Hello, trying to mod and get warning:

Code:

2018.03.17 13:47:13 Warning - Multiple Catalyst_Version values were found: ""
2018.03.17 13:47:13 Warning - This may indicate problem with the drivers or registry or that system is not supported
2018.03.17 13:47:13 Warning - I will now stop, use Force to mod anyway at your own risk!

Should I install old 16.1.1 version?

No idea. It's just a warning anyway. Tick 'Force' and proceed.

Typically Catalyst_Version registry key is present for every AMD GPU in the system. If values don't match - it's weird, they should match.
In your case, looks like it's empty. Probably because new drivers don't have Catalyst at all.

However, mod stopped working when RX video cards came out. And Win10 supports 6xGPUs out of the box..

Windows 7 only supports up to 4 GPU's of the same brand (AMD or Nvidia). This hack hasn't been updated in almost two years and no longer works with the current drivers. Upgrade to Windows 10 for free while you can. The accessibility loophole ends on Dec. 31.

sir lbr, would you consider to work your magic with windows 7 and 17.10.2 drives ??

I've already tried and could not make it in ~10h.
However, AMD released driver, which supports up to 12 GPU.
17.10.2 actually..

It doesn't wotk for you?

Hello,

I'm struggling with 6*570 on H81 Pro Btc r2.0. First thing I want to ask, what driver to use for Win7? I know that everything is working on Win10, but I hate it!

5 GPU is working OK with 17.4.4 and this patch, but as soon I plug 6th card, Windows start to load, and then it hangs. Without this patch and with 17.4.4 4 cards work, and 2 are with error.

BR...

Yes, this board is buggy. Wont buy it again. And it seems the quality differs from board to board. Anyway. I reinstall Win 10 completly (rest all data) plug everything in. Boot it and than never touched it again.

You need to set the PCIE to generation 1.

guess I'm doomed to linux?.. (because, #$&% win10-anything.)

Maybe Windows Server 2016? It looks like Win10 tho, but has all the crap disabled by default.
Or Server Core 2016 ; ) It does not have any UI at all. I used to run mining rigs on Server Core 2008.. painfull at first ; )

does the server version have those damn updates disabled?

Not by default. However it's doable.
Core install does have updates disabled, afaik it can only update from local update server.
