Thanks for sharing your findings. It is strange to see people jumping on your thread aggressively, trying to stop you... If they have really better strategy, why are they angry about you? Doubting about their real motivation...
For me, I still prefer mining some minor cryptonight coins hoping to have better gains but I am very interested by your experimentations on eth: it is always better to have more options.
By the way did you manage you goals with vega FE on cryptonight?
I hope you will continue your thread...
trying to find the time for more trial and error
using only one FE i have succesfuly coded 4 threads which are being recognised by the miner without fail
i have tweeked the intensities for each thread in an diminishing scale
playing around with memory alocations, batch sizes etc
almost there but not i dunno hahah,
and yes i will post the info here FOR FREE when i get the first hashrate confirm on all 4 threads
This is great, if this works it will make mining accessible and profitable to almost everyone, not everyone has the willingness/financial possibility/knowledge to build a multi GPU mining rig, but almost everyone ca buy a PC with a Vega FE GPU in it and start mining.
You sir are doing great work here, please keep it up, I never considered mining until I've read this thread because I don't want to build a multiple GPU mining rig, butiIf this works I'll buy a VEGA FE PC and start.
Thank you!
I thought this was really interesting today, since if your're mining for real you might want be actually mining to make real money everyday.
Based on a 6 card Vega rig ETH Hashrate = 275 <-- extremely overclocked mem
Based on a 6 card Vega rig Cryptonight Hashrate = 12020 <-- Lightly overclocked mem
ETH estimated rewards over 24 hrs = 0.0244 x $837.9 = $20.44
BTC estimated rewards over 24 hrs = 0.00290 x $8326.0 = $23.72 (just using nicehash)
Thanks Whattomine!
Also Free Wisdom from Geek Mark who showed you can have 6 Vega FE's running now at 2100 H/s per card without much OC'ing (1100mhz mem) getting 12,390h/s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUrt7DgSiDMAlso new update from CAST XMR shows a 1% performance boost for FE cards
Cast XMR Version 0.8.5 (2018/02/07)
- 1% performance gain for Vega Frontier Edition with Blockchain driver (fastest GPU around)
- 1% performance improvement with current stock driver (18.1.1) for RX Vega 56/64 (40% to go to reach Blockchain driver performance)
- fix for random blocking console output
- GPU now always logs with its device id not the order they are listed in the -G argument
- --log option to log console output to a file
- remote access includes CORS support in HTTP header
