Well PM 5.7b is finally running.. with the AMD 21.1.8.1
I know I am an impatient person..
With 5.5c it was about 10-20 seconds I had to wait before I could see the openCL drivers were loaded and the rest of the config file was executed.
but waiting for 5-6 minutes to finally see that the miner is actually start to load the openCL drivers and read the rest of the config file...
Is the long waiting period all have to do with the extra setting features in PM?
I understand it has something to do with the pentium (3,3Ghz) CPU I use, but from 10-20 sec to 5-6 minutes waiting is a bit much in my opinion.. Anything I can do to shorten this? without upgrading my CPU..
I also use 16Gb of RAM..
any help much appreciated
I think is something else other than the CPU processor.
This is what I'm using and 5.7b comes up and runs in seconds for me.
Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G4400 @ 3.30GHz, 3312 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
Also same memory 16Gb
I have even a slower processor that I use which is G3900 Celeron which is the lowest of Gen 6 processors and it works perfectly well with the Rx 6800 XT cards I have.The processor is ruled out here and I think you need to uninstall drivers and reinstall them once again,installing a new version of driver like 21.8.1 over an old one does not always run smoothly so this is the first thing to check.Also the HDD is not a problem as the difference between an SSD and an HDD is big enough but surely not 6 minutes.
