Yep, i managed to squeeze out more hash on Vegas, i will try to do even more 

If you have a Vega, and want to mine V7 algos, use Adrenaline 18.6.1 drivers, if you want to mine Heavy algos, use Adrenaline 18.3.4

Great job! Thanks, Doc!
1.6.2 was worse for me, now 1.6.3 is better than 1.6.1, especially on Vega64. 8 cards give 17320 vs 17076 on 1.6.1, CNv7

Going to fix readme,thanks.

Btw, when you enter a non-valid algo it returns you valid types:

cryptonight_type can be : [normal, normalv7, lite, litev7, heavy, bittubev2, artocash, alloy, marketcash, b2n, stellitev4, haven, fast, italo]

Guys, please change the readme.txt algo section:


Not BitTube V2.... its BitTubeV2 (without the space). With space, the miner wont start.

1.6.3 version for my RX 560 2Gb produces 15-20 less hashes.

i get around 200hs more on 4 vegas on cryptonight-heavy. nice work

Its strange but happened..

What is the pre heating trick?

I tested in 2 pcs with one vega56 and its ok   but on vega64 have the problem i mencioned in this version.
In version 1.6.2 a mine with vega64 in 158x hashes 

Could be the 18.6.1 drivers?

Thanks


my config:

{
/* Type can be : normal, normalv7, lite, litev7, heavy, ipbc, artocash, alloy, marketcash, b2n, stellitev4, fast, haven */
"cryptonight_type" : "bittubev2",

/* Intensity 0-> auto intensity, or value from 1-300  */
"intensity" : 0,

/* To use 2 threads per card set double_threads to true  */
"double_threads" : true,

/* THERE ARE A LOT OF OPTIONS/PARAMETERS YOU CAN USE HERE */
/* YOU CAN FIND THEM IN THE README FILE */

"min_rig_speed" : 1500,

/* Advanced settings for each GPU manually */
/* Put in devices that you want to use, if you for ex. don't want to use gpu 2, just don't insert it,like in this example */
/* Id starts from 0 , not from 1 !! */
/* To get a list of available devices with their id's, use --listdevices parameter */
/* This is just an example, edit it and remove comment lines !! */

//Máximo que dá vega 64,  é 63 de intensity no heavy!! a partir de 62 perde performance!!
// Maximo vega 56 é 57


"gpu_conf" :
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 62 , "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 2}, //  vega 64:::   61 - 1555  é 62- 1585 63 - 878 de intensity no bittubev2!! a partir de 62 perde performance!!
//   { "id" : 1, "intensity" : 40, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 2},
//   { "id" : 3, "intensity" : 30, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 2},
//   { "id" : 4, "intensity" : 90, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1}
]

halleluiah!
I should write somewhere a notice I wrote a notice that 'don't copy new version of miner over old one, or if you do make sure you delete .srb files before running it'.
Great, now someone with RX550 could test.

But kernel files didn't work from 1.6.0 on 1.6.3 - this means that you deleted them... Maybe something wrong with kernels builded by 1.6.2... I didn't deleted them...
For me the fact is - 1.6.0 running with 117 intensity gives 1040 h/s, 1.6.3 with the same config gives less. Now will try to delete srb files and compile new ones...

EDIT: Problem solved by rebuilding kernel files on 1.6.3. Now speed is the same as on 1.6.0.

Hi Doktor.

Good work with last 1.6.3 and Vega64, but now I have my 580 with less hashrate.

Vega64
1.6.2 at 2090 Hs
1.6.3 at 2120 Hs

Rx 580
1.6.2 at 930 Hs
1.6.3 at 910 Hs

Thank you

I can't replicate this, as when using the 'pre-heating' trick on bittube algo i get a hashrate of ~1580hs and it stays like that for hours +- a few %.
Also no one else reported this here on the forum except you, but i have a few people i know they mine bittube and don't have this problem.

Hi dok! Little trick for get hashrate on new drivers same as on blockchain drivers. Setup old blockchain beta drivers, clean up the cache folder, start SRBMiner, after compiling kernel file stop the miner. Setup new drivers like 18.5.1 or latest and start SRB. Hash rate will be same as on blockchain drivers and less power consumption.

Hi doktor,

Nice job,

Testing version 1.6.3 with heavy and cryptov7 i got better hashes in vega (30hs more)

Using the bittube v2 algo i got a less hash , 900 hs.. instead of 15xx..

I tell about this problem some posts ago even in prevous version after a time the hash drop a lot , in bitube algo.

Can you check your kernel for this algo.

Im on 1709 windows version and using 18.6.1 amd drivers 

Thanks

ya, i will try, thank doc
btw, someone should buy for you a white lab coat, haha, can't wait

After testing 18.6.1 a little more, i can't get heavy algos hash at speed they used to on 18.3.4, the 'pre-heating' trick isn't working at all.
Is it just me or  ?
V7 hashrate is increased tho.

... try intensity 68, this is how i set for cn-v7 (samsung 580 8g 1300/2050)

Ouch. Im testing Vega on 18.3.4 version, it's really stable for me.

On v7 all of my cards , 470, 480, 570, 580 4gb or 8gb they all get the same speed on every launch, this is how it was in earlier versions too, only heavy had this 'have to run multiple times' to get max speed thing.
I changed almost everything in this kernel like it was in 1.6.0 for Rx cards, also nothing that has impact on intensity setting has been changed since, i don't know last 10 versions, so if 116 was a good value in 1.6.0 it should be a good value now too, i don't understand how can't you set it to 116 as before.
I also used the fragment value you wrote earlier here as a default for 580 8gb, you said you get the best results with it.

For me it's interesting that on a few xfx 580 8gb i have, even not on the same rigs, i can use the same settings on v.1.6.2 as before , and get the same hashrate as before. But i havent changed or tried out new drivers or anything on these rigs, cause they are mining rigs, the most important is that they run always stable, so i stick to a driver that is proven to be good/stable.

Win 7 or Win10, doesn't matter, blockchain drivers installed from day 1.

So i basically just upload a new version of miner when testing to the rig, copy the old config files and run the miner.
This way using absolutely everything same i can know if something is better/worse.

Vega56 REF AUG23 driver
1.6.2 5648h/s
1.6.3 52xxh/s

Sad. IDK why my rigs can't stable on new driver. Anyone vega here? which driver u using?
