@Claymore: Thank you for your work. Can you please share with me/us your instructions about updating our rigs?
I have several RX470 and RX480 rigs, all cards are working with modded bios (only memory timing changed).
First, I updated the AMD driver to 17.7.2 (withoud DDU, I just installed the new version), then restarted the rig. Second, I ran atikmdag-patcher-1.4.5, and reboot again. I logged in, started CDM 9.8. The miner works, but I can't use WattTool to set clock and voltage parameters. What should I repair, or did I miss something during the upgrading process?
AB and WattTool don't work with 17.7.2. So don't hurry to update your rigs. Also may be it's a good idea to wait new drivers from AMD that solve DAG issue if you don't want to update rigs twice.

Amd wants you to use their WattMan, no 3rd party. Rollback to older driver this will be solved...
Right, but how can we set Wattman values automatically after a reboot/crash? WattTool is perfect for that!

Is it the 17.7.2 that will solve the DAG problem?
I think only prevents that hashrate lows for incoming DAG epoch 137. New Claymore 9.8 version improves the hashrate? Thanks

Thanks 17.7.2, Dosen't solve the DAG issue, Its the upcoming driver that is suppost to do that. On the other hand with Claymore's 9.8 miner he fixed the compability issue which was an issue when running claymore 9.7 together with 17.7.2. Now you can see the tempretures and fan speed. And the claymore 9.8 dosen't boost the hashrate atleast not for me, running RX 480. Best regards Harry

Upcoming version supports Vega and fan management for latest drivers, so the only thing you need is to wait a couple of days for new drivers from AMD.
@claymore Thanks a lot . and i am happy that i didn't buy any GTX cards ) i knew that AMD will NEVER give this chance to NVIDIA . LOL I still get the same 33 MH/s on my GTX 1070s. Mining difficulty increased for everyone whether you're AMD or NVidia. So what exactly are you LOL'ing about? Great news! Can't wait to see 30mh/s again.
I cannot understand what exactly makes you happy!? You will get 5% increase in hash-rate but the difficulty will go up 10-15%, so you will lose 10% on profitability! Take a note of your earnings now and then and update us later on your feeling Been saying this for a while, it makes no difference to AMD miners. Our profitability will remain the same. The worst hit for this upgrade will be nvidia cards, but most of them are not mining eth anyway so again all this makes zero difference in the end. Can you enlighten me why this upgrade hits Nvidia cards the worst? I might be missing something here. Thanks.

He's probably loling about the fact that he didnt spend 50% more for a 1070 over an 8gb rx 480/580 that will get almost the same hashrate when the dag fix comes out.

Thats correct. New update will equal AMD and Nvidia in term of hashing power, as was before. Now nvidia have some advantage, but soon it will be nulled.

Does the newest drivers still need the signature bypass patch

AMD doesn't care about the mining community, but it will be a nice surprise if they do fix the DAG thing with a new driver.

Ahh.. OK, thanks. I misunderstood.. I thought that the DAG issue is solved already in 17.7.2. So we are waiting for the new driver, thank you for your quick answer.

About this DAG fix - if I get lets say 29mh with my rx 480 now, how much more could I get if AMD fixes the DAG issue?

This might be hardware related but I'm having an issue.
I'm running two 4gb rx 480's, one is getting 22MH/s as it always has, the other however is only getting 4MH/s. very poor rate! Any idea what might be causing the problem/how to fix it?

Plug monitor in and flash your bios.

Probably gain at the most 1.5Mh/s. Go benchmark old EPOC DAGs and test it yourself.

Same hashrate that you get with Ubiq, Musicoin and Expanse now.

What's the hashrate for a Vega 64?
It's hard to calculate the hashrate of a VGA that isn't for sale yet. Something between 0 and 40.

Plug monitor in and flash your bios. I think i've seen that question over 100 times in multiple threads. Its driving me crazy. On another note, please ignore this next message : 1QBZxAAva9msx8w7QSDkr39nbkA1QARGC7
