I have started building my Vega rif for Ergo. I have 1 Powercolor Red Dragon which runs rather nicely at 190MH/s, I could maybe get the power lower on that? on the ergo spreadsheet some people have about 30watts less for that card and same output.
As with many others the Gigabyte cards are a nightmare to get working efficiently. I understand the power displayed in HiveOS for that card is the overall power consumed by the card so it will read higher than others.
The Gigabyte I have is a Vega 64 OC edition, I flashed it to 56 bios and the power did drop but the hashrate is still well below a regular Vega 56. Like others as soon as I try to alter settings the GPU will show up as Dead. I’m sure there must be a way to get better, or more efficient results on this card.
Any more tips to try for this specific card?
I have a saphire nitro vega 56 to add, but need more power cables to arrive before I can try it out
In the above picture you can see the * on the Gigabyte 64 flashed to 56 card don’t match the OC settings in Hive OS, but they match for the Vega 56, could this be the issue?
Wow! great success! I have been trying various settings submitted from the ergo mining spreadsheet, and finally one combination gave me better results. nearly 50watts less from the wall and 10 more MH/s . The temps are low and seems stable so far. I’, sure I can crank a few more MH/s out of this GPU1 which is a Gigabyte vega 64 OC, flashed to a 56
but as soon miner starts it shows GPU2 detected dead and system reboots.
I tried with 3 other bioses, I also tried with different straps, core clock, VDD at 920.
I have no idea what else can I do. Does anybody have any advice?
Hello everyone! This is my first AMD card after many years, it’s a Vega 56 - Asus Strix with Hynix memory. I read all this post, and from what I have seen this is a bit tough card.
Those are my settings and this is the best that I can achieve after testing “all” the Hynix configs in the topic but I expected 15-20Mhs more on this. Am I wrong? Do you have some advice on this particular card? TY
thats some nice hash and low power silver… very nice.
i ended up going to MSos to try that out , it seems to behave differently than HIVE . Hive was giving me constant api errors and crashing lately alot. tried different routers , wifis nothing worked . same connections and MSos worked .
im trying those latest straps on one or two of the cards but with those straps and same mem and core im not close to that at all. im at least 10 + mhs off . MSos doesnt have an amd-info function like hive. apparently what i put into the tune section thats what it sets it too.
Be warned that 200+ mhs will require alot of power, like 160w+ (in reality 210w at the wall). It may not even be possible.
Also after some time you may get some invalid shares, which means you need to tinker with mem tweaks. Vega are reknowned for being variable, so you can spend alot of time with mem tweaks.
