Finally I can test and confirm that AMD has fixed the issue with slowdown at high DAG epochs for Vega/Polaris/Fiji cards. They are going to release new drivers in a few days.
When new drivers come out, will it work if i just copy OpenCL DLLs into miner folder? I don't think so, the changes at the driver level. Did AMD provide you with both Windows/Linux fixed drivers or just windows? |

Within 24 hours I will release new version with Vega support and fan/overclock management for 17.7.2 drivers, for Windows. I will release Linux version a bit later. |

Thanks Claymore !!!
Any good news for Vega owners as far as hash rate on the new release ?

Any idea if they fixed this issue for Tahiti GPUs? I remember Epoch #1 or so hashed at like 28MH/s with the R9 280X. Would be benefitial if they fixed it for that GPU also. Same with the Pitcairn, Epoch #1 hashed at like 20MH/s with the R9 270X. |

Vega FE shows 36-36.5MH/s at stock clocks, 40-41MH/s for a bit overclocked memory. Finally I can test and confirm that AMD has fixed the issue with slowdown at high DAG epochs for Vega/Polaris/Fiji cards. They are going to release new drivers in a few days.

With the driver fix, if r9 280 issue is indeed the same as Polaris then a driver hack would be sufficient if AMD does not do it. I do not expect AMD to give a fix for the r7 or r9 series. AMD will only fix Polaris cause they are still selling it as rx 580. |

The 6XXX they dropped about 2 years ago. |

Quick question - am I understanding correctly that 17.7.2 does not yet contain the hashrate drop fix, which is coming in the next driver release in a few days. And that is a separate matter than the next release of Claymore Miner that you're working on, which will add Vega support and fix management for driver versions 17.7.2 going forward. Thus, to mine with Polaris without hashrate drop and full management ability, you need both the next AMD driver release and next Claymore miner? |

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. |

I read the article by the link and found nothing about mixing drivers. Please clarify. halfway down the page under tools and software needed shows how to combine 16.11.5 drivers with 17.2 drivers Driver mixing is not required as of 17.7.1 |

Vega FE shows 36-36.5MH/s at stock clocks, 40-41MH/s for a bit overclocked memory. 36MH is pretty low if you ask me. (Is it going to be the same with 56 and 64 ones?) P.S. 36MH with or without miner optimization? |
This is madness. Prepare yourself miners, winter is here!

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 |
