Topic: AMD Releases Driver for DAG Issue !!! - page 3. (Read 28841 times)

Anyone here tried using the Win 7 driver with the Genoil eth miner program? Wondering if that maybe will work.

AMD updated beta for win10x64 (from Aug23) and win7:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-[Suspicious link removed]pute-Release-Notes.aspx
Both builds have same version of graphics driver - 22.19.659.0

My test rig with 6 x RX470 Powercolor with hynix memory, clocks 1100/1820, timings from 1375mhz strap, win10x64, claymore 9.8
16.7.3 driver = 149MH/s ETH + 4400MH/s DCR
17.8.1 driver = 149MH/s ETH + 4400MH/s DCR
Aug11 beta = 157MH/s ETH + 4670MH/s DCR
Aug23 beta = 157MH/s ETH + 4670MH/s DCR

Profit boost is ~5.5% in dual-minig mode and ~4% in ETH only mode.

BUT!
I have hardcoded voltage and offset in bioses of my RX470s (1000mV in all fields and offset -16 ~= -100mV), so with old drivers they worked with 900mV in idle, and ~880mV under load.
But new drivers override some voltage settings.
So with no modifications theese RX470 worked with 1080mV and offset -16 ~= 960-980mV under load.
Power consumption increased from ~900W to ~1050W.
Changing offset to -32 (~ -200mV) with good old Wattool v0.92 lowered voltage to desired 860-880mV and power consumption lowered to expected ~900W.
I am going to make a 24-48 hours test, if it works stable, I will force ofsset -32 in bioses...

I can't even start my rigs with that.

Tried installing the blockchain driver on a FRESH Win7 install yesterday.

Per it's release notes, it SPECIFICALLY states it supports the R9 290 (I had 2 of those in the machine) and it looked like it was supposed to support the "R7 graphics" in the A10-7860k in that machine.

 Actual results - it installed, but flat out did not recognise the A10 iGPU at all (came up as "standard VGA adapter" in device manager) and would not install on that no matter what I did.
 It SUPPOSEDLY installed on the R9 cards, but NO OPENCL SUPPORT both per GPU-Z and from trying to run openCL software like the DNet client, Claymore ZEC miner, and both Genoil and QTMiner for ETH - no matter what I tried, it flat out WOULD NOT INSTALL OpenCL.

 Without OpenCL support, there is ZERO POINT TO THIS BROKEN DRIVER VERSION.

 Makes me wonder, YET AGAIN, if AMD bothers TESTING their crap RElive bloatware on all of the cards and OS they CLAIM the stuff is supposed to work on.


 Machine is now happily working Moowrapper/BOINC/Dnet via LINUX (took me about an hour to "clone" a pre-built USB key installation over to that machine's HD - most of that waiting on DD to copy the installation over - thank goodness for 15.12 drivers!).


 AMD drivers have been such a total load of bloatware garbage often BROKEN nightmare since 15.12 (though some of the 16.x versions were tolerable) that I'm about to the point of just saying "forget AMD, I'm going all NVidia" for GPUs and I've been looking seriously into alternatives for my current "go-to" AM3+ based platform.

 I've ALREADY decided to completely ignore Vega (the pricing BS coupled with the low performance and INefficiency had me thinking "don't bother" already) and the RX 5xx series (after ONE MORE TIME around the "Relive is bloatware garbage" block, I refuse to even bother LOOKING at another Relive driver version ever again).

 Don't even get me STARTED on AMDGPU-PRO on the LINUX side - they're STILL trying to play catchup on support of even the R9 series, the available tools are an even bigger joke than ATICONFIG, no support AT ALL for Tahiti after 2 bloody YEARS but they can support low-end junk like the R7 250?
 NVidia LINUX support was a tossup for AMD even back in the fglrx days - since the move to AMDGPU it's been no competition at all.

 They don't seem to realise how much their "penny wise, pound foolish" short-sighted "don't care about LINUX, don't worry about putting competant work into drivers" attitude is poisoning the well among us long-time AMD fans.

 If AMD doesn't get their act together on GPUs, they might just find themselves in the position of being PERMANENTLY locked into trying to compete only in the "value" segment - and if it wasn't for cryptocoin mining, they'd be losing out even THERE at this point.

it includes FAG issue fix 

Did anyone check new non-beta driver Crimson ReLive Edition 17.8.1 (release date 21.08.2017)?
Does it include DAG Issue fix from mentioned beta driver?

I am using asia server and having no such issue. Change your server for now.

Not related to miner, or drivers. It is pool issue (server issue on eu2).

But fact is that new driver does not have option for voltage control, like for eg. 17.2.1. On my rig average power consumption is 250w more.

Claymore is working on a new miner. AMD is always making some changes, but that is usually not miner friendly.
There is some DAG issue too. It shows sometimes in miner DAG 129 or DAG 128. That is maybe an issue with Ethermine pool. Changing pool might be helpful.

Power draw 150w avg in gpuz?

Not a good bios mod! You can undervolt in bios, I've showed how in the guide, link in my signature. Then you can undervolt more in AB. 1100MHz should be like 800-850mV even less.

I have the same issue with a MSI Gaming X 4G. It heats up too quickly and the fan does not ramp it up. Afterburner beta will control it only when it is open but it crashed the computer after a few minutes. Wattman crashes after 20 minutes. I haven't tried claymore controlling the fan yet.
The only way to make it work is put a big fan in front of it so the fan doesn't do anything.
If anyone has ideas I'm open to trying.

Hi, first post.

I waste a such of hours trying to install on W7 without results (claymore crash)

Finally i decided install on W10 and with my Rx570 got a bouncing 28 eth and 700 dcr.


-Rx 570 Asus Strixx 4GB
--Straps 1:1500->1:2000 // 2:1500->2:2000
--Mem. Elpida
--Mem. clock 1950 mhz
--Core clock 1100 mhz
--Power draw 150w avg  

So, the drivers almost works, the power draw and the bouncing its a problem, but my eth avg increase in almost 2 mh/s in comparation with W7 and lasted drivers, and the electricity in my country is pretty cheap, like 0.03 usd per k/w. So i will use this drivers for now.

Hi,

what cards do you have?
Is the mh/s stable or bouncing?

Thank you.

I have installed Afterburner 4.4 beta 16 with the blockchain driver and my rig is still stable after 48 hrs. Do not alter the wattman mclock and cclock settings, only use Afterburner to find the stable mclock and cclock settings for each GPU. I also re-installed windows 10 and disabled windows updates and windows defender.

Pardon

The link was updated.

Is that screen shot for ants to read?  Are you telling us about the DAG fixed drivers we already know about?   

Hi guys,
today I've installed a new card, re-installed driver and started miner.

Here is what I've seen:

It looks like that new drivers simply emulate the dag 128 and by this way miner gives high hashrate.

Thanks man I was worried about the dag difficulty, knowing this I might consider the 1060 6gb because the rx 580 8gb are hard to find and expensive.

new version Crimson ReLive Edition 17.8.1, who will test it?
