Guys for my rx 480 what are the best driver to install?

I'm mining with almost 1 week uptime with RX580 and the WHQL 17.11.1 driver on windows 10 fall creators update.
151MH eth + 5120mh DCR @ 1240mhz 912mv
It gives me the best performance and stability on my 5x rx580 system. Don't forget to set the gpu's to "compute" on the amd control panel.
Give those a try! Always run display driver uninstaller before installing a newer driver.

Thanks for the reply!
Can you give me somewhere for a guide to install these drivers? I have really gone wrong with these various directions. Everywhere is something different.
Where is this setting set:

need to switch to Compute for all GPUs in Radeon settings?

I'm also interested in linux, and there can I put this?

Thank you!

If you don't know how to install drivers you shouldn't do GPU mining...

Hello Mattthev,

I have been professionally engaged in computers for 10 years. I assemble and sell them and I have revived a lot of laptops through a reball.
Before 3-4 years ago, I started mining with 3 HD7950 cards. With the few of them I started making arbitrations. But everything stole exchanges – MTGOX, Cryptsy and one chinese exchange.
Now, if I had what I won then, I would have over $ 1500K.

So believe me, I have an idea of how to put drivers and how to deal with crypto-coins, but the directions are very different. That is, it just comes a moment when you just hit one place.

I couldnt unvervolt the new rx 5xx cards with AB aswell. The only things that allowed me to do so was the OverdriveN tool.. And from now on im only using this

That's better choice, check voltages in HWinfo64 and GPU-Z if they are applied well.

Well when i set the lower voltage, it works for 15 sec.. and then go back to normal.. but the numbers in the tool remains the same (mV)

Are you using another OC tool?

[zilos]

I mean GUIDES or TUTORIALS how to setup AMD cards.

I'm just wondering how this Saphire rx560 work once and when I restart the computer, videocard crashed with absolutely the same hardware and tuning ...
I use MSI Afterburner, but I want to put the settings in Bios and use the card under Linux.

hello guys
i have MSI Gaming X RX 570 4 GB (Elpida) and i get 22 mh in stock bios nad with mod bios polaris 25 and with overclock memory get 28
but i cant increase my memory clock over 1950 i put core clock on 1150 on other dont touch
some user put memory 2100 and core clock 1200 and get 29 or 30 with the same vga
why i cant increas memory clock over 1950?
my driver is blockchain

Probably because your memory strap is too aggressive

I use MSI Afterburner, but I want to put the settings in Bios and use the card under Linux.

Now I remember what the difference was.
When I reached 13.5MHz at 1020-GPU and 1150-MEM, it was after I increased the memory value gradually through MSI Afterburner during the mining of the video card. And once I enter the high values and then launching Claymore’s Ethereum miner, at the rows

Setting DAG epoch #153 for GPU0
Create GPU buffer for GPU0

the video card crashes.

When I install
Blockchain Drivers August Windows 7/10
Or
FIX for DAG EPOCH hashrates drop BETA drivers
Through device manager I receive the same speed.
Can I install both Blockchain Drivers August Windows 7/10 and FIX for DAG EPOCH hashrates drop BETA drivers?

And which is the highest possible speed for this card:
Radeon RX 560 Pulse MINING Edition 4096MB GDDR5 /one DVI port/ with Hynix memory?
Does anybody know?

Thank you!

Nope.. I got installed AB, but it is closed while i do it in Overdrive..

What do you exactly do with PCs? Sure, you can install them both but to different cards obviously, I don't see any advantage of doing this.

Yes, I have that in mind! And I think so, but why this is offered as a solution?

That's why I said, that I was confused and asked for a guide to installing these drivers. And you said that I can not install them

Added Monero and Vega - the definitive guide by Hellae
Thanks spectune

I followed this guide exactly, only with 4 cards per rig, and it works perfectly.  Highly recommended.

For the sake of anyone reading this later, the reddit guide has been superseded by this:

https://vegamining.blogspot.co.uk/

That is not my work, and it is not the definitive Vega guide, but it is close.  I think UK blogspot/circusdad does a better job explaining OverDriveNTool, and its associated .ini file and how this all relates to SoftPowerPlay mods.

And he explains how to automate several steps into one .bat file.  And if you look into Windows tasksch[eduler], you can automate the whole process on reboot.

The UK blogspot guide is a bit terse about reducing power draw, but once you understand that you can edit the OverDriveNTool .ini profile or profiles, without  having to make permanent changes to your SoftPowerPlay mod, you are well on your way.

Editing the one line in the "StartMining" example .bat file (point it to your Start-Cast .bat file) allows this to be applied to Cast, though the tutorial is focused on XMR-STAK.

Pretty nice guide. I will add it.

find better strap or bios?

OK, so Amazon decided to send me 4 RX580 that I ordered back in july/august
Since then I built only nVidia mining rigs, but now I decided to give it a go with RX 580s, but it is completely new territory for me...

For now, I got 2 XFX RX580 GTS 8Gb XXX editions, one with Samsung and one with Hynix memory.

The cards have a small microswitch for dual BIOS, so I switched to the so called mining BIOS. The thing is I'm not exactly happy with the card's performance, as I understand they should hit 30 Mh/s easily while solo mining with Claymore

Here are the facts:
- I installed the latest radeon drivers, and made sure that it was set to compute workload (I'm using Win10 and Claymore 10.1 btw.)
- I didn't update the BIOS yet, since they are supposed to have Mining BIOSes already (As advertised by XFX)
- The one equipped with Samsung RAM can reach 30Mh/s with heavy OC (1250/2230, and no undervolt). Undervolting to 925mV in MSI AB drops performance to 28,5Mh/s)
- Hynix card is even worse, around 27Mh/s and setting power limit or voltage in MSI AB doesn't seem to have any effect, it stays above 1000mV (1150/2200).
- I checked the BIOS of the card with SAMSUNG RAM, and it has the same strap for 1750 and 2000 so I don't know how could I finetune the memory timings
- Right now the 2 GPU's are in my gaming PC, the top one is getting pretty hot around 75 celsius (this won't be a problem once I move the cards to an open air rig.)

Any suggestions/tips would be welcome
