Glad to hear you're working on an update, claymore! Any chance you can add auto detect in ethman so it knows what client we're running? You could have 3 speed ratings available in the rig properties, ETH/ZEC/XMR so the manager keeps up when we switch algorithms.

While non-RX cards was doing great on v9.6, unfortunately very unstable for RX cards.

I've got a few RX 480/470 rigs running perfectly on 9.6, think it might be something to do with your setup. Here's an example of a 6 GPU rig running for almost 3 days straight:



Rig is running W10 4GB RAM 16.11.4 with 4x 480 and 2x 470, all have modded timings.



Yes, its due to the Crimson drivers.
I have to upgrade the drivers to 16.11.x to get it stable with v9.6 -- it will be a lot of work and downtime.
Hope v9.7 will work better with my existing drivers.

I believe you can copy the appropriate files from newer drivers into the miner's folder, and the miner will use those instead of the currently installed driver's version. That would allow you to keep your old drivers and get the benefits of the newer ones. Maybe claymore can comment.

But come to think of it, your drivers can't be any older than June. I have a rig running with the RX release drivers and it's just as stable as my 16.11.4 rig that I posted. Drivers may not be your issue.
