My board has never seen Windows.

I believe that you mentioned that you're using Xubuntu 14.04. How come you choose that version of Linux? Do you just like it or is it somehow better than Ubuntu or other distros?

I'm running asus B250, Ubuntu 16.04, two 1070tis and I'm testing with a RX580, NVidia 390.25 driver, AMD 17.50-511655 driver. ethminer sees the 1070tis and RX580 but I can't get ethminer to mine 1070tis with cuda and mine with the RX580 with opencl. It will mine with 1070tis with cuda all day long Smiley

Are you using an old NVidia driver that somehow doesn't conflict with the RX580? Or do you think this is an OS issue / ethminer issue?

Thanks.

XFCE window manager is the main difference from "base" Ubuntu - much easier to work with, MUCH lower overhead than that evil "Trinity" standard Ubuntu window manager (which even Canonical has said that Ubuntu is giving up on or recently MOVED to something else) and makes autostarting programs at boot-up VERY easy.
I won't say "Trinity" was the worst window manager I ever suffered through - but only the UNUSABLE INTERFACE in Windows 8 was noticeably worse.

I don't run mixed rigs any more - flat out does not WORK with anything semi-current on Nvidia drivers (somewhere in the 350 or 360 range seems to be where the "no-opengl-files" option STOPPED WORKING) under LINUX, so you HAVE to run Windows to make it work at all.

Since the board doesn't fit well into the "rack/shelf" infrastructure I'm building up, I'm probably going to end up selling it off sometime semi-soon, when all of the cards that are currently in it get moved to other "standard" riser rigs.
