Topic: [Cast XMR] high speed XMR/CryptoNight miner for RX Vega GPUs (2 KHash/s) - page 146. (Read 206406 times)

HBCC must be disable on Vega 64 ?
I thought it was necessary

I have two 3-card vega 56 rigs. All cards are the sapphire ones. Short side story, bought these 14 days ago from newegg for $520 and today I see that they are going for $420 on their eBay site and $470 on their main site. So I call them up to see if they do a price match but they would only do 50% of the $470, telling me some bogus bullcrap that they can only do 50% of the $470 price. So just warning yall when dealing with newegg.

Anyways I been reading up on this thread, the one from reddit, and the other vega thread. Using the latest cast XMR is giving me around 5650  hashrate total for my 3 cards(vs 5500 on XMRstak), on both my rigs. Im getting around 590w of power for each rig which puts my cards at around 170w. This is all on stock everything with me only using the settings recommended for wattman (hbm on, intensity -4%, core 950-905, fan 3000-4900, PL -20%). And so far 0 rejected shares on both rigs mining for at least an hour on the new version.

So overall im pretty happy but i'm wondering if i can push there cards to 2050? I think I read I have to put the memclock to at least 1050 which i know most if not all my cards cant do. I would also like to shave off some power which I think should be doable with a little work. I haven't messed with the cards bios but doesnt seem to be all that difficult to do.

you don't need hbcc, just disable/enable gpu

yes it s pool with login & password (password is not important i think)

really ? i had 4 giga ram for 2 vega but hbcc was disable (even if it show enable with no slider), my pagefile was at 16gigas, but when i put 8 of ram then it could be enable

i have 4gb for 4 vega...

set your pagefile to 70go !

Got it to work. Needed to disable Crossfire for HBCC to show on all 4 cards.

16 GB ram is working for 4 cards.

It's my understanding that 16GB is not enough to drive HBCC in 4 GPUs, according to other threads I've read.

I have 32 GB in mine, but have not gotten around to setting up all four GPUs. I will do that sometime this weekend and try to report back.

How do you get all 4 Vega cards to support HBCC?

HBCC only shows up for 1 card for me. Have the Blockchain drivers installed, 16gb ram, 60gb page file.

Does the pool require login? password? could be the issue

OK.
Never goes up above 1830...
(MSI Vega 64 @stock)

Just to reset the HBCC setting the first time to don't get artefact..

I will test 0.6

nobody reply to me

who to correctly enter the pool name ?

cast_xmr-vega -S ssl://europe.monero.miningpoolhub.com:20580

or
cast_xmr-vega -S europe.monero.miningpoolhub.com:20580   not working

Happy mining!

1020/1025 for mem clock seems to be a sweet spot, probably some resonating effect of memory and cpu clock.

The range between 1025 - 1050 seems not to be very effective.

Memory clocks at 1050 and above are more faster then 1025, but depends on the the card if it can handle it.

I swapped another card in my rig and now it won't do the 1900/1900 and settle on 1700/1700. It's happily doing about 1370/1970 instead. Restarted and reset the driver many many times. Really weird. It's basically stuck at the same combined hashrate as before, but I can't figure out why. Maybe the old motherboard is an issue. I can't change the pci express to v2 -- no bios option for that.

i wanna test the miner but

i try with removing ssl://  but no luck  miningpoolhub not supported ?

are you currently working on a Linux version?
If yes, could you tell us what hashrate we are looking at?
Does it go above 1900 range or does it stay 1200-300?

Here is my problem

1. every time i close the miner WATTMAN always reset to default / crash wattman
2. every restart must toggle on / off HBCC to get real speed

- use ver 0.5 of cast AMD
- use blockchain driver aug 23
- use win 10

Anyone tried new AMD driver to see if it does more than 4 cards HBCC in compute mode?

Ok thanks.
Must i test all freq for RAM ?
I set at 1030 yesterday by misstake, and i stay at 1730, instead 1830 with 1025Mh for RAM.....
