After some success with a Single GPU Test Rig in updating to Windows 10 1709 with 17.11.1 Drivers and the latest version of Afterburner I decided to update 3 of my 7x GPU Rigs to this version.
Post the update, all 3 are having this common issue
- Afterburner 4.4.0 Final displays blank driver information for the card on all systems
I've tried the latest versions of DDU on affected systems and done clean installs of AMD Drivers.
Other general issues observed:
- Driver performance generally sucks, even with Patcher 1.4.6
One system keeps reverting to a driver version from April 2017, even after a clean install of 17.11.1 - Got this one resolved.
I have not yet run DDU in safe mode and obviously I know possible solutions are to revert to an earlier version of Windows 10 along with an older driver or just kick W10 entirely and move to SMOS.
I've seen several people out there indicate they are running this W10 build and these same drivers on rigs with success but I can't find anywhere a post where someone is experiencing these same issues.
I have not tried running 1709 with older more mining friendly drivers but I have found posts of people saying the drivers previously released will not work in 1709.
Anyone out there had similar experiences and found a solution that works in 1709?
