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

So I wonder which BIOS did you use to flash your Vega 64 nitro to Vega 56? I read somewhere else that another user killed his gigabyte 64 when attempting to flash 56 BIOS on it, so I guess this is not universal and there is trial and error involved.

It is definitely not universal.  You need a bios from the same mfg at least.  Get one for your nitro from here:

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=AMD&manufacturer=Sapphire&model=RX+Vega+56&interface=&memType=&memSize=&since=

The 2017-12-18 version is working just fine for my nitro 64s.

If anyone knows how to set the core and memory voltage in the START-AMDMemoryTweak.bat i'd be very appreciative if you shared - thank you!


afaik, cli version of amdmemtweak doesn't do clocks/voltages.  overdriventool is probably still the best option for scripting those settings on windows.

Can't seem to find any settings to tune gpu clocks/memory/voltage and fan speed. I want to move from phoenix miner, but this miner seems to not have this settings. Can anyone confirm this?

It will come in the future. But Teamredminer has more shares on poolside yet, so change to teamred. I changed all my miners from phönix and claymore to teamred and effective hashrate is higher.

i confirm:

9 * RX580 NITRO + SE / 8GB straps || 1H10 TEST

PheonixMiner: 303MHS / 247 SHARES
TeamRedMiner: 297MHS / 299 SHARES


yes is even more with the claymore straps in memory;) straps + TRM = currently

But still a lot of work, I can't wait to see the evolution

Assuming windows...
For clocks, voltages, mem timings, and fans, you can use AMDMemTweakXL
Or if you want a console alternative, you can use OverDriveNTool for clocks, voltages and fans, plus AmdMemTweak (not XL) for timings.

To reset your fan after mining, you can just set up a fan profile that appropriately adjusts to temps (the miner even supports this now) - or, if you're on Windows, you can just add a line at the end of your miner bat that calls ODNT to reset the GPU (or even load a different profile), eg:
Code:
"C:\...\OverdriveNTool.exe" -consoleonly -r0
(change '0' to whatever gpu number(s) you need)

To say there is 'a lot of work' is a little misleading.  This miner does what it's supposed to - it's the fastest at hashing, and many would prefer that we continue to allow the devs to focus on that part.  Of course, others want an all in one package, so as the user base grows, the devs of course acquiesce and add in these tangential features as requested, but do realize that these efforts take time away from what really makes this software special - these guys have by far the most/deepest knowledge of how to squeeze max performance out of AMD GPUs

please help me to configure tmr, all cards are 8g polaris cards windows 10. 
rx480 = 26mhs and rx 570=19mhs, for 570 it is very low,claymore was getting 30mhs on rx570
dont know how to do it, since claymore dead looking good miner please help me. please share bat file, thanks

same here, rx570 4g = 30mhs but rx570 8G = 29mhs, phoenix was getting 31mhs on 8G

well you got good results. im happy for rx570 to get 28-29
how you getting 30mhs? im getting fucking 19mhs for rx570 core1150 mem=2050
core 1150 mem 2050 too, i download trm & run it, dont do anything else except change wallet

i did not do nothing just download and run. it auto tunes to A275 something like that and final results are rx480 26mhs and rx 570 19mhs fucjing. or is it your cards are bios modded? i cant mod again these cards way to many. anyway back to phoenixminer looks like not many people are using this shit teamredminer anyway, no help from developer no manual nothing, this miner sucks

Way to be a complete ingrate.  TRM is great software.  You wanna know what sucks..you as a miner.  You blame and ridicule miner authorrs when it is your problem.  TRM currently getting 30-31mhs on my 5xx series amd cards. 

I would help but your attitude is so bad i dont care what happens to you.  Enjoy.


So you are smart as$.. miner good for you. i dont need your tips, i can do it myself but i dont have time to make search and read all forums where to find because i need to go work i have no time for searching. as good people can share to configure when help asked but you people are very greed and dont like to share and want keep it yourself. so who attitude is bad? i blame devoloper because there must be manual that explains to configure not just sayin = polaris cards allready configured look for yourself, well devoloper could safe miners time just adding text how to configure right? anyway i dont care what happens to you too keep your help into your ........

Those using Ubuntu/TRM what are you using for fan speed control?  I have it working but looking into controlling the fan speed now:)

Thanks

I've been using the PPT for years - it works perfectly for maintaining target temp on both polaris and vega.  For navi, it works fine if you want to control for junction temp.  The problem is that mem temp is usually the concern, so i have to set the target junction temp really low, but when ambient drops, the fans slow down and mem temp skyrockets again. There's a bit to select which sensor you're targeting (edge, junc, or mem) but it doesn't seem to work in current drivers Sad

Re: lolMiner 1.11: AMD Miner for Ethash / BEAM / GRIN / Ae / Tube / Equihash & more
by

Running LOLMiner 1.11 with AMD drivers 20.9.1, on a Windows 10 system with just an Rx 5700 XT 8GB, and an RX 470 4GB cards. Lol miner runs fine, and hashrates are stable, but 100% of shares are stale.

Here's my bat file.

Set “COIN=ETH”
Set "WALLET=walletaddress.worker" (YEs, my actual wallet address is in the actual bat file.)
Set “POOL=us1.ethermine.org:4444”
Set “PASS=x”

Everything looks great, it appears to be working, no funky parameters in the bat file, but 100% stale shares. I have Phoenixminer, Claymore, and TeamRedMiner, all of them work fine, so it seems to be specific to Lolminer.

Any ideas? Clues? Adminishments?

There is no ETH 'coin' option, and the algo option is ETHASH.

Check
Code:
lolMiner --list-coins
lolMiner --list-algos

Hello guys, your help would be aprreciated  Smiley

I have few vegas64 reference samsung memory on me (gigabyte, powercolor, amd) and unfortunately have a hard time setting them to be as efficient as they could

First I tried amdmemtweak with hiveos but couldn't get the results I wanted not even close, still was about 250w from wall (in this post all wattage will be from wall), so I switched to windows 10 and started getting more interesting results as I went through almost every page in this thread (thanks for sharing your settings btw)

Bassicaly I'm aiming on low power consumption because my electricity isn't that cheap here - 0.16$/kwh

These are my best results

--CL 20 --RAS 30 --RCDRD 14 --RCDWR 6 --RC 44 --RP 12 --REF 11700 --TRFC 260
https://imgur.com/a/bPlLOdi

- I was getting 47.2 mhs, 175w draw, after 3 min it always drops to 46mhs but it's stable

I wanted to get lower with power consumption as I found out one guy in our local forum posted he is getting 42mhs with around 100w power draw on his vegas 56, so I flashed one of my vega64 to 56 bios and applied the exact setting as he did, the hashrate was exactly the same around 42mhs but i got only to 165w

Here you can see the settings
https://imgur.com/a/M81meD4


I can see some users getting very nice results with 50mhs+ and low power unfortunately the discussion ended
would someone please be able to help me out with some vega 64 timings and clocks and maybe ppt tables to get power usage below 200W at wall? been getting 48mh @200w from wall from each card, i imagine i can do better.

Settings in pic run ~168w/GPU including idle ATW (120v, 1600 plat PSU).  amdmemtweak params are --RAS 30 --RCDRD 14 --RCDWR 6 --RC 44 --RP 12 --REF 11700 --RRDL 4



Thanks mate ill give them a run. im on windows though and dont think i can get voltages down that low without powerplay tables? think its capped at 900mv.

You can use ODNT to easily create a PPT similar to my clocks/voltages listed on the right.  Only difference is that you may need to use mem P2 set to 1028 (and lock out P3), in order to take advantage of the power savings of a reduced SOC clock.

Btw, if you really want to get crazy, there's been a lot of noise about flashing a 64 w/ a 56 BIOS (yes, the reverse of what most people have been doing) to get higher hashrates at lower power.  Not sure which models this actually works for tho, and haven't tried it myself... yet.

i'm getting 54Mh (samsung) and 50MH (hynix). 930W on the wall for 6 vegas (all flashed 56). 900W on the wall, plat PSU.

I will study more and want to play with core and mem control more but I dont understand it fully yet and always when I change it, it lowers hashrate and draws more power  Grin , I saw some users setting OD_SOCLK and also values for OD_SCLK, OD_RANGE under linux, I also downloaded ODNT but can't see these settings there also when I apply first amdmemtweak then odnt the miner just won't start (im using TRM) ...  Could somebody please share their low power cons setting for vega 56/64  or advice me which values shoud I try tweaking , thank you very much


Vega 64 Samsung
---------------
In short, try the following for a 50-51 MH/s setup:

1) Set clocks to core clk 1075 MHz, mem clk 1107 MHz, voltage at 850
   mV. Your card may need to clock down the mem clk to 1050-1080 MHz
   to be stable with no hw errs.

2) Use the following modded timings:

   --CL 20 --RAS 30 --RCDRD 14 --RCDWR 12 --RC 44 --RP 14 --RRDS 3
   --RRDL 6 --RTP 5 --FAW 12 --CWL 8 --WTRS 4 --WTRL 9 --WR 14
   --REF 17000 --RFC 249

3) Hopefully it runs stable and you should observe a hashrate around
   50.5-50.9 MH/s. If your GPU can't handle the timings, you need to
   relax them to less aggressive variants available in the AMD mem
   tweak thread on Bitcointalk, or come join the TRM discord for
   further suggestions.

4) For better efficiency (but lower hashrate), tune down your core clk
   and try to further lower voltage while remaining stable.

5) We reiterate: _blast_ your fans and monitor your HBM temperature.

Unfortunately, this will never be efficient / low power as the 1107 mem clock also requires an 1107 socclock, which eats power.  That's why i run at 1028 mclk, and why flashing to 56 bios is even better.  Besides dropping your actual mem voltage ~100mv, i believe the 56 bios also uses a different set of timings which make the 900-950 mclk range quite performant, which means socclock can be run much lower too.

what are the command line options for turning off GPUs withoute using a config file.  i.e claymore ytou can do -di 0,1,3  and phoneix its -gpus 123

also how do i get the strap from claymore to apply via this miner , on 8 gig cards i can run claymore first and disable its gpus then run team red

but on 4 gig cards this wont work due to the dag in two places ?

use -d 0,1,2... for device selection (also e-N or d-N in console while miner is running to enable/disable)

amdmemtweak is best for mem timings

Yeah I try to run conservatively as in not going for max hash but best power efficiency:

TUBE = 1.35 kH/s pool side for 160w at the wall

tube-haven-heavy give 2000+HR on any vega (56 or 64) and use etc 150W per cards
etc: 1 rig 6*vega56hynix = 960W at the wall = 12200kh etc
1 rig 4*vega56 samsung = 720W at the wall 8700kh etc

I dont use a dedicated mining rig.. its in a PC and has to drive a monitor and be able to do productive work in the day time - hence stable clocks. If you can tweak better - kudos but its a ballpark  Undecided

Also quick reference - 1 vega 56 on whattomine:



FYI, WTM defaults are using stock GPU settings - nowhere near what an actual tuned GPU should be running.  Those numbers are INCREDIBLY inefficient.

It's a tool called AMD Mem Tweak.  You probably want the REF parameter specifically.

Why are you even here - whats your goal?  You’re constantly spreading completely baseless BS, and clearly have no clue on how to tune GPUs/miners.

Go away troll.

Truth shall set us all free - share your source code to prove I’m full of shit!

a) I’m not one of the devs - I’ve just been using this software for >1.5 yrs now, and the devs competence and trustworthiness have been more than proven at this point, unlike yourself.

b) if you don’t want to use closed source software- that’s a reasonable position.  So go use something else and keep your BS allegations to yourself until/unless you have some proof.

For miners that don't fully trust the displayed hashrate or that the communicated dev fee is correct, I would argue that the best way to verify poolside/dev fee hashrate is with fake pool hacks, much like the one we built ourselves for ethash, available on my github. It sets a low diff, the miner you want to test submits many many more shares compared to a normal pool, and after maybe 12h you have a very accurate picture of the "poolside" hashrate of the miner you're testing because you'll have submitted 500,000 shares by then and get a much much more accurate data point than looking at a 6h or 24h average on some pool for 1000 submitted shares (which really means nothing tbh).


I had better idea to prove my findings .... tested the hacked releases of 2 VERY popular ETH mining softwares and noticed my hash rates went up almost double compare with using the original ones!

Shocking, eh!!

I didn't understand, why all start to mine kawpow. It uses more power. Eth algo gives more profit.

Like pbfarmer said, RVN looked significantly sexier just a few days ago. It's also a very fresh algo addition in TRM as well with the new release, and imho the first and only public progpow implementation for AMD so far that can compete with Team Green, especially for the 7nm gpus like VIIs and Navis.

Right now, and if you trust whattomine and with some ballpark nrs for $0.06/kwh, a VII doing 80 MH/s ethash at 180W and 40 MH/s kawpow at 300W gets you $1.26 net for kawpow and $1.04 net for plain ETH. Nicehash ethash says net $1.21, but imho it's hard to realize the full 100% of your hashrate on Nicehash due to rejects. Now, change those $0.06/kwh to $0.10/kwh and it most definitely shifts into ethash being the best choice. My point is more that there are situations where kawpow is a rational choice, but yeah, for most people there are other factors to take into account (power cost, heat/cooling etc).

It’s not the 1st for AMD - there are at least 2 more before theirs!
Also, don’t forget 2% TRM fee for their fresh algo addition compare to their ETH fee - probably more unless we actually see their source code!!

Yeah!  And all you dum-dums should still be using Friendster/Myspace, AOL dial-up, and horse-and-buggies while you're at it, cuz they were first too!

Also, forget about the fact that you can easily verify reported hashrates - this guy says you're prob paying hidden fees, so it must be true.

/s in case it wasn't obvious

I had always assumed at least a 10% discount vs the NH reported numbers on WTM.  However, at least for me, over the last couple days - they've been almost dead on, if not even slightly conservative.  Maybe WTM is doing their own internal adjustment, or NH rejects are way down?  (my TRM reported rejects *are* incredibly low - in the 0.1% range)

That being said, RVN is back to crushing NH/ethash at the moment, even w/ my rates.

I didn't understand, why all start to mine kawpow. It uses more power. Eth algo gives more profit.

Up to a couple days ago, rvn was more profitable.  Lately, eth does better on NH (at least at my rates of >.10/kwh), but not necessarily on normal pools.
