First of all, I'm talking about Rx 4-5 cards don't know about vegas.
Since version 1.7.0 lowering intensity from what you where using in 1.6.9 or older, gives better H/s
Run SRBMiner, let about a minute & go pressing H every 20-30 sec.
If you see 0 H/s Int is toooo High
If you see H/s going up & down, for example 900 - 700 - 850... Int is too high
In 1.6.9 and previous you have a point where the H/s was the best just with 1 or a few numbers down to the one you give the unstable H/s, since 1.7.0 it is different...
One example:
With my RX 580 4GB:
1.6.9 and previous - Best I = 61 - Setting 62 I have unstable H/s & 0's - About 1000 H/s
1.7.0 - Best I = 54 - Setting 55 or higher H/s go down, 950, 900 but is stable not like before - About 1012-1015 H/s
With my RX 580 8GB, in 1.6.9 best Int was 116, with 1.7.0 best is 100
For Heavy algo you need to use about half Int than with v8
The less the memory your card have, the lower the Int must be
In my tests the best I find for V8 is:
RX 580 4 GB
"intensity" : 54, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 2, "fragments" : 16, "bralock" : 50
RX 580 8 GB
"intensity" : 100, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 2, "fragments" : 16, "bralock" : 50
bralock does not do much & is not very sensitive, using 40, 50, 60 I don't see changes but H/s looks more stable
using new AES does nothing for me so I let the default 0
Expend 30 mintues tuning & you will have the best values for you.
Good info! Thanks.
