! This helps a lot :-)

So it seems aftermarket cards use Hynix memory and do not seem to overclock so well? Few I have seen struggle to maintain 950.

We’re all reference cards Samsung memory?
Mine are Samsung (Vega 56) One card can't go stable beyond 900. Some of them start failing around 930. One I tested worked at 980 but I don't know which one now and it takes forever to try one by one. So currently my rig has 1 card at 900 and 5 cards at 925. Maybe Samsung mem is overrated?

Yeah maybe. I thought it was common to get them to run 1100mhz.

As far as I know, if you have a V56 with Samsung, it should be able run around 1100Mhz, but you have to flash a V64 BIOS on it.
For my V56 with Samsung it works.

does anyone have experience with this V56?
MSI Radeon RX Vega 56 Boost OC
https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-Vega-56-Air-Boost-8G-OC/Overview

Hashrates and setup would be great
even if someone can tell wether the v56 regmods work or not.
THANKS
i have this 3 pics,all of cards have Hynix HBM. so,i set up memory clock 890@900mv core 1400mh stable.with ~1800H/s.
powerplaymod is working fine same AIB card's. Cry Cry Cry

Did you try pushing your Hynix memory to 930 or 950 mem range? Does it hash in good result? Or just throwing invalid shares all around?

Thanks.
temp is around 55-60 fan rpm 3000-3500. bit higher becouse i use Onda B250-D8P. its close by GPUs.

pushing memclock to 930 is can. but show invalid shares.   940 is unstable.  Sad Sad Sad
Maybe you have high temp. issues.
What are your HBM2 temps

Do all Vegas in reference design have Samsung HBM2?
Yes, when reference cards were made, only Samsung had HBM2 available. The aftermarket cards were late in part because Hynix wasn't ready.

Anyone mining ETH+PASL or PASC? what's your profitability daily?

Hi,

I am bit surprised, since I expected less power consumption.
Even ETH only takes 182W from the wall.
But PASC is very CPU intensive

Here my results  (V56 w. 64bios)

-1408/1100@895
DCRI 30: ETH 36,2mhs & PASC 1088mhs 265W
DCRI 25: ETH 40,5mhs & PASC 1000mhs 275W

-1100/1100@895
DCRI 30: ETH 28,6mhs & PASC 860mhs 210W

ETH only
-1408/1100@895
DCRI 30: ETH 43,9mhs 202W

-1100/1100@895
DCRI 30: ETH 43,8mhs 182W

What config did you use with xmr-stak-amd? Vega56 doesn't like high intensities with xmr-stak. cast-xmr is way better for vega56 if you are not concerned with closed-source risk ))

I'm running 2016/1600 and 2016/1736. Both have the same issue.

I've been following the reddit definitive guide and it mentions no problems with those intensities.
At some point I remember lowering them to 1920 / 1524 but was not stable either.

Can you suggest some intensities to try ?

PS: yes, I don't like running closed source. I even compiled stak-amd myself, but it makes no difference vs. the stability issue above.
My v56 runs fine with intensities of 1760/1760 @1930 H/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 how you run 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 that fucker.
6. Wait a few seconds.
7. Right click on the Vega you just disabled.
8. Re-enable that fucker.
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.

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.

I need a help.

My rig is Asus Z270-P/Celeron/16Gb/ Vega56 with 64 BIOS

I use this instruction:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/74hjqn/monero_and_vega_the_definitive_guide/?sort=new

If I install 2 GPU - 130W per card
If I install 4 GPU - 160W per card

Why?

Hmm, I noticed that each additional card would add marginally more to my draw from the wall. Not as much as you're reporting - maybe about 5W/GPU (that is 1 GPU adds 130, 2 adds 135 (265 total), 3 adds 140 (405 total), etc.). I just chalked it up to extra CPU, lowered PSU efficiency, or something. Are you saying 2 cards bumps you by 260W, but 4 cards bumps you by 640W?

370W and 720W total.
are you sure, that you applied the same settings etc. to all of your cards, even to the new ones?

BUT:

370W for 2 VEGA and 720W for 4 VEGA seems OKAY for my opinion.

I assume: 165-170W per card and 40W for the rest w/o VEGA cards

Today I got my first VEGA 56.

The hashrate is max at 1940H/s but frequently it drops down to 1870H/s and then rises to 1940H/s back and so on.
Average hashrate (15min) is 1915H/s.

I am just wondering, because my Vega 64s with the same setup/mod have quite stable hasrates around 1980H/s +/-3H/s

This my setup: Vega 56 with Vega64LC bios to 1408/1100@905mV (regmod) and August 23th blochchain drivers
"gpu_threads_conf" : [
   { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 2016, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
   { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 1736, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
],

Any ideas?

Thanks and cheers
make sure you have fan RPM enough to keep memory cool.
and gandalf's cast xmr does better with vega56 than xmr_stak

Meanwhile:
-I flashed the V56 back to stock bios
-removed all reg-mods

-Tested with xmr-stak -> same behavior NO constant hashrate.

-Downloaded and configured cast xmr and make it run with the stock & unflashed V56:
-> constant hashrate Smiley
-> with stock V56 hashrates above 2000 H/s possible. BUT it gets quite hot and more than 200Watt per card - undervolting etc. required Smiley

I guess the behavior is related to the combination of V56 and xmr-stak.

Seems like a normal difference between 56 and 64(~3%)? Considering theres over 10% more shader cores on 64, 56s with 64s bios do well.

Maybe your 56 cant handle 1100hbm? I have 2 64s, 1100 and other is 1065 hbm capable.
You are right, Vega 56 is slower than Vega 64.
But this is not what I am complaining about.

I am complaining about, that the Vega 56 is going up and down in hashrate: between 1870 and 1940H/s.

And I repeat, its not carved in stone every vega can do even 1100mhz hbm Wink Cool it down or lower the clocks like suggested.

Temps are okay around below 60°C.
I testet lower frequencys for GPU and HBM2.
Even I flashed back stock V56 bios... (hashrate is between 1060H/s 990H/s)
-> Same behavior :-/

Hi,

I have got a question...

Actually I have one with 3 VEGA 64, mining XMR 1408-1100@905. Power consumtion for the whole rig is around 520Watt.
I have a 850W PSU "evga 850 g2 supernova".

Now my question: Does it work out to add a 4th VEGA to the rig with that one 850W PSU?

Thanks and cheers

Oskar


Only if it is Platinum-rated.  Otherwise, if gold rated, 80% rule of 850 is 680.  680-520 = 130 headroom for another Vega, I wouldn't do that on mine.
Thanks.
I expect around 700W for the hole rig with 4 Vegas, these are just 20W too much... Sad
The efficiency of the PSU is min.92%@220V
This PSU has only 6 pci-e power cables? How are you going to have 8 cables for 4 vega's?
And what if it becomes profitable to mine eth or dual? Then your psu will be not enough
You are right, but this very inconvenient, since the rig is with 4 Vegas (mining XMR) complete :-(
