I knew it! Could you tell engineers at AMD that we need GDS both on Windows and Linux?
This is such a waste of time and energy...

Not at all...your implementation will work just fine under linux, and im pretty sure the majority of miners (at least people with more than 1 or 2 cards) are on linux anyways.

I think the people mining with < 10 rigs are mostly on windows.
Consider the fact that people that follow claymore are mostly on windows Smiley

None of that changes the fact that the Windows driver for RX series is brain dead, but that's not the case on linux. So, should one beat their head against a wall trying to do something for RX on Windows that isn't currently possible, or put it aside for now, and accomplish what *can* be done on linux?
