Mining ERGO with Vega 56 & 64

[Smining570]

@ss-silver

Mem state is set to 3 on all the cards with mem 930-970.

okay, so that explains why i didnt got any benefits from higher mem…970 it is then.

@ss-silver

The reference 56 hash rate dropped when I pushed mem over 1440, and in the miner saw that it reverts back to 1269 when I put any value over 1440.

so thats it then…we are close to limits and optimal setings with mem 970 core 1470 vdd +940, i had it at 960 but im not so sure is that required, could be that a bit lower core and vdd will results better outcome…i havent payd attention too much to consumption yet…thats one variable that needs to be optimal level compared to max hash allso, right?
Good work with getting us all to right direction with these ergo values,i actually dont know how profitable mining this coin is, but i defo want to have my oc template for this algo ready to go when needed

[ss-silver]

ya we should consider wattage… eventually lol

Got the reference 64 (GPU 5) over 207 mh with some different settings

amdmemtweak --CL 20 --RC 37 --RP 11 --WR 14 --CWL 8 --FAW 12 --RAS 20 --REF 65535 --RFC 248 --RRDL 6 --RRDS 3 --WTRL 9 --WTRS 4 --RCDRD 12 --RCDWR 12

So, is the constant table regeneration and drop in hash rate normal?
I didn’t seem to notice it with Nanominer and SRBMiner or maybe I’m wrong.

Tried your latest straps and they work just fine, thanks. I am thinking of lowering my core clock on both cards though so that I can drop my vdd even further. I can’t go lower than 900 without crashing and I don’t like riding my cards so hard.

Anyone know why there is such a huge disparity in the hash rate you can get on TRM, Nanominer and SRBMiner with the same clocks?

EDIT

I finally switched to lower OC on both cards. They are now both working under 130W and at temps I feel comfortable with. Anything over 1300 on the core will require more VDD and for some reason 847 on the ram works better on my strix than 960.

Another question that comes to mind is if you know if TRM has a B-mode for ergo mining? Can’t see it anywhere in their tuning guide.

Good day!

I’ve been reading a lot since the beginning of this thread and, first of all, I’d like to thank you all for the time you take to share your knowledge.

Now, I’m knowledgeable in IT but not that much with anything related to mining. I’m trying the same clock speed, mem, and other values like the ones you’ve provided and it turns out my GPU is crashing less than a minute after applying the values. I have a Vega 56 with Hynix and a Vega 64 with samsung. Both of those cards are running their original BIOSes.

Should I run the strap prior changing the clock, vdd and voltage?

Here are my settings. It has been running without crashing for 24 hours:

Thank you!

[ss-silver]

Hey that Asus Strix card with Hynix is a tough one, I used to have one and it was very picky about straps or would crash.
This is the strap i was using for that card which worked

amdmemtweak --CL 21 --RC 36 --RP 13 --WR 13 --CWL 7 --FAW 12 --RAS 23 --REF 65535 --RFC 248 --RTP 6 --RRDL 5 --RRDS 3 --WTRL 9 --WTRS 4 --RCDRD 20 --RCDWR 14
Just apply the straps in the over clocks so they apply with the OCs

For the Vega 64 it works best if you flash a 56 bios, that will reduce power and make it more stable. I use this bios for the reference 64. Once you flash the 56 bios the settings and strap I posted for GPU5 should work on that card.
This dude wrote a good guide for flashing the vega 64s

[ss-silver]

TRM is just better its the same with ETH, can only get the highest hash for vegas on TRM.

I’m not sure how normal the issue with table generation is, tried nanopool last night and it was same. Might be a TRM thing, would be cool to find a fix for that but I dont know where to start.
Block time has like doubled since difficulty went way up then everyone moved back to ETH so ERGO network hash dropped 4 Th in a day. So since less blocks are being solved this problem is not as bad right now.

[bonezy]

Thanks for the reply mate.

Well, I figured TRM is better, I just have never seen an algo that is SO much better hahahaha.
Why have peeps switched back to ETH? I haven’t noticed any big rise in profitability. I mean, I have my other cards on ETH still cause I want to hodl the ETH but when comparing hash rates on WTM, vega’s just seem to be more profitable on ERGO now.

Also, asking again in case any one knows. Is the a B-Mode for ERGO on TRM?

[ss-silver]

there is no mode for Autolykos2 in TRM
these are the only things you can put in miner cofig.

Eth Profits have not changed much but ERG profits dropped quite a bit in the past 2 days since hashrate skyrocketed and difficulty went up accordingly. I was mining 4 ERG/day last week, cant even hit 3/day with that hash rate now. So last night Eth became more profitable to mine with a 3070, and probably several other cards. Vegas are still more profitable on ERG.

Vegas:
ETH 55Mh = $4.16/day right now
ERG 200Mh = $5.31/day right now

3070s:
ETH 62Mh= $4.69/day right now
ERG 170Mh = $4.52/day right now

[bontho]

Damn man! Just gained 20 Mh instantaneously! Thanks for sharing that strap! I’m now at 168! Hopefully it will be stable.

Just out of curiosity, how much hashrate did you get with the Asus Strix Vega 56?

[ss-silver]

haha nice thats awesome! I sold my Hynix Strix a while ago so it only mined ETH, but it was getting like 47.

Asus Strix Vega 56 Hynix on TRM:

Used generic Hynix straps provided by @ss-silver

[Raz]

This is my best for 6700XT

[Thaimachine]

so u got only vega 64 running ? at 200mhs
vega 56 running 185?mhs max so i read out right?
or did u get some vega 56 to run 200mhs too

[ss-silver]

no the 56s can run about the same.

GPUs 1-4 are 56s, 3 samsung running at 207, 195, & 202, and 1 hynix running at 185.
GPU 5 is my only 64, running at 207.

I updated my top post with my most recent OC settings and straps last night. I switched to nanopool and no longer get rejected shares on the AMD cards with current settings too so thats cool.

[Thaimachine]

lool cant believe that 56 got same mhs as 64 lololol…
so u bio flashed it by urself ?
i run woolypooly and hero and nano…
find out hero is best for now.
i didnt have 1 reject lol 100 000 share 50 Stales 0 rejects

i have bad ping to nano :: sadly they dont have ASIA server…!!! not really … the server is europa i think, they liying about asia server lol 200ping

where do u live ?

[ss-silver]

Yep the vegas are pretty easy to flash in HiveOS, just be sure the 56 bios you’re flashing is from the same model as your 64 and it works great.

I live in the U.S. so servers everywhere lol.

HeroPool has done really well over the past 8 hours, and they are cool, probably the fastest payout. When block time shot up last week I had to wait almost 2 days for my ERG to get confirmed before payout on WoolyPooly.
Confirmations before payout:

• WoolyPooly = 720 blocks (27.4 hrs)
• Nano = 100 blocks (3.81 hrs)
• Hero = 72 blocks (2.74 hrs)
  -Current average block time: 137 seconds

[Thaimachine]

but only samsungs.
same models you mean ?
saphire, asrock and so on ?

[ss-silver]

I’m pretty sure all Vega 64s have Samsung memory. But brand only matter for the non-reference models. All the 56 reference bios are “113-D0500300-102”, there are like 10 brands listed with that bios.

But if the card looks different from that ^
you need a bios for the same model such as the Nitro + 64 should have a Nitro+ 56 bios flashed on

[ss-silver]

@hotness nice OCs here, was just trying to reduce wattage and was not expecting +3 Mh by dropping the Hynix Mem from 930 to 900. Wish I could run vdd that low on my MSI Airboost

[hotness]

I tried 900 vddc to get core to 1420, but it only gave me 193 Mhs at 152w.
With my current settings I’m getting 191.8 at 141 Mhs, so I’m pretty happy with that efficiency.

I have 3 more Vega 56 and 1 Vega 64 coming this week. Hopefully they are samsungs and can hit 200 Mhs at around 150w.
