All win 7 user has this issue??
It's not the Windows 7 driver. The problem is they are using the 'Windows 7 6 GPU mod' hack that hasen't been updated for over a year, then they wonder why they have problems. LOL
I have the same problem on a win 8.1 rig with only 4 gpu so it is not the 6 gpu hack.
You use a driver for Win 10/7 in Win 8 nad wonder why it won't work?
I figured someone would be a smart ass
Win 8.1 is basically the same as win 7 and yes win 7 drivers from amd have worked before with no problem.
Why would they go throuh the trouble and expense of developing a seperate Windows 8.1 driver if that was the case? I haven't used Windows 8.1 for mining since 2014, but AFAIK, the Windows 8.1 AMD Polaris drivers have always been a problem for mining. There was also a major architectural change staring with the 17.7.2 drivers and there has been no 17.7.2 driver for Windows 8.1 realeased yet, like they were previously. That's also why the current Afterburner no longer works in 17.7.2.
I have never had a problem mining on win 8.1 platform and these rigs have been running 24/7 for over a year and are super reliable. They go through the trouble for gaming since that will be more problematic on different titles. With mining meh if they load up then your golden, like I said I have used them at some time in the past and it worked just fine. The problem I had is exactly the same as win 7 x64 users are having with these drivers, which is why I mentioned it.
