Today ,Ebay sent me a 10% coupon
( I did not use the 6% , then ebay up to 8% , I also did not use the 8% coupon , now is 10% ).
I brought the $499 vega card + $38 tax few days ago. No coupon.
Now , I am hoping another $499 vega card sale on ebay soon.

How is your power draw so low? I used the same overdrive values and am sitting at ~860 watts from the wall for a 3 card rig. Seems like this should be in the ~600-650 watt range.
@Marsh , thank you for your suggestion. I have already done that. I have made the xmr-stak-amd config.txt file as simple as possible - only one gpu_thread. Then I have made tries at changing the "index" parameter in combinations with changing "platform_index" (even to 2
). I also tried the new xmr-stak doing its auto-magic, too... to no avail.@keybored , I may as well try Win10, as I still have the card - I have already asked the seller for return, but am waiting for confirmation.

See my post #7
after I applied the "soft power" registry file, my 1 vega card dropped 100w.
further 30w power reduction by tweaking my overdrivetool.ini file

I have used the soft registry file now, I have the three card rig down to 680 watts now from 870, decent savings but still quite a bit higher.
EDIT: GOT IT! kept tweaking and ended up at 575 watts from the wall for 3 vega 64 5900H/s

Fedex truck left about 45 min ago, just received my second V64 card.
Plug it in to GPUMiner machine, next to the first V64 card slot
Took the time to change out for a better EVGA 850 G3 PS, re-cable.
Boot up Win10 , changed the bat file to include the second V64 card.
Now it is hashing at 3996 H/s.
Vega 64 is the easier AMD card to work with.
Now waiting for more V56/V64 card in normal price, who knows what normal price.

Power consumption is the game changer for Vega card. H/s per watt is fantastic.
Total rig power is 372w - base computer with 4 fans @50w = 322w or 161w per card.
I read on Reddit that folks got power down to vega 56 @130w , or vega 64 @150w per card.
If the world is filled with Vega card, XMR mining would be many times more difficulty.
@modder man
Your 3 cards power usage is not far off from my 2 cards , if scale to 3 cards.

1000w will be just fine if you undervolt the cards, but I have a feeling you'll suffocate 3 of those 4 cards.
I guess you'll find out soon enough, but that doesn't feel sufficient since there is virtually no space inbetween them or at least it looks that way in the pictures. These things get HOT even undervolted.
I've got 3 64's that run WAY too hot to have them stacked like that, even with a fan behind them. I'm using JJ's hashmonitor to keep things running, and without them separate at least 1" with a fan, I couldn't keep them hashing at 2000 (XMR). They would throttle back to 1600 constantly.
