AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.3.4 vs Crimson?

[navz]

I have been using (Win10-64Bit-RV-AM4-Radeon-Software-Adrenalin-Edition-Q2-2018-May17) for my gaming pc/mining rig while still using the beta blockchain driver for 6 gpu dedicated mining rigs.

For dual purpose PCs, the Adrenalin driver is simply brilliant! I crossfire my sapphire nitro+ rx580s 8gb while gaming, go back to compute mode when I am done. However, when it comes to power consumption, these 2 cards are pulling 99w-100w each (msi ab) while mining at 30.4mh/s (Samsung memory) and on the other gaming rig 31.3mh/s (Hynix memory). The hashrate improved after upgrading to Claymore's miner v11.7 which is running on all rigs (gaming/mining).

When it comes to dedicated mining rigs, I think the beta blockchain driver is still the best option. Its very stable, each gpu consumes 85-90w (msi ab) while mining at 30.4mh/s with Clamore's v11.7.

I am downloading 18.3.4 now. Hoping to get better gaming performance with this.

Update: It sucks!

My pc is lagging, 2nd gpu consumes 130w (msi ab) for the first 1-2 hrs, then comes down to 99 (same as the first gpu). 2nd gpu's led flashes after every 5 seconds when idle, its just crap! going back to Q2 which is the most stable one I guess.

In the release notes they do mention this might decrease some blockchain performance.

Actually it says

Fixed Issues

• Some blockchain workloads may experience lower performance than expected when compared to previous Radeon Software releases.

19.1.1 give me very low hash on rx570's like 15 hash Going back to blockchain.

I tried today version 19.1.1. It gives lower hashrate, no fan control on Claymore 12.0 and latest Phoenix miner. I reinstalled AMD 18.5.1. drivers.
