Looks like Claymore just released 9.8 with support for Vega cards. This should be interesting, I eagerly await the first official results I'm skeptical about 70MH/s let alone 100, but lets see!
been playing a little more over the last few days , seems the FE edition is sensitive to heat above 60c which is mental! any thing over and it throttles. @ 1600/1075 and 1080/1075 in a warm room it sits at 75c 100% rpm and hashes at 32-33MH, in a cooler room @ 100% RPM it hashes at 37-37.5MH @ 60c and as its windows down clocking doesn't work

... in a cooler room @ 100% RPM it hashes at 37-37.5MH @ 60c...
What is the average temp in this room (approx.)? Seems like it can go over 40 MH if tuned well.
I cant get the mem to be stable above 1080, I can use up to 1100 but will crash quite quickly and temp is impossible to keep down
never come across a gpu that can run at max at 61c
my advice is steer clear of the air version if this is what they are going to do in the rx and water cool all the way, its the only way to get the clocks up and stay up
I have an ek block on order and a lot of exp with water so will at least keep it lower than 60 dual mining, btw it does 1.3GH at the same time as 37MH dual mining but as I say temps go wild and slows it right down.
the room is warm it has other miners in it, I can imagine how this would ever work in a case, useless blower on the FE lets hope the rx blowers are better but I expect not, and only the AIB will come close to staying on top of the temps, or they will mod their bios to not strangle the card as soon as it gets to 60c plus
40MH is a no go with mem crashing out. I might be just unlucky with my one but most have said they cant get very high. I hope its a heat issue and they will be have slightly better with water block and a good contact with some better pads.
Oh and all this is with current shit driver in windows and with out a timings mod in sight when both them happen I expect 50 plus with water cooling and dual mining nearly 50MH/2GH dual dcr but the heat and power will be larger like 400w+ so if you custom build your water cooling massively over size it
Perhaps there's a stupid low temp ceiling in the BIOS? I figure once the new ADL drops they'll add support for the Vega and I can check it out (once I get my hands on one).
FWIW, I doubt it'll reach the performance levels needed to beat the Polaris architecture for mining. 400+ watts means it'll need more than double the performance to equal the 400 and 500 series cards. Even at 50MH, it's still not worth it. On the other hand, 60MH with BIOS mods would tweak everyones interest.

I can mod the timings, but flashing an unsigned VBIOS to the card will cause it not to function. Need to get tricky with it.

I think it's because of a "crude" BIOS/driver and a "professional" grade of the card. AMD wants to play safe and If the card becomes hot, they had programmed throttle to prevent overheating. Maybe some "modded" anti-throttle BIOSes will available as the RX-series come in stock. Also it would be very appreciated if someone could mod it for the FE-series as well.

Most likely RX blowers will remain the same exept for the color.

FE is like a "professional" grade card, so the chips here should be better than the RX-oriented card has. But I'm afraid of that the BIOS/driver for the RX-serie could appear as more preferable for mining purposes, although the cards are the same, exept for a memory amount.

50MH sounds good. A rig with 6 of them gets you to 300MH! But now it's just an expectation only.

I thought you Linux guys had it easy with no BIOS-checking drivers? I may have misread that somewhere (I use Linux on my laptop for some native Android development, but haven't used them on my rigs or desktops for mining).

You're right, but they didn't do it in the driver this time.
Will be interesting to see what the new drivers can do with VEGA. I've got some money set aside, but I think I'll wait to see what they can do. 100 MH/s seems pretty far fetched. Haha

@Wolf0
I thought undervolting never existed on in Linux, is this some thing new with this vega driver set?
