AMD Released their next major driver overhaul after Relive, the Adrenalin driver set. Introduce a lot of gaming centric features, better screen capture, overlays etc. For miners, performance is unchanged and we still have the Graphics/Compute toggle which now seems to be a permanent fixture in AMD Drivers. Here is a quick overview for those interested https://www.anandtech.com/show/12147/amd-releases-radeon-software-adrenalin-editionI have installed them and am mining using them on a 4 GPU test rig, I see no improvement on Eth on Claymore 10.2, but they appear to me more stable mining XMR on Claymore 10.2 compared to previous version of drivers. However, Temperature and Fanspeed monitoring in Claymore's miners is not working.I believe an update for the Claymore XMR miner is in the works, I hope that brings in rock solid stability like we see on the ETH miner. Update : Cast XMR miner (even the latest version 0.8 ) does not detect these AMD drivers, so does not work with them.

Thanks for posting. I was just about to download fresh drivers for a rig that's been acting up lately and I seen these Adrenalin drivers published today. Before I did though I thought I would check to see if anyone tested them yet with mining. Here is hoping for a slight improvement, stability would be great.

WARNING : the drivers break temp/fan reporting for claymore. Use at own risk. For now I'd stay stick to what you already have. I dont know how this took me so long to notice lol.

Yep, I just got them installed and can confirm temperatures and fan settings break (at least with Claymore 10.2), was just coming back to post this as well. I can control them in wattman though, so I may test them out for awhile until Claymore can get around to making a new patch.

What's the point to install those drivers, if it doesn't improve hashrate and breaks Claymore's compatibility ? I'll stick with my old blockchain driver

Blockchain drivers support only upto 8 GPUs if I am not mistaken. I am running on 17.11.4 drivers which support upto 12 GPUs and my rig with 10 GPUs is running stable. Hence why change?

the only thing that it did to me was drop of 29mh sper card to 18mhs and some card even to 10mhs which is bizzare i am switching back to old ones

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon 580 has no workload toggle with these drivers, anyone else experience this?

After a few minutes of mining ETH with Claymore, the miner hangs and restart automaticly, but consumes more power (+20%).

Just wanted to throw my info into the ring. I'm doing some testing on building a mining rig, and I've been stable on my personal desktop with Win 10 x64 on Crimson 17.11.4 drivers on an MSI RX 580 8GB- because of conditions it's running under I'm getting ~23 MH/s ETH & 60 MH/s LBRY dual mining using Claymore 10.2. For me using the block-chain drivers -vs- the production drivers changed to compute it didn't make a hashrate difference.
Once I installed the new Adrenalin drivers my hash rates went to ~31+ MH/s & 80+ MH/s with the card running cooler and using less power, however ETH wasn't actually hashing - I kept getting an error and I wasn't getting any shares into the pool - however the LBRY hash rate was legit and I was successful in mining those. I've also experienced the no fan/gpu/mem speed control issues, but I was able to use wattman or afterbuner to control those.

how much did the hash rate increase? and which cards you got?

I'm assuming you enable computing mode? Is it normal if you have two or more cards there's no workload option?

Is there improvement on any of the 17.1x drivers over blockchain ones? Especially for monero mining?

as far as i have seen the only thing that it does is crash cant stabilize it, so i moved back to the old ones

AMD released 17.12.2 driver. Who tried allready, is they repaired compatibility with Claymore temp/voltage/fans monitoring and control?
