Topic: Crimson Relive Win 10 Drivers Now Support 12 AMD GPU's with Compute Workloads (Read 7904 times)

Hello there.
I'm going crazy.
8 amd, 5 nVidia I was doing smooth Mining. (Asus b250)
But yesterday I wanted to do mining with 12 AMD cards. I did not do what I did. It is reset immediately after Windows is turned on. I have installed windows10 many times but nothing has changed. So which AMD drivers should I consume?

I created a simple tool for made this easier

If you have updates for it please inform me 

Could you give more info, im trying for days to make 12 gpu work but i just cant...What version of windows you use 1703,1709? What motherboard you use? What version of claymore?

y but AB still dont work, i was getin 29.5mhs with rx570 nitro+, when i hook up 12 gpus, and do everything, everything and still ab dont work, and cards hash at 25.5mhs

Mind sharing the computer specs?

Confirmed 13 gpu on whql-win10-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-relive-17.11.1-nov10
Need turn off some cards first (in device manager) to enable compute mode on all cards because theres bug. Once enabled on all, turn on all cards and it stay.

I guess this is the dag fix setting.

is there any way to set cards to compute mode using command line or registry or somehing? It takes 10 minutes for each card in amd settings.

How?
I have 12 cards setup and if i'm unable to set compute mode in 30 minutes i'm, returning all 12 cards as there is no OC in linux that works, drivers where 12 cards work for windows does not support OC in claymore and needs compute mode to be set up, which is super annoying in amd settings.
Drivers with no need of setting compute mode supports 8 cards max.

EDIT: figured it out KMD_EnableInternalLargePage - now i'm getting 29 from all 12 cards on windows

I'm using the 17.10.4 drivers, Hashrate is the same as blockchain drivers. If you don't mine Ethereum, you don't need to switch from graphics to compute.

Nope. Can someone find this button on newest drivers on Windows 7?

I need your help guys 

I have 16x RX580 (6xAsus,4xMsi,6xSapphire) for 8+8 rigs

I tried blockchain and 17.10.2 drivers on win10(ver1703) but i cant add 6th or more gpu. 5 gpus working but when I add 6th, 2 gpus stop and dont work on claymore. I really want your helps I dont solve this problem.

My second problem is with my Asus Dual RX580 gpus. They are really unprofitable and unstable. I tried everything but I got just pain  I got just 26.5MH with original bios which is most stable. The other 30+MH with less electricity.

I will be really grateful if you guys help  Thanks from now

for now stay away from this driver. switching to compute mode is unbelievably annoying! made reg files to do this faster - somehow works. msi afterburner beta21 does not work at all. trixx 6.5.0 undervolting resets driver. watman is crap. hashrates are kinda same.  power consumption went up. tools for undervolting are less.

Quoting my self from another thread, so I can share my own experience with you guys:


I decided not to perform a clean install and go back to BlockChain Beta drivers

Since the blockchain drivers don't support the Creators fall update, there is no point in updating to v1709. The blockchain drivers worked for me on v1709, but it made the Windows UI very unstable. If you want to stick with the blockchain drivers, it's best to stay on v1703 and defer the Windows feature updates in the Group policy editor until a stable version of the new Crimson Relive compute toggle drivers is out.

gpedit ==> Computer Configuration ==> Administrative Templates ==> Windows Components ==> Windows Update ==> Defer Windows Updates ==> Select when Feature Updates are received

There you can defer Windows version updates for up to one year.

While in the Group Policy Editor you can also keep Windows Update from updating the the drivers.

gpedit ==> Computer Configuration ==> Administrative Templates ==> Windows Components ==> Windows Update and set 'Do not include drivers with Windows Update' to enabled.

There is also a new Crimson Relive 17.10.3 driver out, but according to the release notes only game fixes were added.

https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-17.10.3-Release-Notes.aspx

The release notes also mention the new drivers drivers have a known issue with 12 GPU's in compute mode.

Allright.. these are my results from yesterdays extensive testing

First of all:
AsRock H110, 8x PowerColor RX470 4GB (samsung), Claymore 10

Windows 10 Pro 1703, AMD 17.10.2 with Workload = compute

We had the rig running stable for weeks/month with BlockchainDriver(23aug).. 228MH's on ETH with this crappy cards
We did DDU, installed new driver 17.10.2(oct23) (full installation with GUI) / took like 15 minutes ! restart + PixelPatched + restart
Manually setting Workload = Compute for all the cards .. grrrr!!! after setting all 8, you have to restart the computer !
After start: OverdriveNTool 0.2.0 for aplying OC/UV profiles to the cards..
result is very same like the BlockchainDriver(23aug) .. 228MH's .. stable for 24hours

So my insight on this.. for those running 8 card rig with BlockchainDriver(23aug) there is no point of switching to the 17.10.2 .. there is no improvement, just the pain (aplying Compute ON) to even get the same result

-----
COMPLETE DDU 17.0.7.7

Adding 4 more PowerColor RX470 .. sooo .. 12 Cards in total (http://prntscr.com/h31ld0)
Windows booted up quickly
Installed full version of 17.10.2 took like 40 minutes !!! Insanly long! restart + patch
All cards has been detected, I saw 12 in Device Manager (http://prntscr.com/h31kuu)
manualy turned on compute workload (took another 10minutes) + restart
Computer freezes.. restart, freezes, freezes..
After a long while it booted without any changes at all
Saw all 12 cards, modifified Overdrive batch file to OC/UV all my 12 cards + applied this profile
Ran Claymore 10.1 with -gser 2 option
All 12 cards has been recognized by claymore (http://prntscr.com/h31l1y)
It started mining while still creating DAG for another cards.
I saw that some of the card started mining 28.5 Mh's (that is normal value for my cards)
Than.. Cannot create a DAG file for GPU9 and GPU3.. Claymore restarted.. since than, I was not able to start it over again
After another computer restart I was not able to boot into Windows anymore!!! Windows died!
Disconnected those 4 additional cards and here we go.. windows booted up again..
Ran DDU + restart + back to the BlockchainDriver(23aug) + patch + restart
Cards started to mine ony 14MH's no matter what.. spend like an hour playing with it.. there is some problem with applying cvddc/mclock after DDU uninstalling 17.10.2 and reverting back to Aug23 drivers
Windows installation is obviously corrupted (or the new DDU 17.0.7.7 is leaving some traces behind after uninstalling the 17.10.2(oct23) driver

Had to restore Windows installation image from backup!

So, anyone that don't want to waste the time, stay away from 17.10.2 while running 8+ cards (especially 12!)

To that reg fix..
IojkinKot has been faster, I do agree with his findings.. there are more changes but only that one seems to be relevant to me
If anyone can tripplecheck, here is exported regedit key before/after applying COMPUTE mode. Do the file comparison and please let us know the result
Applying this regedit can save 40min of installation time + another 10 minutes of manually applying compute mode for each GPU
This might actually get very important.. if AMD will stay with such a option of turning Compute mode ON in the future!!!

And such a nice Friday it was   (6 hours wasted!)

PS: I'm NOT doing this test over again with 1709 Fall creators update !!
PS2: For those who want to say thank you, you've saved my a lot of time and pain, look down bellow the line

New version of Afterburner v4.4.0 beta 21 is out. It increases the core undervolt limit to -200 mV for Fiji, Polaris and Vega. It's working on Windows 10 Pro v1703 with the blockchain drivers. Can anyone using the new Crimson Relive v17.10.2 drivers with the compute toggle on the Windows 10 v1709 Fall Creators update verify whether overclocking is enabled? Thanks.

Anyone find the COMPUTE button in Windows 7? Can't find it anywhere

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]
"KMD_EnableInternalLargePage"=dword:00000002

And for 0001, 0002, etc.

Hi, can you share you reg file for compute mode ON ?

i did the same as you however i cant change mem clocks after the install, by any means , wattool, overdrive tool or ab
any ideas? this is on two 10 gpu rigs all a mix of 480, 570 and 580
