18.4.1 were buggy, so just stay away
Best would be 18.3.4 and 18.6.1
Different CN algos act differently on those, but the difference is very slight, so only if you are min/maxing a rig for specific algo - it's worth testing, otherwise just pick any of them
Blockchain are outdated and pointless, unless you use a specific miner that has kernel compiled for it, like MkxMiner for lyra2v2, but even then, lyclMiner is significantly better.

I am using different version on every rig and dont feel any difference. Maybe vega rig needs some specific driver, but other cards will work fine with latest version usually.

Since we're on the topic, which AMD driver is working the best for you guys? I'm having the best performance on 18.6.1 and 18.5.1 on Compute mode compared to other driver versions (including the latest 18.7).

I encountered bug with 18.4.1 - periodically speed on GPU on wich display connected to drops to 0.

What about 18.4.1 version ? Have you try to mine with it?

is there any body using after burner 4.4.2 with 18.2.1 with rx 570 4gb...
i think Adrenalin is not supported buy after burner...!!!

i was using it and gave me a headache i switched to ndrivetool, far better

facing the same problem where temperatures, fan and OC settings break and can't use claymore to control these settings.
these settings work fine with these drivers until rig crashes for some reason (like the power outage), a notification appears that wattman settings have been restored to default and then I lose all the control.
Trying to find a workaround, once I get somewhere will update everyone here.

AMD august blockchain driver for now with vega 56 is the best option.
i agree with that, other new drivers are really bad at least for me

Wattman is now with this driver horribly slow, every time I switch to a different card it takes like 20 seconds. Other than that I see no difference. I'm using the integrated intel for video, anyone else having this issue?

the Vega 64 reference models don't seem to be liking this driver too much. one of the 64s hangs after about an hour on Claymore v10.1
the 56s seem to be happy/stable.

Hi guys I've been using windows 10 1709 x64 ang using the latest adrenalin drive with claymore 10.3 but seems that this combination is a problem to me, by the way my mobo is asus b250 mining expert, I can't control the fan, core voltage, mem clock and core clock... do you have the 3rd party app working on this like afterburner? Need your help. Thanks
OverdriveNTool works perfectly for me.

Upgraded RX580 rigs to the new driver and Claymore 10.3. All works fine getting the same hash rate. Cast XMR 0.8 works fine too, same hashrate, had to add --forcecompute and --opencl=1 options to make it work.
However the Vega 64 rig doesn't work with new driver, apparently the issue is in Cast XMR miner. First of all it doesn't work with "--forcecompute and --opencl=1" and the vega cards, don't know why. But haven't had much time to play with it though. I think there should be the way to make it work. The miner just hangs or complains on --opencl=1
And also devcon doesn't disable/enable the drivers programmatically(actually it hangs when trying to enable them), which is probably not needed with new driver.
--opencl is to choose the right platform : which depends on the presence of an intel or nvidia gpu ...However the Vega 64 rig doesn't work with new driver, apparently the issue is in Cast XMR miner.

Try without this option or with other values than 1 (0/2).

Thanks to Claymore, the latest AMD Adrenaline 17.12.2 drivers in compute mode are working with Claymore v10.3. You can set temperature, fan control and also set the overclock, powerlimit and voltages directly in the miner command line or config file. Works great with my ASRock H110 Pro BTC+ 13 card build.

If you want to use Afterburner with more than 3 GPU's, you need to use the AMD Aug. 23rd blockchain drivers on Windows 10 v1703 and you are limited to a max of 8 AMD cards.

Awesome thanks man!! I got 7x Sapphire RX580's running on claymore 10.2 win 1703 using AMD Aug. 23rd blockchain drivers
Msi AB 4.4.2 latest when i try to undervolt it's not doing anything can't figure the problem. It's drawing a lot of power ~135w per card, that's why i came here to check if the new adrenalin software would help me -_-

Was planning to update to adrenalin read this topic gonna stick with beta blockchain one until they fix this.
Thanks for the info guys
