The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

26k is the holy grail for gfx score. Don' think I'll get there at 25500, 500 points seems a little to big a target. Would love to see someone get it.

I' sure I was at 259xx on the old pc but I can' get those clocks on the hardware annoyingly.

A little late to the party here, but I've been able to get over 26K on my V64 (air BIOS, water cooled) on various drivers (17.8.2, 17.10.3 and whatever it was that Windows 10 Fall Creators Update foisted on me) with P7 set at either 1732 or 1737 and HBM between 1095 and 1130MHz - the latest run I did was on 17.11.1: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/23093053

So.. i think its my PSU, its only 700-watt. I just ordered EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1200-Watt one that should be delivered on Wednesday. But what whats happening is that after about 2-3 seconds of trying to render any 3D application/Game my system hangs to the point i have to manually power cycle my PC. Im hoping its not the fab quality of my VEGA chip itself and that the new PSU will resolve it, however I am open to any suggestions as ya'll helped me resolve an issue i had prior with this card. Oh and any idea why i don't see the Compute switch like everyone else is seeing in the new AMD driver? Thanks :D

edit: oh i failed to mention Im also running an overclocked Ryzen @ 1.37V 3.9GHz and GTX960 in secondary PCIe

Judging by what my setup can draw (it's similar to yours minus the GTX960) I reckon you're drawing more than 700W from your PSU at peak load - if you're going to max out those components you'll need that new PSU.

Agreed, i was trying to avoid on ordering new PSU before putting my V64 on water but it realized that if i want the performance gain ill have to spend the extra $$$ that's why i went ahead and ordered the EVGA PSU. plus my Ryzen is overclocked @1.375v so when cpu usage spikes up Im sure it doesnt help the 12v power draw

yep a few have beaten it, old news now really, 26k is a fantastic gfx score for Vega64 so congrats indeed, well done. Ill bench again at 1700mhz+ again soon and try and push past but just been happy enough were my card and system is now.

This the best I done, this was only stability test to be fair on new hardware. https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/14045488/fs/14348525
 
Since all this Monero mining talk is going on , I wanted to ask the more experienced/semi-casual miners, should I bother mining with my Vega 64 LC? To make it profitable, I need to earn roughly about 8-10$ a day with about 8-10 hours of mining.

Should I even bother (as someone who's just used Nicehash to mine and receive some BTC with my 1080) ?

between my Ryzen 7 CPU and AIR converted to LC V64 and i7-6600 on my laptop mining XMR Monero is bringing me about $7-$10 if i mine full 24 hours, so unless you have 2 LC V64s i dont think you can make that much on single vega64 in 8 hours

Thanks for your response buddy :) Yeah there's nothing preventing me from 24x7 mining, I just don't want to risk wearing out the card entirely considering I might have to go in make a lot of tweaks to keep pstates/TDP down. It all seems way too complicated for someone like me who doesnt know anything but Nicehash, to give it a go. I am getting a feeling from Miners these days that it might be a good time to get into Monero right now.

NP. Yeah i got burned by NiceHack, and now mine with miningpoolhub.com they mine many different coins and you can set it up to have them converted to BTC. It did take me a little bit to set up the miners but im making almost double of what i was making with NiceHack rebuilding my BTC from ground up :(

Can you give me some information on what and how many hours you're mining => what it's resulting in?

I really need some more information before I even think about going down this path. My 1080 mined just fine for a long time (I made about 6-7$ in 10 hours) but once when I stopped Nicehash mining, I saw a green line flicker for a quarter of a second and it scared me a lot, since then never mined hehe. I would really love to get into CC and just have like 8$ a day that makes up for small expenditure in India easily. As like a disposable income.

Well, in last 6 days i made 0.0035 BTC with gaming approximately 3-5 hours a day (turning off all miners on my desktop). I mine XMR Monero with my Ryzen and V64 using XMR-Stack-CPU miner on my Desktop and Gaming laptop and Cast-XMR V64 GPU miner on my desktop (CrptoNight algorithm) and Monacoin using the GTX 1060 in my gaming laptop and GTX960 on my desktop using CCminer (Lyra2RE2 algorithm) your 1080 should do very well with the Lyra2RE2 algorithm. If you want i can maybe make a video of how i have mine set up when i have time. Or you can just wait until Nice Hack is back up lol

Would really appreciate that! :) I dont have my 1080 anymore, I switched my whole Nvidia + GSync setup to go into the AMD ecosystem.

I can't get anywhere near it anymore on the LC bios (56 card) I used to smash 26,000 on the 64 air bios with previos drivers but can only get 25,500 like you now on the LC bios, even at 1750 core, 1100 or 1175 hbm , it just wont do it

Interesting, I wonder why that is. Well, I hope AMD fixes that on the next 17.12.2 release. I wish AMD had better drivers like NVIDIA, I must say I never had so much driver related problems with my gtx1060 on my laptop or my gtx960 on my desctop until I decided to step over to the dark side(AMD). Really wish AMD had drivers as stable as the competition, but I will say they have came a long way from the vega launch drivers

Just want to add my 1 cent. With a little background. After using PC's with P4's and no GPU's to using HD 5450 on my i3 laptop to going on an iMac with HD 6970M, then obtaining my first high end PC build in 2016 with my first Nvidia card (GTX 1080) , I'll ignore my 5450 and 6970M experience because I was too young for that, I had heard so much about AMD drivers that I went into Vega very well knowing I might be in for some kind of a sub-par experience.

But, to my pleasant surprise, the drivers are stable and fine for the most part (atleast in my narrow EXPLICITLY Nvidia heavy titles like the AC series, Metro, Far Cry etc) they work just fine, I had no crashes whatsoever. In about 1 month I've had practically just one crash that too when I was alt-tabbed for a long time and it gave me a GPU suspended DX11 error. I've only faced minor irritations like Radeon Overlay sometimes not working, Overlay causing stutters in certain Unity titles i.e The Long Dark, enabling HBCC setting crashes/restarts the PC.

All in all, considering how low my expectations were, I'm fairly surprised how stable the drivers are considering I've been hearing people ******** on the AMD driver stack for the past 6 years. It's kind of crazy how I've used AMD my whole life without even realizing it for the most part, so I'm happy like that and felt SO GOOD when I got rid of my 1080 + GSync panel which was PERFECTLY adequate. I got offered a 250$ more expensive panel (XB271HU to XR341CK) , I was perfectly happy with 75Hz and was drooling for an UW panel, so I immediately switched.

I also am kind of surprised how varied the problems are with both manufacturers. Some % of people just run their configurations fine without any issues, some face so many different issues it's hard to track what's going on in every individual case. i.e I hear half of the people with these new Samsung HDR Freesync 2 panels complaining about constant Flickering and on the other side I read some posts about users saying "Ty AMD , my Freesync 2 monitor has no flicker anymore because AMD/Samsung pushed some firmware updates".

At the end of writing this post, I've just gotten more confused as to whether the AMD driver stack is as good as Nvidia or worse or better really. :x
