Hello,

I have issue with my rx480 mining rig, it runs before perfect, but i ahve to change ssd, and after the new win10 installation, the miner stuck after detecting pools.

I use latest win10 ltsb, asrock h81 btco pro r2.0 mobo. Onboard display is selected, and gen1 also.
I see my cards at the device manager, also installed the chipset driver, but the miner cannot start.

OverdriveNtool also detect my gpus. Change the mobo and the cpu as well, it isnt solve the issue, any idea?
I think something missing, but i dont have a clue, out of ideas Sad

I got same problem yesterday after updating to 1803.
I had to run DDU to remove drivers and install BC drivers to get it work, it was no go for Adrenaline drivers (and AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher).

What is BC drivers?
I got same problem yesterday after updating.

BC is the blockchain driver pute-Release-Notes.aspx]https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-[Suspicious link removed]pute-Release-Notes.aspx
Many complain about the latest update (1803) of Microsoft. In the rigs it is mandatory to disable updates to the system and drivers of the videocard and monitor this.

Starting with 18.3.4 there no reason to go back to Blockchain drivers.
18.4.1 were bad, but 18.5.1 are decent again, so I would just stick to these or 18.3.4

Has anyone figured out a fix to this?  I have three rigs and two are up and running but one day all of a sudden one rig went down and it took almost two weeks just to get the drivers recognized by windows again (error code 43) but now they work (using 18.5.1 amd drivers) the only part that doesn't work now is the claymore miner it just gets stuck now after pools are specified.  I tried turning firewalls off and that didn't work, updated almost everything, patched drivers, and also rolled back from 1803 to 1709.  I just can't seem to figure this out.

Re: RX 580 Sapphire Pulse vs Nitro for Ethereum Mining

Does anyone have experience mining with the Sapphire Pulse vs Nitro rx580? From my research it appears they have the same memory clock.

However, I see a lot of people recommending the nitro and nobody recommending the pulse, is there a quantitative reason for this?
I haven't tried Nitro's but here are my pulses and I'm more than happy with them, they are stable at this hashrate and cool

Nice!  How are you able to achieve this?  I've tried everything from switching drivers, switching OS's, flashing BIOS, and when I go to adjust gpu and memory clock in afterburner, trixx, or AMD's wattman it always lowers the hashrate.  What is the secret?  I can't get more than 26 out of each card no matter what I try..

I am the one that got the other way around and choose the Sapphire Pulse. I undervolt the cards with Hynix Memory and Bios mod them. MSI Afterburner settings are :

GPU CORE CLOCK: 1150
GPU MEMORY CLOCK: 2175

Hashrate for a card is 30.5 Mhash and I doubt the Nitro+ can go much higher than this, max I have seen is 31 Mhash. I have gonne with Sapphire Pulse because the power consumption is just a bit lower and in mining every little bit helps, running 95 watt while mining monero or 110 watt while mining ethereum only and 145 watt in dual mine.

Still the Nitro+ is considered to be the best version of the Sapphire cards.

 I really hope that wattage reading is from the wall.. cuz my 580 nitro+ SE cards dual mine 30.5eth/97lbry @ 105W in gpuz

Hi all, I see you guys getting 30+ mh per card and I have having trouble getting those result, was hoping for some help to troubleshoot and get those better hashrates.  In my rig I have 7 Sapphire cards, 3 nitro+ and the other 4 are the pulse brand.  They are getting exactly the same hashrate and performance (to answer the OP's question) and were doing about 22mh stock on Claymore on Windows 10 with latest radeon driver.  I then flashed BIOS using the latest Polaris bios editor and now cards are all sitting at 26mh. After reading around I believe they should be slightly higher.  Was hoping for some knowledge on how to achieve this.  Any and all help appreciated!
