Title: Windows 7 and RX480 won't mine WTF?
Post by: joeventura on July 07, 2016, 10:58:01 AM

I have an ASROCK 81 MB, Windows 7 2 RX480s (just trying to get one working) Geth and Ethminer Tells me it sees no GPUs Questions: Tried the 15.x drivers and the 16.x drivers, neither works. Can you really uninstall these damn drivers?
Can anyone share what has worked for them please?

it looks like a riser problem? did it work in the pci-e slot directly?

Anything other than the latest 16.6.2 drivers does not support RX 480.

if you plugged directly in the pcie and it did not work then it's the motherboard, return it

Its an Asrock BTC 81 that worked just fine with 3 Radeon r9 290s for years.

Are their certain mining software  that won't work with RX480's?
