New Linux Driver for Vega

Why Linux kernel so old, could it be updated?
4.15 already backported for debian stable and includes amdgpu drm for vega

@nikolobok

Be patient. Work in progress

Что в итоге - можно веги запустить то или нет?

Is there any roadmap for supporting VEGA cards?

I Hope that Vega Support comeing soon

Is there any update hive support Vega in coming update?

We really need this support…

vega works but no fan so they get hot and also not crypnonight since still stuck with speed

no my vega works not … not only the fan … i see them as Card “Radeon RX Vega 8176M” but xmr stak do not find them

Yes, i have the same problem now…

Me three! Vega support should be possible soon, no?

Hi,

Does anybody know when HiveOs will support RX Vega cards?

Did some of you tried to install the official driver to run these cards on HiveOs?

Thanks.

VEGA works only at x8 or x16 PCI-E slot with Gen3 settings

Oops, just bought Six Vegas for my next rig. I didn’t realize they weren’t working with Hive OS yet.:confused:

is it possible in future to solve the compatibility hive os with amd vega cards?
how long it will take? thanks a lot

I have my Vega running now with direct attached x16 pcie Slot …
But The Performance ist Not very nice … Ist there a Tip die Tuning ?

Linux world win the race - Vega now supported. But “Yes” some issue presents …
Don’t know when Vega full-support comes to HiveOS

I tested the Vegas with the latest version of HiveOS. The cards are recognised, xmr stak and claymore’s dual miner see the cards and start mining.

However, overclock / down-clock and down-volt settings don’t work. It’s not viable to mine that way. The the fans barely spin, the cards run very hot and they burn electricity like crazy.

Waiting for the fixes to add my Vega rigs to HiveOS. In the meanwhile, only my RX 580 rigs are on Hive :confused:

I need to fight with the bloody Windows 10 updates every few days :’(

Hi everyone.
There is a way to control Vega cards.

In Claymore use this config override:


-tt -75
-fanmin 75
-fanmax 85
-ttli 68
-tstart 60
-tstop 70

Overclock doesnt work from website. You can do it from SSH with comands.
To overclock memory use this comand:


echo ## > /sys/class/drm/card#/device/pp_mclk_od

- percentage of overclocking. For Vega 56 you can use 18-20, some Vega 64 work with 5-8.

card# - this is a card number, starts with 0 or 1 (if you have integrated videocard).

After you apply this comands, card will change it’s Core State to maximum level, to undervolt your cards you can use this comands:


rocm-smi --setsclk 0
rocm-smi --setmclk 3
rocm-smi --setfan 200

rocm-smi --setsclk 0 (this comand will set Core State to lowest level)
rocm-smi --setmclk 3 (this comand will set Memory State to maximum level)
rocm-smi --setfan 200 (this comand will set Fan Speed to about 80%. To set fans to 100% use 255)

If everythings works, you can create file with this comands and make this file executable after boot.

First you need to create file “oc.sh” in a directory “/home/user/” with this comands:
Change directory to “/home/user/”:


cd /home/user/

Then create file “oc.sh”:


nano oc.sh

Then type this in first lines:


#!/usr/bin/env bash
sleep 15

Then add comands, for example:


echo 20 > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_mclk_od
rocm-smi --setsclk 0
rocm-smi --setmclk 3
rocm-smi --setfan 200

Your file “oc.sh” should look like this:


#!/usr/bin/env bash
sleep 15
echo 20 > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_mclk_od
rocm-smi --setsclk 0
rocm-smi --setmclk 3
rocm-smi --setfan 200

Then with “CTRL+O” you will save file, then “CTRL+X” to exit. After this you have to make this file executable with this comand:


chmod +x oc.sh

Try to execute it with comand:


bash oc.sh

Wait for 15 seconds and you should see, that overclocking applied.
Then you have to add comand to execute “oc.sh” after boot.
Use this comand:


nano /hive/bin/hive

Scroll down to the end of file and before this line


echo2 "> Hive Start Finished"

you have to add line


bash /home/user/oc.sh

Then with “CTRL+O” you will save file, then “CTRL+X” to exit.

If you did everything right, after boot your overclocking will apply.

Curious for those that have tested this, are you able to get 1800+ H/s on CryptoNightV7? In windows one must disable/enable each card after each reboot or it is 20% slow. I assume this is a non-issue with Linux?
