Title: Windows 10 and AMD adrenalin 18.5.1
Post by: Batelk on October 24, 2018, 09:15:43 AM
I have upgraded to the latest Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 and installed the adrenalin 18.5.1. However, in the Global setting of the AMD setting panel, I cannot find the graphics workload panel. Any reason for that? So I cannot switch to compute mode.

Shall I have a clean install of the Windows 10?

There is no compute mode switch in the newer drivers, it's automatic.

I also use the 18.5.1. When I run the mining program, the clock of the R9 390 stuck at 300/150MHz which is the idle core/mem speed.

I have tried several programs such as XMR-Stak, SRB miner and Claymore ZCash miner. Same low clock speed.

Apply the tool AMD-Compute-Switcher as indicated by leonix007.

It Works very well.

Just turn on the –y 1 option in Claymore miner or Phoenix miner. You can also use the AMD-Compute-Switcher program, available for download in https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2815803.0.

I have similar problem although I use the Windows 8.1 and 17.17.1.

The clock speed kept at 300/150MHz when I run the XMR-Stak. There is no use if I switch to compute mode using the switcher mentioned earlier in the response.
