Hi guys,
Someone try new drivers 17.10.3?
I am also curious if someone prepare new power tables.

Don't touch them. They work at 1100h per card. Also cannot be undervolted. And I had to reinstall windows after because neither DDU nor AMD uninstaller could get rid of them and the blockchain drivers could not be installed after (lost a few hours sleep because of them).

I used them, switched to the blockchain driver, and then switched back to 17.10.3. Undervolting also works fine. I just use Wattman myself and dont get into the PP tables. I think you had an issue somewhere. I did not nor have I seen a lot of issues popping up about these drivers.

Although the hash rates are still nowhere near the blockchain driver, I can pull 1200-1300h/s. However, I use my Vega mostly for gaming
Well, I might have had issues. Wattman does not cut it for me. I use power tables and extreme undervolting, but doing 1940h/s average on 130 W per vega56 card (flashed to 64) with stak-amd.

Loosing 600h/s per card is too much for me.

I have a 4 vega 56 rig used for "development". On this rig I've been switching between 17.10.2, 17.10.3 and blockchain aug23 quite a bit in the last few days (17.10.3 is only 3 days old!). Last thing I know is after I installed 17.10.3 for the first time I could not get back to blockchain. It would not uninstall neither with ddu nor with amd uninstaller. Windows would pick the damn drivers every time. Block chain driver would take ages to install and fail at the end.

So, combined I wouldn't use them yet for the above reasons.

If somebody can come and help making them work I'd be willing to follow.
