How significant is it to use the 17.40 block chain drivers, or does that only pertain to a certain core or Windows OS? like 10 or W7 the same results...
Well the thing is that AMD's intermediate language is hard to generate at the moment, so these kernels are pure binary kernels produced with certain drivers. Usually the kernels also work with other driver versions for that they were build for, but that can not be guarantied. 17.40 blockchain driver is mentioned pretty often here because that was the one I build and tested the kernel files with
Other drivers may also work, but as said without any warranty.Quote
but as said without any warranty.
lol 
I gotcha, I may go ahead and try the 17.40 just for shits and giggles and see if that does make a difference. I know its very early in development yet.
Best luck i have had is with 3 x 290x, only it will connect to pool then receive work and then it sits and the CPU spikes up to 100% and within a minute or so the miner restarts itself and repeats.
Ok, thank you for at least getting the ball rolling for us AMD equi miners
Im sure as the days go by it will improve. I'm yet to test on RX 480'sHeyo
I tested it on the newest AMD driver version, works the same as on the blockchain drivers here (for the fun i tested it with an 290x for ya).
Have you successfully tested on any other GPUS, and you are saying it worked for you on the 290x?
Sure NP,
No i just used an test system what have an 290x, rest is on ETN.
290x is here working on win10 pro, 0% cpu load with the newest AMD drivers. So no for this card you dont need to downgrade your drivers.
480's i dont have so i can not test and for the 580 i see an updated file.
Just make sure the config json file is good with the correct information and check if the .bat file is pointing to EXAMPLE1;
Like this for BTCZ (BitcoinZ) on suprnova.cc ;
Code:
{
"DEFAULTS" : {
"PLATFORM" : "AUTO",
"DEVICES" : "AUTO"
},
"EXAMPLE1" :
{
"COIN" : "BTCZ",
"POOLS" : [
{"POOL" : "btcz.suprnova.cc",
"PORT" : "6586",
"USER" : "userworkername.password",
"PASS" : "x"}
]
}
}
