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

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.

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

This sounds great and that is low voltage at 905 only but does this require very low temperature or would air work maybe also.  HBM2 temp gauge shows much higher temperate then gpu temp sometimes so I wonder if its a problem.
I think over 80c the card is not stable at high clocks.  Its liquid cooled so I presume its a factor, if I can keep HBM2 in the 60's will that be low enough to get the same results I wonder or it needs lower
I set my Vega56 with Vega64LC bios to 1408/1148@900mV and it is happy stable mining xmr 2kh/s. I set target temp 50 degrees, fan is 2400-2800rpm, hbm temp is 65-67 if we can trust HWINFO64 ...

Guys, if you have good memory cooling cards there are some good news.
Original idea from overclock.net's gupsterg and Nuke33 and me.
We found a way to overclock HBM2 memory further.
All is done via softpowerplay.
Seems it can oc stable to 1150-1170 mhz.
eth speed goes to 46.2+mhs (old 44.2).
xmr goes to 21502050+h/s (old 1990).
It is Vega64 LC 1408/1150@905mV
No other tweaks except memory speed boost applied.
Consumption increase is negligible.

Crimson 17.10.2 drivers are here.  Includes compute mode toggle in global settings.

Anyone tried to see if hbcc is working better in this driver yet?

http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-17.10.2-Release-Notes.aspx
Relase note mentions up to 12 GPU for compute workloads possible.
I wonder if this includes HBCC
My vegas are in the mail so cannot test myself yet.

Win10 fresh install. After installing new drivers all cards remained as Basic display adapters in device manager. Smiley
So, installed 23aug blockchain drivers instead new ones.

look for the 17.40 drivers they say beta but the work great on my 3 vega rig 40 eth 150 lbr with 1090 mem

It would take a brave man to try 12x Vegas :-P

The Power draw would be insane!!

Disclaimer! This is only tested for few hours. No responsibility if you'll burn you cards.
Disclaimer 2! With mem speed higher then 1150mhz seems to produce fake hashrate. Meaning that memory errors lead to less found shares. Pity we have no tools to track HBM memory errors as we have with polaris cards.

Good afternoon.
Prompt please what dual-miner you use and what profit as a percentage of the usual miner on the monero only.

Hi guys,
For now I am spent almost two weeks to get running 8gpus vega 64 on w10 and monero / eth mining.
I am was unable to turn on hbm2 on more than 3gpus and the xmr-stak is unstable as hell. It withstand only 4hours of mining before the whole system freeze. Even with 1408/905, 945/900 and intensity 1500/1500 system will freeze. For option 4gpus for monero and 4gpus for etc it will survive longer. For etc mining on all gpus its better, but times to times some of the cards show 0mhs in claymore and no longer after that, will system crash.
Core temperatures are just bellow 57degrees.
So my config is asrock 110btc+, 8gb of ram, 150gb of virtual ram, 2x evga supernova platinum 1700+,cpu celeron, ssd adata 256, powered risers ver6., 10x sapphire rx vega 64 limited edition (only 8gpus are connected due to driver limitation for now)
My older rigs with 1070 are stable for months, so I am starting be angry with that...

After hours of troubleshooting I found that my asrock h110 pro btc becomes unstable when I use the x16 slot even with USB riser.
I plugged all cards into x1 slots and all is working fine since then. Try to leave the long pci-e slot blank.
There is no such problem with the older pro btc mobo.

Someone have tested jet NEW AMD 17.40 drivers for vega? What about hasherate on eth?

Almost as good as BC driver. 0.5-0.8MH/s slower than with BC. But you can adjust clocks and voltages in the wattman.




yup i tried these as well since with blockchain drivers i could not turn off crossfire which was throttiling the other vega card.

I plan to update all my AMD rigs to this new driver

Wow, time to go check on all those Vega rigs :-)

SO i did have everything up and running wattage was still alittle high but i can live with that.
then some how i lost everything.
 Have  done:
---DDu
---Reinstall blockchain driver
-- it took a few uninstall and reinstalls to pick up all cards again, Some showed up at RX vega(tx) in device manager.. any reason? now they are all back to just RXVEGA
i have 9 folders in my registry now.... do i need to remove some?(and how)
and Stak miner keeps getting blocked from accessing graphics hardwars error message>
Try clean uninstall. Remove all registry folders and start again. Your cards were added on new registry keys with default settings.
