I had issues getting cards stable, i had to use heaven benchmark on each card to see which settings held on each card.
my stable setting was
64 bios flash
800mem safe bios file
tweak p7 in overdrive tool 1360 gpu 1100 mem
getting about 1974 per card now at 750w wall(4 cards).
make sure you disable/enable devices before using the miner every time
Hmm, when you say stable, were they just not performing or were they giving you BSOD type issues?
My current setup and proces is
64 bios flash
1100 mem file
Have to use wattman to set it to 3500/3600 fan speeds for each card
Then do the disable/enable process for each card
Run Cast XMR
Getting about 1900-1980 per card, at 1700w wall (8 cards)
That current seams high for the 1100 regedit. Although I don't know what your base load is, but it shouldn't be over 150 with a standard mining setup. and then each card should be at or below 150. So 9 X 150 = 1350.
So I just reran it, and this time the backlog occurred approximately 2 hours after starting the Cast XMR. Once I noticed it I immediately hit the "s" key to see what it does, and it mass posts all the stat lines again. This time, it resumed once it posted everything, and I am guessing it is because the backlog was only a few minutes by the time I caught it in comparison to the last few times which were hours later. (See screenshot), I might be wrong but based on the timing it seems like it happens when the Cast switches to the dev pool for the 1.5% fee. I don't mind the fee, but can dev get involved and help troubleshoot the issue? Am I posting in the wrong place for that?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
https://imgur.com/a/9hegtI will let you know if I see the issue again. Not sure how or where to post bug reports. That is what my first post here is and haven't seen any developer replies. You have 8 cards running have you verified that adjustment you make change the values you expect with the miner running? For instance it you lower the freq and change a temp on a GPU in overdriveNTool do those setting correspond to a single GPU in the miner?
Wish the miner had a log file option and a little more verbose on the reports as it is. Such as errors/type per card.
Still getting used to this forum posting thing... I think I posted my response to you above in the wrong layout.
---> That's interesting, I don't remember if I opened anything on the rig during the process but will note it for next time. Is there any way to add settings to Cast for having it reset/restart itself when it sees a GPU falling below a certain hash speed/threshold or when it determines there is a backlog of shares that have not been submitted? I think it would be helpful to do that. Once I have worked out all the kinks I am going to create a complete walkthrough of how to setup everything using Cast XMR with the Vega cards, and using optimal settings. <---
Which powerplay table did you use, and was that only on the 64 or the 56's as well?
I had use the same tables it was the 1050 tables from here
https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/74hjqn/monero_and_vega_the_definitive_guide/I have just started over and used the 800 and raised the MHz until what appears to be a steady 2k on each card and no more. ends up about 1092 and 1097 for the 64s and 992 for the 56s.

It is needed. Allot of piecing together info for this
