I’m using a vega 64 samsung amd/ati gpu and flash using a samsung vega 56 saphirre and here’s a photo of the oc and straps
this is my vega 64
and this is my flash gpu 56 saphirre
So a lot of things with Vega could be throwing it off. When all else fails, I try a vega 56 bios that is the same manufacturer 64 that it is (i.e. gigabyte 56 for gigabyte 64). It can and has been a riser for me in the past, but you already tried that. Click on those crashes and show us the text, I have one Vega that crashes repeatedly due to a hardware issue and its apparent from the crash text, but thats unlikely. Also, Ive noticed they hate lower voltage so first things first is try 900mV. Lastly your 930 memory is very high, I usually hit around 915 - 920 if its a reference blower card and 930-940 for better aftermarket cards. Lastly, use ss-silver mem straps, not sure which you are using. Heres my settings
Just pulsing what other miners are doing - Ive noticed that despite getting the pool hash I anticipate, I am only getting paid about 75% of my predicted payout from nanopool for Ergo. Since profits have dipped so much, are others considering going back to ether? I’ve found the profitability may be swapping. Love these cards that we can swap between the two and both are efficient.
@ ss-silver Just for tests sake, I compared your mem strap vs stock hiveOS suggested straps, and found that at least for ether yours provide 1 MH/s more and no power increase. Massive help - thank you!
nice I do switch between ERG and ETH still, I am running ETH right now but ERG block time is back to 2 min so will probably be back on ERG soon.
for ETH I run
amdmemtweak --RC 37 --RP 11 --WR 14 --CWL 8 --FAW 12 --RAS 20 --REF 65535 --RFC 248 --RTP 5 --RRDL 6 --RRDS 3 --WTRL 9 --WTRS 4 --RCDRD 12 --RCDWR 12
if they get invalids I bump to RC 38, if more invalids RCDRD 13
@Elysium have not decided if I want to move the rigs or just pay to have them hosted in the US while I am out there, but im sure I would try to build another rig out there, if I can find cards…
I have 2x vega 56 with samsung memory. Right now I have them running around ~190-194mh @ 175w with 1400 core and 930 mem and voltage at 950mv.
Using the straps from the OP
If I try to lower the voltage much they tend to get unstable. Are the straps from the OP still the best option? Should I try something else?
More worried about max hash vs efficiency right now but would still be nice to either lower power or increase the hash.
If you’re not running mem at 847 then there is no use in soc 860; so delete the soc value for starters.
Try with a vdd of 900 just to test if it keeps running. If it does, then you can start lowering vdd step by step; by 10 for example and if stable for 24h then down with 10 again until you get dead gpu again; then increase by 5 by 24h until you keep it alive.
The Sapphire bios is just the same as any other reference card; they even mention it in the description:
Same Bios: AMD RX Vega 56, Gigabyte RX Vega 56, MSI RX Vega 56, Powercolor RX Vega 56, XFX RX Vega 56, Dataland RX Vega 56, HIS RX Vega 56, Yeston RX Vega 56, ATI Vega 56, ASRock RX Vega 56, Asus RX Vega 56
So that should be a good one for your card.

bro how do i reach 150 Mh/s at vega 56, i only get 90Mh/s is it required to PBE one time patching like rx570/580 Series? please help guys i want to reach 150at ergo or 50at eth

I had this same issue (same type of card). Everytime i moved RCDRD down below 18 it would crash. So i tried something different. Moved CL down (this aparently increases voltage to memory - i found this link a good read Complete BIOS Tuning Guide - "Memory Timing Setting" - ASUS Striker II Extreme: Mucho Bang, Mucho Bucks) and increased RCDRD to 21 … this seamed to stabalise the card at a hashrate of 186 (i was on 175 before the changes).

Not sure if this will help your situation, but worth a try. Yeah, these cards are frustrating … suppose this is what makes it interesting.

I think lowering CL doesn’t increase memory voltage; lowering CL means memory needs more voltage.
And if I’m not mistaken, the default CL for Hynix is already 18, so adding --CL 18 has no real use.
I also have one that can’t get lower than RCDRD 20, but as described somewhere above, it is built technically differently than the other reference cards, so I guess due to that difference it isn’t possible to get this particular one a better hashrate.
Thanks this is so helpful! At first these straps performed worse than the Ergo straps but I noticed they enable higher mem clocks and therefore better performance. How did you tune cards with this? I havent been able to reach 1027 on any of my cards (top 1010, some 990), and 1027 seems oddly specific reminiscent of the 847 mem for the 860 soc MHz. Appreciate the help!
1027 is highest value you can run on MEM and stay in SOC state 1028, if you set mem to 1028 you move to 1107 SOC state so just needs more vdd.
here is a slightly slower strap but still runs 55Mh with Core 1040, VDD 825, Mem 1027.

On ERG If you set mem to 846 it sets you to SOC state 847, but since HiveOS allows you to override the standard SOC states I get a little more hash with the 847 mem 860 SOC.

Thanks! I was able to get above 55 MHs with the other strap, but by upping VDD and core clock. Havent fully optimized yet but liking the results.

ERGO mining with Vega 64(flashed to 56 Bios ) and Vega FE
Here is my tested running straps Contribution to the community after a lot of you helped me too.
Note: All cards are Vega 64 Cards Flashed to Vega 56 bios but Vega FE cards are not.
Using the Following Straps will consume around 150 W to 180 W
Stable High Perfomance Straps (Samsung Memory) :

General NOTE:
-
If you are getting a lot of invalids with --RC 36 then change it to --RC 37
-
Avoid any freaking Gigabyte Vega Card 56/64 or Gigabyte Nvidia 30xx or 20xx cards they run really HOT and consume gazillion of Power .
ERGO mining with Vega Frontier Edition (FE 16GB ) Straps:
NOTE: For Vega FE Cards (Samsung 16 GB HBM2 Memory ) Below are the straps
For God’s sake i could not get this cards to go above 166 MH/s otherwise they would crash.

ETHEREUM Mining with Vega 64 / 56 as per @ss-silver
You should get around 55 MH/s @ 100W to 125W
Overclock Template:
CORE @ 1040
VDD @ 810
MEM @ 1025
Overclock Template:
CORE @ 1040

QUESTIONS:
-
For ERGO Mining : Can we get STABLE straps that consume around 110 W to 130W on Vega 64 (Flashed to 56 Bios ) and get around 200 MH/s ???
-
For ERGO Mining : Also anyone with a better Vega FE straps ??

I also want to share my ERGO oc & amdmemtweak with this wonderful community, special thanks for @ss-silver , @Smining570 , @oni
i have 2 sapphire vega (64 & 56) 64 are flashed to sapphire 56 bios
can’t remember which GPU is Vega 64, but i think it’s GPU 0 because it’s need 880 VDD and RC 37 in order not to crash
GPU 0 Tweak
amdmemtweak --CL 20 --RC 37 --RP 11 --WR 14 --CWL 8 --FAW 12 --RAS 20 --REF 65535 --RFC 248 --RTP 5 --RRDL 6 --RRDS 3 --WTRL 9 --WTRS 4 --RCDRD 12 --RCDWR 12
GPU 1 Tweak
amdmemtweak --CL 20 --RC 36 --RP 11 --WR 14 --CWL 8 --FAW 12 --RAS 20 --REF 65535 --RFC 248 --RTP 5 --RRDL 6 --RRDS 3 --WTRL 9 --WTRS 4 --RCDRD 12 --RCDWR 12
can still push it to achieve 200 MHS but i rather prefer efficiency

Guys! I need some help. I’m struggling with my MSI Vega 56 Airboost and I can’t get more than 150mh.
Any advice?
(Bottom one is a Gigabyte vega 64 with 56 bios and it runs ok, maybe a little too high power consumption, but still…).
every card it’s different, for example i’ve 2 power color 56 ref , same bios and same model but have different oc setting to achive same hashrate.
try to up msi core to 1400-1450 and target the mem core about 930 - 960, if you have achieve satisfying hashrate, try to lower the vdd core until it can’t be lower anymore (crash)
Yes, with Ethereum this wasn’t much of an issue, but as Ergo is more power hungry, some cards get up to their (bios) power limit.
So please check your bios version; some of the MSI Airboost biosses are limited to 150W like this one for example:
If that’s the case, you should flash one that has a higher limit.
Or if you can’t check it (or don’t know how), then just flash below bios.
Most reference cards (yes, MSI Air Boost is also a reference card, even if it has some extra red lines on it’s outer shell) have a bios with limit of 165W. I prefer below one for all my reference cards, being 56 Hynix, 56 Samsung and 64 Samsung:
As you can see, on first sight, they look the same, but the biosses differ enough inside for you to end up at one’s power limits.
