So to clarify, Vega rigs need to run Win10 as of the moment?
No one is running on linux?
In THEORY the 17.40 LINUX drivers should work - but I've yet to see anyone post that they actually DO work, much less give the high hashrate out of the blockchain drivers WHEN WORKING CORRECTLY on Win10.
I plan to work on a LINUX system sometime this week to see if AMD finally got VEGA support working AT ALL.
I read over on steemit that someone found support to unlock the AMD drivers in linux to match windows performance basically, but from the manufacture they have it all altered to deter it being used by miners with AMD, because AMD is partnered heavily with Microsoft and intel now, so they probably want to push more users onto the windows platform so Microsoft makes more money
Given AMD issues with AMD GPU-PRO from day one AND their long-running LINUX driver issues in general, I'm more inclined to blame AMD's "lazy" attitude towards LINUX over some BS conspiracy theory.
DO note that the "AMD/Intel" partnership appears to have been at the request of APPLE, and therefore would tend to be ANTI-Microsoft.
