How is your Vega mining going?

I just started mining with a single Vega 56 card last night and the beta AMD mining drivers on NiceHash 1.8.1.2.

I'm pretty impressed with the returns. It's dual mining DaggerHashimoto and Sia and still hitting 36MH/s for Eth on Dagger.

I didn't change any other settings - other than install the Beta mining drivers. (no additional over/undervolt or over/underclock)

How is the power draw? Do you plan on tuning clocks / power for efficiency?

I hear the bios flash boosts eth mining
 
that's slightly better than my 390X hitting 31 MH/s and 0.91 GH/s.
 
I'm mining with two Vega 56 now (found out my problem with the second one was a failed pci-e 1x slot on my Biostar mining board(I think)). AMD's beta mining drivers installed. Results are nice - this is like 43MH/s and dual mining with 1GH/s of Decred -- on both cards. The only change from out of the box install here is -5% power target through Wattman. (a 5% undervolt)

Up to 43mhash

My rig is running core: 978MHz, memory: 1100MHz.

So while the numbers are the same, and I am also mining Claymore 10.0, I only get 38.5 MH/s! Piss me off.

Any idea why that might be? What are some of the other variables that might impact performance?
