This is really great news especially for new miners who will no longer need to deal with the less user friendly linux os.
I'm kind of on the fence with this 8+ gpu thing. Got a couple of 8 gpu rigs myself, and while I can add at least 2-3 more cards to each, I don't think I will. Each gpu+riser add to the complexity and potentially lowers reliability of the whole system. And also when a rig goes down for some reason (PSU/MB/HDD/etc failure), you're losing more money during the downtime.. It's great for larger miners I guess, but for someone with 20-40 GPUs in total, I think I'll stick to 6-8 cards per rig for now.

Confirmed. 10-GPU (mix of 1060s and 1070s) mining rig working on Windows 10 version 1709.

Also running afterburner 4.4 beta 12, works without any issues. Can overclock nvidia cards normally.

More than 8 AMD gpus working on h110 pro btc motherboard with Windows 10 Creators Fall Update 1709 + New amd 17.40 driver.

Changed workload setting from Graphics --> Compute in Global readon settings for each card.

I tried 10x RX 570s . all working fine. 29+ Mhs each.

did you working afterburner?, i cant overclock memory. Back to blockhain driver and max 8 gpu= working.

afterburner not working. overclocked in claymore (-cclock  and -mclock). working.
did you used beta version of ab?

Why would you need afterburner for AMD cards? OverdriveN tool should work just fine. I understand the reasons for using MSI AB with nvidia cards (voltage curve, fan curve etc), but can't think of a single reason to use AB with AMD cards.

try overdriveNtool 0.2.1 with asus 580 8 Gb strix but not working.

The accomplishment right now would be on the asus b250 mining expert board, supporting 19 gpu's.

Also got it working Smiley, 12x1080ti on a asrock H110, setting the pcie lanes in bios to GEN1 did the trick.
Seems quite stable atm.  GPU Tweak sees all the cards so that's also a good thing.



Did you notice any reduction in the hashrate because of the change to Gen1?

The question is, does one want to have more than 9 GPUs on a Windows computer?  Grin There are far more suitable options than Windows for this.
No, hes got to be tortured with the fucking sadistic Linux.

Smarter than an idiot that thinks the Relive drivers include the blockchain dag fix. LOL

new future creators relive beta drivers have gpu workload switch so you can switch between mining and gaming drivers apparently...





I will give a try tomorrow and will report if it works.

Windows 10 fall creators update(1709) + AMD driver for Fall creators update v17.40

Tested with 10x  RX 570 . Working good all 10 cards.

But no Dag Fix in new amd driver. each card 21-22 Mhs only.

have, (need use GPU workload-Compute) see this video on 48 sec

If you have managed to make 10 cards working then you should try at least to modify the bios of one card if all RX570 are same brand and same memory. If it works well and you can make it go up to 29 mhash then go and modify all the cards because it adds up quite some , up to 80 Mhash more or about 0.00055 btc more per day which is not bad with the actual bitcoin price.

Great news for such limit to be removed.
They are all bios moded.. 29+ Mhs with blockchain driver. with new windows update and new amd drivers v17.40 its showing more than 8 gpus and mining also working with claymore 10. only thing is no dag fix in new amd driver. so less Mhs.

Would you mind taking a screenshot that shows both the device manager with 10 GPUs and claymore mining with those 10 GPUs?

Also, have you tried the blockchain driver with 1709?

Yes. I have tried blockchain driver as well. its allowing only 8 amd gpus in 1709. more than 8 windows is crashing.

Its not worth 8 rigs plus, given the stability loss due to more risers, more moving cards, potentially more PSUs etc.

A closed chassis 6 GPU rig is still steal. I've tried 4, 6, 8 and 12 GPU rigs. Win and Linux.
