lets ask for the third time - is anyone getting errors like this: "GPU COMPUTE ERROR" and how do you stop it - by lowering temps on a card or by reducing memory clock?

maybe you can try a few changes and report back ? I did see some of these errors when pushing the cards beyond their limits. Don't remember what I did exactly to fix them.

Yeah, I was going to do that, but wanted to check if someone knew what is it

As my other rig has no such issues, but I have only 64s on it.

I guess one or all 3 56s I have here don't like the 1100 memory much, but its running almost 48h stable now, and don't really want to mess with it before its needed.
But I am losing like 1% results because of this error on the other hand ...

I'd start by dialling back the overclocking on all cards to 1080 and see if they all hold at that, then one by one increase them to see if they hold 1100. Personally I prefer running all cards a little below the max, mixed opinions on this but for 24/7 running I don't think it's wise to push the cards especially reference Vegas with the pissy drivers and high temps.

For me card temps weren't related to the GPU COMPUTE ERROR, as long as the cards were clocked stable high temps only reduced mining speed in my experience.

Hey everyone, i am new to this forum. Out of 6, one of my vega 64, when installed BC driver and after running PP registry, went full throttle on fan speed, and windows error shows up showing gpu temp overload and my system hangs. Its just with one card, no matter what i do, on normal driver it works fine, but on BC driver its creating this problem. Is my GPU faulty, should i return it ?. Please help

Start by dialling back the overclock/undervolt in that card. Not all cards can hold the same speeds/voltages. One of mine always runs 10% slower than the rest. I change the tach lights to blue on the weaker card/s that way when new drivers are installed or different mining software used and the order gets messed up you can track the weaker card easily

Have anyone tried mining with vega frontier edition? Wondering if the extra ram helps with running XMR?

its a faster card but the normal third party tools eg afterburner etc don't fully work with it, ie control voltage also drivers limited to blockchain and FE builds so people would say not cost effective

They are now $700USD on newegg. Assuming vega 56 does 1800h/s at $400, if these do 3000h/s they will be worth $700USD.

It has double the ram, but does it double the hash rate, or does it become compute bound first?

I agree software control might be tricky, if it does 3000h/s I dont mind Grin

Thanks. I was able to edit that batch file and it's working well enough. I seems to hang and have a few errors when I've tried to execute it though. Like one time it disabled the cards, but then only re-enabled one of them. It doesn't happen every time, but I'll keep working at it to see if it's on my end.

I'm still running at full speed now after a whole day of mining. I have nicehash and a couple nvidia cards on this board, but if I run any of them it kills the speed on castxmr. It reallys sucks, but it appears you gotta keep your AMD cards on a dedicated board running just one algorithm if you have Vega's. Every time any other nicehash window pops up I notice the decline.

This is disappointing because I have an ASUS B250 Mining Expert board in the mail right now and sold my Biostar to my friend. It supports "19" cards so I was hoping to be able to throw all my cards onto this one board.

How many Vega's have people successfully ran on one machine? Most builds I see comprise of only 4-6 Vega cards.

And is there any news on a updated version of the blockchain drivers coming in the future? I've tried a few of the official releases that supposedly added the compute instructions, but they had really bad hashrates.

using cast xmr sometime now, so far so freakin good ! got free electricity so i follows gandalph guide for 2050h/s (running 56's) at -10% 990 ram and +13% power. anyone managed to find a sweet spot for bigger gains but higher power draw? experimented many many settings but with no luck... best of is 10mins at 2110h/s but it crashed or pixels screen

Is that with the 56's running the 64 bios? It wasn't clear to me if that was factored in at all.

No bios or registry modes.pure 56 with casr and gandalph guide

1. add virtual memory, 16gb per card
2. Make sure you use 23aug blockchain driver
2. re-enable both cards in device manager before mining
3. use cast-xmr miner
4. make sure your temps are below 70 degrees (both gpu and hbcc)

Thank you very much. increasing VM fixed the error message, now running consistent 1975 h/s per card without tweeks using default cooling on the blockhain driver. Still connected to onboard video (Intel). Wondering what I'll get with HBCC enabled. For some reason it crashes my AMD Settings prog as soon as I try to change it to anything.

You doesn't need HBCC for high mining speeds. Old tricks with HBCC was used as switching HBCC was causing card re-enabling that solves internal driver paging bug. The same can be done with just disabling and then enabling the card in device manager.

How well does Vega mix with RX5xx GPUs?
Thinking of switching some of the weaker cards for my new Vega's while I wait for the new mobo. How well do they actually play together? I'm using the blockchain driver already...

I run one Vega 56 with 3 570s and 2 580s, no problem.

Thanks but what driver are you using?

Does anyone have experience running VEGA 56s with RX 470/480 series cards? Please correct me if i'm wrong but from what i've read the series makes a difference too.

I'm also 4x vega 64's, 1990 or so (though i am on lc if that matters). You can definitely get that wattage down if you care. I had zero problems with the reg mod (from hella). Definitely worth a shot if you have an hour or two to spare.
I've yet to test the new stak, but want to get that cpu up and running as well soon. Hopefully push out another hundred h/s and check if it's worth it.

How? I'm mining ethereum at the moment and the best i got is 170w for vega 56 flashed to v64 bios (difference between load wattage and idle)

If i lower the core voltage it increases the power draw.

I still can't reach the power draw of 130w for vega 56 like hellae

The reg mod for the flashed vega 56 is causing gpu core to run at 1410mhz and even if I reduce it to 1210mhz it still draws 977w at load for 4 cards. Idle is about 130+w.
I'm using the common setup of g4400, 4 Gb ram.

Another thing is, i can't change the hbcc ram level at all. The slider is Greyed out and stays at 97xx mb.

You will need 8gb of ram to activate hbcc using Wattman. I've heard it can be done by disabling each card in device manager then activating again but I haven't tried thisywelf as I had bought an extra 4gb before that fix was found. Still not attempted the reg mod for the power consumption yet. Currently running 4x Vega 64s at 900W 1950h/s per card

I'm also 4x vega 64's, 1990 or so (though i am on lc if that matters). You can definitely get that wattage down if you care. I had zero problems with the reg mod (from hella). Definitely worth a shot if you have an hour or two to spare.

Excuse me for being a newbie, I am pretty tech and hardware literate, but when it comes to creating batch files and software coding I've had practically no exposure beyond some basic HTML for websites.

I found this: https://pastebin.com/Q0rGa0QS

I think that's a complete batch file that I'm looking for, but I'm still trying to figure out how to properly edit it to function completely automatically with castxmr. It's set up to run with xmrstak.

I got it to work and it starts castxmr, but it doesn't load my payment address when it starts and it also doesn't restart on it's own when the hash falls.

You create a separate Start-Cast .bat file with your payment address (see the Cast thread for running the --help command).

Then you change one line in the PasteBin file:

FROM THIS:

start "XMR-STAK Unified" xmr-stak.exe --config config.txt

CHANGE TO THIS:

start Start-Cast.bat (or whatever you named your Start-Cast .bat file)

The PasteBin file points to your Start-Cast .bat file, that's all you have to do.
