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

Why are you running 17.11.1?

The first thing I would do is switch to the blockchain driver, it was made for mining and helps a little. Never had a problem with afterburner.

It's the most recent version supported by the patcher and I know it works fine with 1709.

I read the blockchain version doesn't work with 1709, are you running it on 1709?

The Afterburner developers are claiming the problem with blank settings on Windows v1709 is a driver issue releated pixel patcher.

Maybe they will fix it but honestly it looks like they gimped Afterburner intentionally with multiple GPU builds because they are butt hurt about miners buying up GPU's

I reverted back to using the blockchain drivers on Windows 10 v1703 and Afterburner is working.

Interesting information, thanks for sharing this.

I'm getting by with Wattman right now.
