Hi pals! What is the best amd driver for this version of claymore, what is your recommendation, kindly give me some of your thoughts.. Thanks

Running 18.2.1 on my rigs, not having any stability issues, others have reported 18.2.2 as working well also. I suspect any of the most recent drivers are fine as AMD have integrated the "block chain" optimised functionality into their drivers which is accessed by choosing "compute" instead of "graphics" in the settings

so the latest drivers include the blockchain fix using compute feature? do you have a link to this?

windows decides to install some amd drivers several times now and do not want to go the uninstall/install saga again if the latest drivers are good.
Thx

Here's the AMD support page on how to select compute for blockchain mining, as Bidrago above said, its been there in all the AMD driver releases for a while now

Just want to put my 2c in, I am running 4 separate rigs and have moved them all across to 11.2. I have seen the following:

  • A noticable increase in reported hashrate on all 4 rigs (around 1-2mh/s on a 6 card rig)
  • Although hard to specifically quantify, all 4 rigs seem to me to have a more stable hashrate, less dips.
  • No reliability issues so far, all been running 24x7 without problems
  • An increase in (nanopool) reported average hashrate on all rigs - I believe this comes from a combination of what i think is a more stable hashrate as well as the small increase seen with 11.2
  • I needed to increase the DCRI setting on my rigs after moving to 11.2 for best results in my setups

I'm running RX580's on my rigs both 4GB and 8GB versions - so for me 11.2 is a big thumbs up, thanks Claymore  Smiley

I can add some info for all uneducated lads complaining in the last 30 or more pages:
- whattomine blake2s estimates are for solo mining. So your expectations are wrong from the start..

Ppl should rly drop WTM and learn to make calculations themself

It's a crutch.  You KNOW people love crutches.


Seems to be a lot of knocking whattomine here?.. I get that if you want accurate up to date estimates and you have the time to do so then nothing beats doing your own calculations, but I use whattomine as a good time saving tool, and I have found the calculated estimates to be within a few % of my actual mining results..yes I'm pool mining (of course). In fact the ethereum estimates I got from whattomine in particular I did before building my rig was extremely close to the actual results I achieved over a 1 month period... so I'm more than happy to save time and use their calculator.

That is EXCEPT for verge!  Maybe whattomine's verge calculator is borked (would explain a lot) or maybe there is problems with verge pools but my actual results on verge is about 50% of what is calculated.
