Update RX6800 February / 2021

last thing i didnt try is to force a new version of AMD drivers on HiveOS, cause if you look to the drivers they using in their build, its not the latest version available on AMD site.

here is a post talking on how acheive that :

Just not sure of the result and if HiveOS image will like it since they dont use it… but im getting almost to that point !!! if any1 can try it and let me know if it works !!!

I should to say you need to know it.
AMD drivers since 20.45 used pci-e atomics. That’s mean that GPU need to be installed in PCI-E Gen3 or higher port. Also due changes in drivers structure Vega / VII and Navi (5000 series) not usable in mining on it.
So according to above I don’t understand why you need 20.45+ drivers which not about mining in most cases? If you looking to hashrate then I need to upset you - NO, hashrate will be the same.
Also I wrote it’s many time that OpenCL it’s only library (one of driver component) and not full AMD driver.

hi i would like to know what version drivers you use to make it work on windows

Windows 10 still a better platform for mining using this card vs linux.

So far, the best possible combination is the 21.4.1 AMD driver and PhoenixMiner 5.6b. Use MorePowerTool to lower core voltage to 612 mV and tune accordingly.

I just got a new XFX 6800 QICK, and with the Beta Image I can not get the card to mine. I do get it to be recognized in HiveOS but the other card a rx580 starts to mine and the 6800 just sits there.

edit - I switched to TeamRedMiner and the 6800 started mining. Running stable at 60.5

You must use stable version for RX 6800… It has already been solved here.

I hope we get better support for the RX 6800 in June. 63 MHs at 110w would make me leave Windows for sure

Hello , i don’t understand why but i have one new rx 6800 and hiveos won’t start with , there is an issue when hiveos is launching the AMD GPU drivers , just after i have a kernel panic .

All my other AMD card are well working ,

i tired with another motherboard but always with Hivos and the same , kerel panic.

it is a the starting of hiveos.

Thanks you for your help

Which HiveOS version are you running? Have you tried the latest versions?

Here are my settings.

My best 6800 cards get 62.5

My worst gets 59.3

But after reboot sometimes its at 61-62.

These are my most stable settings and took lots of tweaking

In case reading this at beginning of your journey -
If I could go back before I bought any 6800s … I would only buy 5700xt instead - get all the bios modded from this guy website (You just telegram him and chat, send him $10, and he logs into your rig and takes care of all your 5700xt and 5600xt bios and settings). His modded 5700xt get around 55mh. which is 7 less than the best i can get my 6800s and use 30 wats less power and can get much cheaper)

Good luck guys/gals


Dashboard shown 160W rig power usage
It’s real power usage that I got with wattmeter and adjusting rig settings to show real power usage on dashboard. Without GPU rig consume 30W average from the wall on idle state.

Hi neca, nice Hashrate and low consumption. I cant get an stable rig, Wich miner do you use and wich version? Do you think that the version of HiveOs will affect? I will share an screenshot of my actual config where you can see the miner and my HiveOS version. Please tell me how to lower the watts. Thanks.

I use teh Beta Image https://hiveos.farm/install/
BETA

In the latest HiveOS update there is “reworked BigNavi OC - need AMD kernel module v5.9.0501 or later” how do i update to that version? i tried replacing HiveOS version with hive-replace command but i still get the older version 20.40 (5.9.0325), can anyone help?

Same issue here, and after I updated the latest os version. I am having some problem with 6800 so I actually have to downgrade to the previous version.

I still have some problems, i don’t know why but my cards are not doing well, i think that the problem is SoC Frequency, i even tried to force it to 960 mhz but still nothing

HiveOS 0.6-205@210715
AMD Driver 20.40 (5.11.0701)
TeamRedMiner v0.8.3

both AMD Reference cards

Can someone help me? i see a lot of people reaching 61 Mh/s without problems and even the core voltage, i tried to set 625 from HiveOS but if i see the miner log it shows 718 mV which is still better than the previous cap at 781 mV but it could be better, any help is appreciate.

Repeating what I said before, can be useful for others:
For the first card: SocMhz = 600 which is too low for 61+ mhash. This is caused by SOC TDC limit of 30A in the vBIOS. Can be solved by mining in Win10 and using MorePowerTool. Or in the future in MMPOS (update coming soon as told to me by dev).
For the second card: VDDCI of 750 might be too low, try 775 or 800. If that does not work, try setting MVDD to 1275.
Since both cards dont have the best silicon as you can judge from SoCMhz (which should be 960 for good silicon cards) I assume it’s a voltage issue on the memory controller too. So for the first card you might need to raise VDDCI too but thats useless now cause of the SOC TDC limit.

(Hope Im allowed to say this and the message will not get deleted because of mentioning the competition)

Hi Gasico, how did you manage to update your Kernel to 5.11.0701?
Total noob asking -.-

through Hive Shell using hive-replace command and replacing the current version with the latest hiveos image

TDC Limit fix implemented.
I answered to @Gasico in other topic what to do
