Finally I can test and confirm that AMD has fixed the issue with slowdown at high DAG epochs for Vega/Polaris/Fiji cards. They are going to release new drivers in a few days.
Have you heard any new updates from AMD since? Wondering if they're having last minute issues with the release. I'd like to avoid using an unofficial user-modded driver.
Separately, I just assembled an AMD rig with 6x RX480, and I'm new to AMD, would folks mind educating me as to the following:
1) Is BIOS modding still the way to go for under-volting and optimizing memory timings? Or can a lot of that be achieved with the latest Wattman?
2a) If BIOS mods are still the way to go, I read that as of a certain Catalyst version it won't work with modified BIOS, so does that mean when the new Catalyst with DAG fix releases, it won't work with the BIOS mods? How will we be able to use the new driver with DAG fix AND run with modded BIOS?
2b) If Wattman can largely achieve power reduction and improved
Apologies in advance if this issue has been widely discussed, I didn't see directly relevant results with the preliminary Google searches I've done thus far.
1) For the love of all that is holy and good, do not use Wattman. It's awful.
2a) It still works, you just have to re-patch/sign with atikmdag patcher.
2b) Don't use Wattman.
