I have Vega FEs, but I assure you "having the latest windows version" is the most irrelevant and overrated comment you see everywhere! I am using a Windows 10 Build 1501 and never had any problems, except for "remote desktop apps that need newer versions of windows" but never had any mining problems.
Edited: It is actually 1511

The damn thing practically installed itself, even though I had every precaution (disabled update service, turned off a couple of knobs and switches) in place, except making the network connection a "metered" connection (I think it's not possible on wired connections, stupid choice as I can, in theory, perfectly distribute a 3g connection using a modem with wires). Somehow it decided to re-enable the update service at some point, maybe during a driver update that was needed to operate with more than 8 gpu's, not sure, but it did. |

https://imgur.com/a/mkrQKRpHi Dok, Thank you for all the answers you have given me so for all my noob questions. Currently i am mining bittubev2 algo and my hashrates and overdrive settings are shown in the attached screen shot. Gpus according to order showing in screen shot:- 1 - Vega56 (sapphire reference card, samsung mem) 2 - Vega FE (sapphire reference card, samsung mem) 3 - Vega56 (sapphire reference card, samsung mem) 4 - Vega64 (sapphire reference card, samsung mem) 5 - Vega64 (sapphire reference card, samsung mem) 6 - Vega64 (sapphire reference card, samsung mem) I have not been able to achieve the hash rates you are showing, please adviseIntensity 5 You need to start miner with intensity 60, let it work for a few minutes , then start it with intensity 56. This should get you over 1500+ easily. Some call this foreplay. And of course use v1.6.4 I am using blockchain Aug 23 drivers.. is it fine or should i use latest ? Thanks |

It will give you more hash than BC on bittubev2 algo |

what's the latest working on blockchain ?
1.6.2 work fine with BC driver. i not try 1.6.3 1.8.34 driver work fine with al algo 1.8.6.1 ands 1.8.71 work beter than 1.8.34 in V7 algo but not work with Heavy/tube algo if use only v7 instal 1.8.61 driver and use 1.6.4 srbminer if use all algo instal 1.8.34+1.6.4miner and all work beter than BC driver |

I'm getting a significant share drop on nanopool since upgrading to 1.6.4 from 1.6.2. Both machines doing the exact same thing Everything appears normal within SRBMiner. Almost the exact hash numbers as 1.6.2. However, when I missed a payment, I went to investigate and I now realize my shares dropped by about 20-25% https://www.dropbox.com/s/e76waamhah2dap1/hash%20drop.JPG?dl=0---- Windows 10, blockchain with a bunch of Vega64's |

1.6.4 can produce compute errors on BC drivers, maybe you have a ton of those? That is why i recommend 18.3.4 or18.6.1 on the first page, it works a lot better on those drivers. Maybe if you can try it on one of those? |

I have rather old rig with 4 polaris cards (8gb) and win 8.1. There are no recent amd drivers for win 8.1 so I'm still using August blockchain ones. And when I try to switch to bittube v2 and srbminer 1.6.4 I've got severe share drop (effective hashrate measures for 1 day 3.2 khs. miner still shows good hashrate on its console window, ~4khs) So I had to switch back to heavy and 1.6.0 version (( Don't wanna install win10 on this ancient rig .... |

Everything has been rock solid on the blockchain drivers. I'm not going to turn these systems upside down ATM to 'test'. Whatever you have done to try to squeeze more hash out of the cards was not done in testing the Blockchain driver. After a long time SRBMiner user, I guess I'll switch to XMR-Stack if the blockchain drivers are suddenly not being supported? |

Like windows xp, old things get abandoned after some time in favor of newer. 18.3.4 are great drivers, stable (and not really new also). Ask livada, he also never wanted to stop using blockchain drivers, and finally when he gave up and tested these two drivers, he said he got more hash, more stable system and lower power consumption. So i will leave it to you, it's your choice. |

Windows 10 is better and quicker than Windows 8.1. You must update 8.1 to 10. Polaris cards with 8Gb allready old and even ancient?.... |

You have miner version 1.6.5 on your screen. Did you come from the future to kill mining? ))

i have a few people i give out test versions before releasing officially he is one of them. its good to test on a lot of systems, but it looks like sometimes same cards, same drivers same all behave differently  |
