Crimson Relive Win 10 Drivers Now Support 12 AMD GPU's with Compute Workloads

[Vann]

New option in Radeon Settings toggles the ability to switch to Compute/Graphics mode.

Radeon Software now supports compute workloads for up to 12 installed Radeon RX 400, Radeon RX 500 or Radeon RX Vega series graphics products on Windows®10 system configurations.

With their latest GPU driver, Radeon Software version 17.10.2, AMD has added support for several new features to their GPU, which includes a feature that is targeted specifically at cryptocurrency miners.

This new driver adds to Radeon Settings a new GPU workload option, which defaults to Gaming but now can be toggled to load a "Compute" mode, which is designed to offer the best performance on compute-oriented workloads, like cryptocurrency mining.

If this new function works as advertised, AMD GPUs should be able to achieve higher hash rates without much or any change in power consumption, which is great news for miners. AMD has also updated their drivers to offer support for up to 12 individual AMD GPUs (Polaris or newer) in a single system, allowing more GPUs to be connected to a single motherboard for the purposes of mining. This feature could be used for other tasks, but we all know that mining is what AMD is aiming for here.

Looks like AMD is realizing GPU mining is going to be around a while

As far as I know, AMD has said it would enable 12 cards this October on the biostar b250 and 19 cards on the Asus B250 mining expert on December 2017.

Can anyone confirm that this works for 6x vega56 as well? I have read the article i just want to make sure before i buy the rig

From the info-graphic Asus posted, the B250 mining motherboard only supports up to 11 AMD GPU's with the new Windows driver. For 19 cards in Windows, you need to use at least 8 Nvidia P106 mining cards apparently.

Disappointed, back to Blockchain Aug 11 driver. Mem Oc does not work, not in Wattmann/Claymore(system freeze), overdriventool, Afterburner beta 19 see's nothing.

I hope it supports Windows 8.1

bullshit driver 

My rig (1x vega 56 + 4x rx580) dropped from 150MH to 140MH

Il will go back to beta blockchain

did you toggle the compute switch in the driver options?

True Mem Oc does not work

try this new driver.. its working.

change workload setting in readon global settings to compute mode. (graphics --> compute)

Yes I did it even if it is hard to find (Game > config > a switch to place on compute instead of game)

I rolled back to beta driver and my rig runs at 150 MH/s again

Next time, I will be more patient and I will avoid to lose 1/2 hour of mining in installing drivers not finalized

What kind of CGU ? Is it bios modded ?

Going to see how more people get on with the new driver before moving from the beta mining Aug 11 driver as it's been very stable for me so far.

Ive tried it on my 8 GPU Rig still not working. After Powerplaytable only 1 card appears in Wattman so dont waste your time. I lost today about 3 hours for that driver to try arround with it.

Yea, the drivers turned out to not have the Dag fix and Afterburner isn't working with this new driver. I even tried the new Afterburner v4.4.0 Beta 20 and all the overclocking options are locked except the voltage. Went back to v1703. Hopefully AMD will update the blockcahain drivers for the Creators Update.

BBT did get this driver working with 21 cards using 13 AMD cards + 8 P106 mining cards on the Asus B250 mining motherboard. Awesome live stream.

graphics --> compute switch works fine on this driver

verified 24 -> 29 mhs for ETH on rx 480

Thanks. I'll try it again once they update Afterburner.

Same here, cannot seem to overclock the memory, tried Afterburner, OverdriveNTool and AMD's own WattMan, memory clock speed reverts back to the default after applying the new value!

Where you able to overclock the memory? What program are you using?
