SUS has promised a driver update to do so 4th qrt 2017

when i add a 9th VEGA, 2 cards run at almost half speed (buss conflict), is there any solution aside from the awaited driver update?

thnx

Probably won't happen, due to driver limits, unless AMD updates their "blockchain" driver to support more than 8 cards under Win 10 - or IF they ever get around to releasing a WORKING driver for Vega under LINUX.

Do you guys read previous posts??

AMD drivers are updated since 17.11.1 release. I currently run 17.11.4 with 12 AMD GPU on Biostar TB250-BTC Pro using Windows 10. You just need to select in AMD settings Gaming/Global settings/GPU workload/Compute, instead of Graphics on each of the AMD cards

But the miners are still looking specifically for the blockchain driver version to support HIGH hash rates on VEGA.

Perhaps when Cast and Stack-XMR get updated to no longer look for that specific version to get large page support....

Whats the trick getting the "ASUS B250 Mining Expert" working with 19 GPU ?

I get half the cards in and it will not boot, all PCI cables have dedicated Power plus capacitors and kept as short as I can get them
each GPU has a dedicated TT 480watt 12v GPU PSU

CPU lane limitation?

How's the biostar tb250 btc pro?

I've been using the old tb85 and very stable, no problem, so considering staying with biostar.

Very good until now, stable and easy to setup. Also good placement of pci-e slots, comparing to Asrock H110.

any news on getting the ASUS B250mining expert running more than 8 VEGA 64's at stable peak performance ie 43.7MH/s?(which is what i achieved on all 8 Cheesy

45.5 also possible)

i know ASUS has promised a driver update to do so 4th qrt 2017

Also, Vega is a lot better off on Monero than on ETH - it's BEAT badly on a hash/$ basis by the RX 470/480/570/580 cards at recent pricing, even if you CAN find a Vega somewhere at something close to MSRP.

28+ Mhash for UNDER $250 (and sometimes getting down close to $200) > 45 Mhash for $450 at MSRP and WAY MORE at current pricing when you can find a Vega at all.

hi guys, I have used he z270 sli from MSI and as long as I put 2 gpu directly into x16 slot it mines OK, however as soon as I use the pcie extender, miner reports error. Did anyone have this problem?

Currently I have a mix of directly 2x plugged in GPU and 1x plugged through extender. The miner will report error on the 3rd connected through extender and mines only with 2 gpu-s connected direclty to x16 slot.

I used mintcell extender.

Did anyone encountered this problem and solved on their own?
Thanks!

How's the biostar tb250 btc pro?

Can't speak to the Pro, but I had to RMA the 6-slot version; constant PCIe Bus errors reported by Windows (first/only time I've ever seen that). Hopefully the replacement will fare better, but I also heard similar horror stories when asking about it elsewhere.

Driver update is live, use 17.04 or 17.11. Latest 2 of them works. You just need to select in AMD settings Gaming/Global settings/Compute, instead of Graphics on each of the AMD cards. I already use 12-13 AMD's on Win 10

i am looking for minable motherboards with remotely manageable features outside the O/S, like servers. Does anyone try it yet?

Not yet, but am very interesting.

About topic, Im using now Asus Mining Eypert MB. It cost me like 180 USD in EU and working great. Its for 19 PCIe slots and absolutely loving graphical interface after boot, which showing which card is good/bad and also BIOS. Im using Ubuntu on it.

wow never seen it, does it out-of-band? Based on your answer it looks like it is not. There are some individual modules on ebay for this through IPMI but nothing clear yet. Without it, you are at the mercy of BIOS during reboot when remove accessing it.

atm there is MSI z170 with 7 gpu and also 8 gpu with (m2 to pcie), but i read need bios custum mod not official release to run 8.
and asus z270 A with 7 gpu and also 8 gpu with (m2 to pcie) i don't know if need some mod to enable it, but i dind't read anything about it, maybe not require update.

Got 2 Asus prime Z270 A running for weeks, no probs, no need for custom bios, just usual settings, 4G decode and pcie gen 2 if I remember exactly. Using them with 8 gpu each, 7 pcie + 1 M2.
No errors, no hassle

My choice forever Gigabyte 970 ds3p with am3+ socket, cheap, easy to find CPU(aliexpress 5$ athlon II) cheaper DDR3 ram and works fine with 5GPU. My rings use that motherboard, uptime few weeks. Recommend.

For mining suitable even older motherboard. I built my first rig two AM 3 motherboards. Each allows you to connect 4 GPU. All the equipment cost me $ 100. Additionally bought a power supply for 8 GPU + GPU. Only one H81 worth as much as how much I spent on all the equipment. To connect to it only 6 of the GPU.

Have somebody problem with MSI Z170A Krait Gaming 3x. Work only 3 cards of 6.

The Z170 boards are not too good for mining.. max 4 cards.. they have memory lane limitations.

bs. Using Z170a SLI pro and 6 out 6 cards working.

Best Boards of 2017 IMO are:

H270-P and Z270-P by ASUS

and Biostar TB250 and TB350.

TB350 being based on AM4, goes well with AM4 X4 950
TB250 being intel, goes well with G3900 (since its cheaper than the kaby lake counter and you can run win 7 or 8 on the skylake G3900)

TB250 Build

I have 4 rigs with Z270-P and it never caused any problems.
It is also well-documented and there are lot of guides how-to at Youtube

Thanks for your support.
