Nvidia mining is done with CUDA commandsEdit: If it were the mining software alone, I would expect issues with my NVidia rigs too, and I'm not seeing that.
This would suggest Virtual Larry's mining GPUs perhaps have been BIOS modded.Yet they are buttery smooth, cool and quiet, as gaming cards. Both are in mini-ITX systems on top of it. Seems like there is a common factor in your difficulties I don't have here, what could it be? You should just stick to team green for mining bro, the gods have spoken.
I will note that the XFX you sent me required a good cleaning and new paste and pads. You were upfront about the condition so it's all good. The performance bios on it was nerfed, and my buddy said he had to flash it. Considering how pimp my XFX 6800 is, it fosters questions in my mind concerning the effects of mining on RDNA2 far more than driver versions.
If I remember right Nvidia cards are very difficult to BIOS mod, requiring signed BIOS images. Allows cross flashing from different models, but no complete custom jobs like we get for AMD.Edit: If it were the mining software alone, I would expect issues with my NVidia rigs too, and I'm not seeing that.
The odds of a stock BIOS on a used 5000 series card is very low.I have two mining rigs with AMD RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 cards, as well, and both of those rigs are "dead" within a day of each other, within a few days of updating the drivers to newest Adrenaline a few weeks ago. They had been mining for over a year straight.
I would argue modifying the card with warranty voiding performance enhancements and then running the card full tilt in the mines for 4 years is what does it.Could it be mining with the new drivers that kills it?
Nope, mine are all stock, purposefully, for potential resale.This would suggest Virtual Larry's mining GPUs perhaps have been BIOS modded.
You still destroyed them through mining and nothing else, you provided zero nada proof that it was the drivers, just empty anti-AMD bs.Nope, mine are all stock, purposefully, for potential resale.
Beleive what you want, but those cards were bought new retail, and I never flashed their BIOSes.The odds of a stock BIOS on a used 5000 series card is very low.
Yea we will believe whatever we want if people can't provide proof and are just showing their biases.Beleive what you want, but those cards were bought new retail, and I never flashed their BIOSes.
That is unlucky. For some reason I thought you purchased them refurbished.Beleive what you want, but those cards were bought new retail, and I never flashed their BIOSes.
My 4x RX 5700 XT cards in server chassis #2 were all bought new, my 5x GTX 1660ti single-fan cards, in server #1, were indeed bought refurb, for around $230 ea. That's the only rig left running, right now.That is unlucky. For some reason I thought you purchased them refurbished.
My mistake.
In theory, any 3rd party soft can load and create pp table copy from vbios, including nicehash plugins. But drver update procedure will delete it anyway and get back to the bios table.I sincerely doubt a VRM would simply suddenly go bad 1-2 months after a driver came out due to powerplay table changes in the driver - the extremely restrictive limits preclude that possibility
You were definitely mistaken. Different driver version, none of the RDNA cards are bricked, RDNA2 cards status is still unknown. Perhaps wait until all of the facts are in instead of pulling out the...what was that mat called again?Well, I decided to try to fire up the 4x RX 5700 XT rig. And guess what? It powered on, which is better than it did after it "died". Nicehash reports 4 GPUs, which means that 4 are being seen in Windows. When it gets done benchmarking, if it hasn't crashed, I'll run it for a bit.
The driver version that I updated to was 22.11.1, not 22.11.2, the driver mentioned by the video in the OP.
So hopefully I was just plain outright mistaken, and that this rig was just having a bad no-power-on day for some reason (PSU overheated? Shorted? Polyfuse tripped, needing some extended rest?), and it's going to be OK.
As for the rig with the 2x RX 6600 on one 450W Rosewill PSU included with the case, I'm going to order a replacement better PSU (thinking of the BitFenix 600W Bronze with 4 PCI-E 6+2 pin, mentioned in Hot Deals), and see if I can't revive that one.
I'm pretty sure that the PSU just plain up and overheated and died in the rig with the single RX 5700. It was prone to overheating, and I've had two of the same model PSU overheat and died in a friend's rig, sequentially even.
I'll happily eat crow. Just no catfood. Not my dept.Thanks stapler guy.

Very true. I was saved from a bad used 3090 purchase by UE5 Matrix demo. Both Furmark and Unigine Superposition passed. But UE5 demo stressed the card too much and showed graphical abnormalities. I knew the minute it started that something was not right, because when it zoomed in from the sky to street level, it froze multiple times.Furmark is a power delivery phase test. 3DMark and game tests are better because they better balance the load between System memory, GPU memory, GPU core, and CPU and they fluctuate unlike Furmark. Furmark passing just means you didn't screw up in your power phase soldering LOL.

Thanks stapler guy.
You can turn down the power level to 80-85% to reduce the fan noise. Running full tilt is not good for the long term life of the fans.It does run super loud; though I'm not sure if that's just the 2x 140mm warbeast fans running full tilt on my case? (I also haven't done anything about that noise because it still runs below the noise of my racing games, with transducers)
Look above your post. And congrats, you are today's winner. The prize is, we put a big AMD sticker on the printer before we start kicking it. That is what this thread basically is; an opportunity for all of the haters to kick AMD like that printer. I don't know why they want this tempest in a teapot to be a real storm, but they do. I think it's time for them to go outside and touch grass.Neither of the guys in that clip are the stapler guy

Talking s*** about someone else doesn’t make you look like a good human being either. You’re certainly not better than me. Yes I had a bad day, doesn’t give you the right to call me troll, wannabe. I’m not going around being hypocritical at least, so I have that above you.Ignore the other guy. I've seen guys like that. They just attack you without end. Call it a personalized troll. Probably just having a real bad day/year or crazy.
Maybe there is a bonus round?You almost made it to the bonus round. That's not the stapler guy, but thanks for playing.
