Question for you guys.

I have a new card a Vega 56 Powercolor red devil. Samsung memory.

When I try to apply a powerplay table the card becomes "not a valid gpu" in OverDriveNT tool and pulls a error 43 in device manager.

I never came across this before any thoughts, i have applied the power play tables many times never saw this error on other cards.

Any thoughts.

In addition I find that the 120 intensity for vega 56 and 64 in SBR is the best do you agree?
first try without powertable.

second you sure u use good .reg file and change this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]

mybe your card not 0000 mybe is 0001 0002 *Huh

vega 56/64bios - v7 intensity/worksize : 112/16 or 120/8
heavy : 56/8
lite 235/8

for other  algo etc arto-aloy see my  old post


Thanks for the help..yes it works fine no power play, I checked the number and it corresponds to the reg file. Do you have a link to a vega 56 powerplay that you know is good I will check this next. Is just strange after I reboot and it read it it in no longer good. Hashes fine under normal stock drives but use a lot of power.

try this:

http://vega.miningguides.com/p/faq.html#TDRFailure
https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/74hjqn/monero_and_vega_the_definitive_guide/



Update: Still no go..no matter what powerplay table I try to apply, it throws the cards into "gpu not supported" and error code 43 in the device manager, if I  dont apply the PP table they run fine. I have another rig same cards run perfect...maybe ill do a reinstall of windows...at this point im at a loss.

I don't know this is bug from new driver or from your miner, but my RX 560 identified as RX 470. Make srbminer crash and still not sure what make this happening. I will continue from my side, i am not sure if new driver make my OC not stable or something else make your miner not stable. But still curious about that bug. Thanks!

Get some update. Try less agresive OC with more voltage and make thread setting in RX 560 from 2 to 1 make it stable now. Not sure what make my previous setting not stable in this one. I think something in driver make my oc less stable and not sure why i need to make thread in RX 560 become 1.

    ]
]
}



Changing the pools tree structure is not necessary (and harder for everyone else)
{"pool" : "xxx:111", "algorithm" : "heavy" ...... }
should suffice. Algorithm would be an optional property, as the setting would be taken from config normally.

Since each algo would have different settings, instead of algo, you could also go for:
{"pool" : "xxx:111", "config" : "config-heavy.txt" ... }

This shoots two birds with one stone.

If this is implemented, the job json could also support: "_SRBMiner_Algorithm" : "heavy"  to dynamically switch, so no API with write support is necessary because proxy's can append it in the JSON (The added _SRBMiner_ is to avoid any namespace collisions until a standard can be agreed upon by the miners and pools)

Giving API switching capability is good but it brings added burden to Doktor Smiley Proxy's could handle the switch until a "write" API could be programmed by Doktor.

Edit:
Actually this naming convention could be used for algo negotiation:
https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/blob/master/doc/STRATUM_EXT.md

Edit2: This is basically an extension to stratum protocol, employed by XMRig, but there's no reason why SRBminer cannot support this! Using watchdog, SRBMiner can easily restart to switch to new algos, this not only provides unattended algo switching for hardforked coins, but also shall provide coin switching using proxy's.

When an algo negotiation is initiated and a new algo is required, watchdog could restart the miner, so no API programming would be necessary. The only problem to solve is to decide a way to do per algo config, which shouldn't be hard, really.

algo can't really be switched at the moment without restarting miner and re-initialising buffers.

You need good timing straps to reach 1k+ on CN-V7.  8gb cards can do 1k+ on CN-Heavy easily.  
I have also got 1260 H/s on an RX 570 8gb card (1466/2300 clocks).  They do 1140 H/s @ 1250/2240 clocks and 900mV core (105w from wall).  So it's pretty much possible.

Also, All 4gb cards that I have Elpida, Hynix do 1k+ on CN-V7.

I want to see that...
Can't get more that 700h/s with Elpida 570 pulse 4gb (with stak and SRB)

RX570 8gb 1260 H/s on CN-Heavy (i posted this some pages back)

6 x RX580 4gb cards  + 1 RX570 8gb (GPU4).


Great performance! ..

Could you please share your MOD BIOS for these cards?

V1.6.0
+ As some have issues with miner 'just waiting some time' on startup, i added more logging option so we can catch where it hangs, and i can possibly fix that
Reproduced
[2018-06-10 02:38:44] Heating up system, please wait...

[2018-06-10 02:38:43] CryptonightV7 mode enabled
[2018-06-10 02:38:44] DevFee pools loaded
[2018-06-10 02:38:44] DevFee pool SET
[2018-06-10 02:38:44] DevFee address SET


ok, now i know its not the new devfee method that is problematic.
But i would suggest to try now a previous version that you know was working good.
Nothing was changed in the new version in the GPU's initialisation process (this is where it hangs), so my guess is something at your side is causing this.

Comparing his log with mine:

[2018-06-09 13:52:22] CryptonightV7 mode enabled
[2018-06-09 13:53:46] DevFee pool SET
[2018-06-09 13:53:46] DevFee address SET

I don't have the "DevFee pools loaded", maybe is this what is slowing down my startup.


well then your firewall is probably blocking srbminer.com domain, and it cant get the devfee pools from online. add an exception to your firewall for the srbminer.com domain.

I think this too
I set firewall to allow all (Firewall says is disabled)
Added an entry to srbminer expressly allowing port 80
Also added srbminer.com to trusted sites
But no changes

I'm preparing a usb stick with W10 to test this & the self close after the 4th retry when using max_difficulty

I have results...
First of all, I'm using Server 2008 what is about the same than W7
I completely removed my firewall & now:

[2018-06-13 05:04:02] CryptonightV7 mode enabled
[2018-06-13 05:04:44] DevFee pools loaded
[2018-06-13 05:04:44] DevFee pool SET
[2018-06-13 05:04:44] DevFee address SET
[2018-06-13 05:04:44] Starting init of mining threads

Devfee pools are loaded but still taking too long to start, about 42 seconds what is best than previous 78 sec.
This does not happens in W10

Also the self shutdown of SRBminer after 4th reconnect only happens in Server not in W10

The good part of Server is that with the RX 580 4GB I can set intensity to 61 in V7 while in W10 I can only set 59 loosing some H/s

When running start.bat, command line window appears and closes after a few seconds.  No error shows and i also opened a new cmd.exe and run the SRBMiner-CN.exe directly, the command line just throws two empty new line and returns to folder.

Add pause too the bottom of the .bat

pause

like that

Baz


Code:
Press any key to continue . . .

c:\SRBMiner-CN-V1-6-0>

My card is R9 280x which i build today and the driver is Adrenaline 18.5.2
check your config file syntax. I'm sure that you have missing commas or something like that inside.

what memory and what clocks?
Samsung 1250/2050.

thanks

not sure whats up but sometimes i get 1100h/s on Heavy on my samsung and sometimes 1000h/s

when samsung does 1100h/s my micron does less and sometimes other way around
cant get both to do 1100h/s at the same time

GPU0: RX 570 4GB Samsung Memory
GPU1: RX 580 8GB Samsung Memory
GPU2: RX 580 8GB Micron Memory

Hello, what's worksize and threads do you use? (on your RX 580 8GB mircron)

Code:
{ "id" : 1, "intensity" : 54, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 2},

Also, All 4gb cards that I have Elpida, Hynix do 1k+ on CN-V7.

this is correct, my 4GB Hynix does 1k+h/s on CN-V7

Question for you guys.

I have a new card a Vega 56 Powercolor red devil. Samsung memory.

When I try to apply a powerplay table the card becomes "not a valid gpu" in OverDriveNT tool and pulls a error 43 in device manager.

I never came across this before any thoughts, i have applied the power play tables many times never saw this error on other cards.

Any thoughts.

In addition I find that the 120 intensity for vega 56 and 64 in SBR is the best do you agree?
first try without powertable.

second you sure u use good .reg file and change this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]

mybe your card not 0000 mybe is 0001 0002 *Huh

vega 56/64bios - v7 intensity/worksize : 112/16 or 120/8
heavy : 56/8
lite 235/8

for other  algo etc arto-aloy see my  old post


Thanks for the help..yes it works fine no power play, I checked the number and it corresponds to the reg file. Do you have a link to a vega 56 powerplay that you know is good I will check this next. Is just strange after I reboot and it read it it in no longer good. Hashes fine under normal stock drives but use a lot of power.

Ok this is very nice but a few questions:

- What mother board you use?
- How do you overclock your bios? and what overclocking tool you use?
- To confirm your GPU 1250mhz/900mv Power Memory: 2020mhz /900mv?

Im not jealous of your results but similar cards and spent days tweaking it and cannot break 1000
My memory is Micron and Hynix.

Motherboard doesn't matter - cause I use two separate asus z170p and z170a boards and results doesn't change.
I don't overclock in BIOS.  I use ODN tool.  All states except P7 and P2 are disabled.
Each GPU is different some need 912 mV at 1250 while some are okay with 875-887 mV on core.  I usually keep P2-mem 887 or lower.

Notes:  
Whenever I set 912mV on core and 887 on mem the actual core voltage hovers in between 887-912.  more likely at 900mV.  
You need good timing staps else you would require very high OC to cross 1k.

And what parameters (intensity) you use?
SRB miner specific
Intensity 59 and dual threads.  8gb card at 116/118.

Thanks man, will check this out, i used polaris auto timing straps, maybe this my issue
