Anyone used the latest AMD Driver for RX series on Claymore ETH?
Does it offer better hashrate than Crimson?  they suppose fixed the low hashrate from previous driver? Huh

I've been using it for 2 days and it's working fine.
I used this tool to change the driver for compute mode:

No hash rate difference from the previous 18.3.3 driver for my two RX 570/580 rigs. It may fix some issues with Vegas though.

No performance loss x blockchain drivers or any other driver that supports compute workload mode. This driver is good if you want to run more than 8 gpus and for that you will also need the windows 10 64 bit version 1709.

my 6gpu AMD rig will not work with Adrenaline since MSI afterburner will give me problems to detect all of them, so i only use blockchain drivers

I think it was ok with 3 cards. But the moment you try 4, msi afterburner will give problems with adrenaline drivers.

BTC no more than 6k by end of 2019. ETH no more than 300$ by end 2019. Huge market manipulation, huge amount of scammers and hypers.

I never use new drivers. Why do you need it? You have a old drivers? On the other hand who can tell that after updating of the driver it noticed improvement of work of GPU or increase in hashrate? In order for the equipment to work well, I once configured and banned all updates. Forget about the new drivers forever.

I can confirm with Claymore 11.5, I was getting about 31.9 MH/s on my 6 x RX470 rig with custom BIOS, but now I'm getting 27.6 MH/s about 12% less. Seems more consistent in terms of speed. The power draw is now lower too.

Also my rig froze today after a 10 days of work. I will keep the new drivers and see how the rig will behave in the next couple of weeks.

Last minute correction: changed dcri to auto detect and I'm getting 31.9MH/s again! Power draw increased a bit...

I see no changes in hashrate.

Ever since AMD switched to the Compute drivers Afterburner won't work with more than 3 cards. You can set the overclock/undervolt/fan settings directly in the Claymore config or create overclocking profiles for your cards using OverdriveNtool as explained on www.mining.help. If you want to keep using Afterburner you need to use the August blockchain drivers, which are also limited to 8 cards.

sapphire rx580 pulse edition 6 cards
upgraded from blockchain beta drivers to 18.3.4, getting a bit more hashrate (16 in total from 6 cards) and lower power usage (around 6 watt less per card).
