Can't Do anything with Your Vega 56 mining Rig?

in #bitcoin6 years ago

Now, don't panic.

I was merely sharing my observation. My main mining RIG is basically still a gaming PC for me. It has an R7 2700X and two Powercolor Red Devil Vega 56.

I initially set XMR STAK config for each GPU to have two threads with 2160 and 1800 intensity each.

I found out that using those configs I cannot browse or even plays HD video. Curious, I thought, as I surely can do them when my rig was still powered by an RX 580 8GB.

But when a gpu stopped mining when I did that, I tried to reduce the intensity to 1700 each. It worked, I can browse and watch videos again. Then I increased the intensity to 1750 each. Still working. Then I increased the intensity to 1800 on the first thread. Still working. At this setting I observed that the second thread of each GPU each hashing at the same hashrate, so I don't increase the hashrate further.

There you go, if you found out that your PC is having problems allowing you browse while it's mining, try reducing intensities. Logical, but sometimes we forget.
