Long time lurker, first time posting... Wealth of knowledge, THANK YOU to everybody here

I'm curious if anybody has had any success running:

Windows 10 (v1703)
More than 8 AMD Vegas

I have 3 rigs of 8 Vegas running on the Aug23 Blockchains no problem, rock solid on ETH-only (~44Mh/s), ETH-dual (depends on secondary) and XMR (1960 Mh/s) to the maximum extent. With all units running below 160W for all 3 ops.

Until recently I was limited by my PSU to only 8 Vegas. Now looking to add a couple more GPUs to each rig now that the "masochism" is over.

So, my woe's:

a. With Aug23 Blockchain drivers installed, simply tried adding the 9th GPU. Upon restart, immediately ran into issues. Full DDU. Computer saw all 9 GPUs as generic (minor success!). Cleared out AMD folder, full reinstall of Aug23 Blockchain drivers. No dice. Same issues on restart.

b. Then tried the latest 17.11.2 drivers (with all 9 GPUs hooked up). Full DDU, install 17.11.2. Failed installation 2-3 times, no relevant error messages. Gave up on this round

c. Then tried 17.11.1 drivers (with all 9 GPUs hooked up). Full DDU, install 17.11.1, installation success but on multiple restarts, AMD Settings crashes immediately. Thought, that's fine, all I do in AMD Settings would be to change the driver to "Compute" anyhow. I can make a Regedit hack for that. So..

Thus I had 17.11.1 installed on Windows 10 v 1703, with all 9 GPUs recognized as Vega correctly --->> drivers successfully installed (but as described, I couldn't get AMD Settings to launch). So then I went to install the PowerPlayTable mod, and immediately upon restart, all the GPUs were no longer recognized (more accurately described: Driver Error).

Anybody finding success running 9+ GPUs on Windows10 (either 1703 or 1709)? If so, what drivers are you running and any special considerations?

Thanks guys, looking forward to being a contributing member here

Try Windows 10 1709 + amd 17.11.2(compute) + No afterburner + fan, core and mem settings in claymore config.

Gave it a go tonight, got everything up and running (1709 + 17.11.2) correctly. Found the following issues:

1. Apparently 17.11.2 down to 17.10.2 does NOT support Vega Compute Workload... no toggle and confirmed that it's not just "automatic" b/c my CryptoNight hashrates are down to ~1300 from high 1900s
2. Also 17.11.2 doesn't support the SoftPowerPlayTable mod anymore

Can anybody confirm these findings?

Hi, I am received the answer from amd support, that there is no option for compute workloads, because the driver is already optimized for that.
