  • Added support for AMD Windows drivers 21.5.1, 21.4.1, 21.3.2, and 21.3.1


Bugs or not supported 21.5.1?

1. After updating 5.6d and AMD drivers 21.5.1 all specified GPU commands not valid (example "-cclock 1:xxx,2:xxx etc").
2. Try to change all GPUS:s with the same value only 1 of 6 might apply. (example -cclock 1000) 5 of 6 keeps the old settings and not reading config file or something.

So weird. Also some of cards Memclock boosted to max and cause system failure.

Edit:
And 21.3.1 drivers it works just fine.
I like KIND of 21.5.1 when it works because slight 0.2MH/s increase in 5600XT

The real 5.6d works with Radeon Software 21.5.2 and earlier, but does NOT work with 21.6.1(which Windows Update keeps forcing down my throat with every check for updates).   Yes, I can go to the unoptimized kernel route, but I'd rather not have to do that when there SHOULD be a new version to support the new drivers.

For sake of minerstat i hope that they have right phoenixminer in their systems.

idk. I try all, nothing works. It´s just acting so weird with 21.5.1.

I've been using Minerstat, and it's the proper version of PhoenixMiner.   No problems prior to Windows 10 doing an update that forced 21.6.1 drivers down, which caused problems for me.
