Yes the hash rates are too low i am aware. I am running this at stock setting without any modifications. I set this up by referring vega.miningguide.com website, i still have to implement their powerplay overdrivetool settings yet. The reason i am still reluctant is because i am confused. They say not to use wattman at all and most of the videos and guides for vega modify using either Wattman or MSI Afterburner. I am pretty new to this and still learning what to do and how.
Plus there are 2 switches on GPU and i am unable to find what those switches do in what position. No manuals for it can be found.
BTW what should be the stock H/s on a samsung vega and what should be the expected overclocked H/s?
Its meant to be confusing, barrier to entry keeps profit for the rest of us higher
. So that magical switch that is there but not there on any manual ever is a bios switch. your card has a backup bios in case you ruin one. dont touch the switch till you really know what youre doing. vega minings guide use overdrive n tool, you can use msi afterburner i would strongly recommend against using wattman it is a great source of freezing crashing and hashrate drops.
stock hashrates are about 1600-1700h/s overclocked runs from 1800-2000ish depending on memory brand. you dont need todo powerplay tables. you can just crank the memory up and get the 1900+ h/s youll just use a lot more power.
I am aware 1 is a bios switch, but don't know what the other switch does. There are 2 switches on my card, One at the left corner and one near the center of the card (This i assume is the bios switch but i can't tell if it's in overclocked position or safe position by default).
I am currently getting around 1650 H/s in stock, so that sound about right. My card has a samsung memory so i assume it to be good for getting good stable hashrates on overclocking. Will try overclocking and undervolting this weekend. Thanks for the headups about wattman and MSI Afterburner.
Your rig is probably fine, just some bad luck at the pools. The calculators on pools get their results from network stats and not actual pool stats. If the pool you’re on is running over 100 average effort (luck), then you will make less than calc says. The pool I’m on was running average effort of 55-65% last week, so I made 2 times what calculator said, but average effort changes with every block found.
My initial problem of not being able to earn enough coins based on calculators is almost solved. I changed the pool and modified the port number to 5555. I was able to earn almost near to the calculator profitability numbers. Thank you SpceGhst for the help.
