AMD New Drivers Adrenalin - mining Perf same, Claymore temp/fan monitoring broke

[UnclWish]

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

No

Thanks. Will not install it then...

Just wait a while and there will probably a new version of miners which will work with the new AMD drivers

It is not amd that needs to do anything to fix it, its claymore that needs to do something to match amd's settings.

This.

With 17.12.1 wattman became horribly slow, every time I click on a card I have to wait a couple of minutes for it to appear. Anyone else seeing this? I didn't find it as a known issue for the release.

why not us the new version of after burner 4.2.2 final  out today it works with that driver and one card, haven't tested it yet on a four card rig . which was or maybe was having issue with four cards or more and that driver,

Afterburner doesn't seem to recognize my cards correctly, even the name of the cards appears blank.
Edit: RX-580 cards

[Lenorag]

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  

same here

has anyone worked out a way to turn on compute mode on recent drivers without using AMD settings?

Yes, it's exists way through registry editing. Just search "Mining (Altcoins)" part of forum.

add this DWORD to the below registry path: KMD_EnableInternalLargePage, set value to 2 to enable compute mode

"HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\XXXX"
where "XXXX" is the card number.

Was planning to update to adrenalin read this topic gonna stick with beta blockchain one until they fix this.

Thanks for the info guys

Thanks to Claymore, the latest AMD Adrenaline 17.12.2 drivers in compute mode are working with Claymore v10.3. You can set temperature, fan control and also set the overclock, powerlimit and voltages directly in the miner command line or config file. Works great with my ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ 13 card build.

https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Adrenalin-Edition-17.12.2-Release-Notes.aspx

If you want to use Afterburner with more than 3 GPU's, you need to use the AMD Aug. 23rd blockchain drivers on Windows 10 v1703 and you are limited to a max of 8 AMD cards.

Awesome thanks man!! I got 7x Sapphire RX580's running on claymore 10.2 win 1703 using AMD Aug. 23rd blockchain drivers
Msi AB 4.4.2 latest when i try to undervolt it's not doing anything can't figure the problem. It's drawing a lot of power ~135w per card, that's why i came here to check if the new adrenalin software would help me -_-

Hi guys I've been using windows 10 1709 x64 ang using the latest adrenalin drive with claymore 10.3 but seems that this combination is a problem to me, by the way my mobo is asus b250 mining expert, I can't control the fan, core voltage, mem clock and core clock... do you have the 3rd party app working on this like afterburner? Need your help. Thanks

[nshrd]

droblesa hi

can you please share your claymore 10.3 config?

[hozerdev]

Upgraded RX580 rigs to the new driver and Claymore 10.3. All works fine getting the same hash rate. Cast XMR 0.8 works fine too, same hashrate, had to add --forcecompute and --opencl=1 options to make it work.

However the Vega 64 rig doesn't work with new driver, apparently the issue is in Cast XMR miner. First of all it doesn't work with "--forcecompute and --opencl=1" and the vega cards, don't know why. But haven't had much time to play with it though. I think there should be the way to make it work. The miner just hangs or complains on --opencl=1
And also devcon doesn't disable/enable the drivers programmatically(actually it hangs when trying to enable them), which is probably not needed with new driver.

--opencl is to choose the right platform : which depends on the presence of an intel or nvidia gpu ...
Try without this option or with other values than 1 (0/2).

OverdriveNTool works perfectly for me.

[POM]

the Vega 64 reference models don't seem to be liking this driver too much. one of the 64s hangs after about an hour on Claymore v10.1
the 56s seem to be happy/stable.

[dlezama]

Wattman is now with this driver horribly slow, every time I switch to a different card it takes like 20 seconds. Other than that I see no difference. I'm using the integrated intel for video, anyone else having this issue?
