Title: R9 380 (Tonga) users, what drivers do you use for stability? (Claymore issues)
Post by: Valgar on May 24, 2017, 09:32:05 PM
Hi I was wondering what Tonga users are using for the drivers, I've tried about 6 different drivers and they all crash with Claymore, any advice welcome.

I'm running a Gigabyte Gaming R9 380 using 16.11.5 drivers dual mining Eth and Sia. I have tried everything down to 16.9.2 without issue.. You might want to look for the problem elsewhere...

My R9 280x and R9 290 are pretty close to your 380 (it's a rebrand with slightly faster memory, the SAME GPU, and a bios upgrade of the R9 280 as I recall).
Both models have run Claymore 12.4 for (ZEC), genoil or qtminer (ETH) for me without issues on the 15.12 drivers.

 IMO don't even look at any "relive" driver for anything older than the RX 5xx series, and don't bother with the 16.x series of drivers on anything older than the RX 4xx series or the Fury line.

 There were quite a few of the 16.x driver series that FLAT OUT WOULD NOT WORK if you have a modded bios - 16.9.x and 16.10.x do work with modded bios, but I only recommend 16.10.1 WHQL usage for those folks with newer cards than yours.
