SAPPHIRE NITRO+ Radeon 580 has no workload toggle with these drivers, anyone else experience this?

the only thing that it did to me was drop of 29mh sper card to 18mhs and some card even to 10mhs which is bizzare i am switching back to old ones

Just looks like more bloatware for gamers and still shows a known issue with 12+ GPU's. AMD blockchain drivers on Windows v1703 are working fine for me with RX 570/580's and I don't see a reason to change.

A random system hang may be experienced after extended periods of use on system configurations using 12 GPU's for compute workloads.

Blockchain drivers support only upto 8 GPUs if I am not mistaken. I am running on 17.11.4 drivers which support upto 12 GPUs and my rig with 10 GPUs is running stable. Hence why change?

What's the point to install those drivers, if it doesn't improve hashrate and breaks Claymore's compatibility ?
I'll stick with my old blockchain driver

Thanks for posting. I was just about to download fresh drivers for a rig that's been acting up lately and I seen these Adrenalin drivers published today. Before I did though I thought I would check to see if anyone tested them yet with mining. Here is hoping for a slight improvement, stability would be great.
WARNING : the drivers break temp/fan reporting for claymore. Use at own risk. For now I'd stay stick to what you already have. I dont know how this took me so long to notice lol.
Yep, I just got them installed and can confirm temperatures and fan settings break (at least with Claymore 10.2), was just coming back to post this as well.
I can control them in wattman though, so I may test them out for awhile until Claymore can get around to making a new patch.

AMD Released their next major driver overhaul after Relive, the Adrenalin driver set.
Introduce a lot of gaming centric features, better screen capture, overlays etc.
For miners, performance is unchanged and we still have the Graphics/Compute toggle which now seems to be a permanent fixture in AMD Drivers.
Here is a quick overview for those interested https://www.anandtech.com/show/12147/amd-releases-radeon-software-adrenalin-edition
I have installed them and am mining using them on a 4 GPU test rig, I see no improvement on Eth on Claymore 10.2, but they appear to me more stable mining XMR on Claymore 10.2 compared to previous version of drivers. However, Temperature and Fanspeed monitoring in Claymore's miners is not working.
I believe an update for the Claymore XMR miner is in the works, I hope that brings in rock solid stability like we see on the ETH miner.
Update : Cast XMR miner (even the latest version 0.8 ) does not detect these AMD drivers, so does not work with them.
