AMD Blockchain Driver (Radeon Software Crimson ReLive for Blockchain Compute)

Supports most current AMD graphics cards, starting with the Radeon HD 7700 line.
OS support: Windows 7 , Windows 10.
64-bit drivers for Windows 10 and Windows 7 have been updated to include support for Radeon ™ Vega Frontier Edition (08/23/2017)

In the future, the company is not going to optimize or correct errors. This, in turn, makes it the first and last driver package for mining systems. Regarding specific improvements over conventional Radeon Crimson ReLive driver packages. That, as noted, the new release solves the problem of reducing the efficiency of Ethereum mining.

The graph below compares the performance of video cards with a regular and new specialized driver.

Initially, you need to download all the necessary programs. Follow the step by step instructions:

To download AMD clean Uninstall Utility click here below. You can use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), for this option you need to read the instructions of the AMD program, which is located in this archive.
The latest AMD Beta Blockchain Compute driver is available at this link below. It is important to install the correct version for the OS.
The network does not make it difficult to find a pixel Patcher.

After these steps, all the files are downloaded, proceed to installation.

You must remove the pre-installed drivers. The most affordable approach is AMD’s full removal utility.

To download the utility, you will need to activate the “AMDCleanupUtility.exe” file, which is automatically launched after confirmation of uninstalling the driver appears. The utility will provide information about the completion of the uninstallation process and will offer to restart the PC. Click on “no,” as one more action is required.

Before rebooting the PC, go to the root directory local drive C. Find the AMD folder, and delete it. This is the folder in which AMD software retrieves files. In spite of this you will need to delete this folder because it is recreated and filled with new files during the installation of new drivers.

After deleting the AMD folder, restart the PC.

Users can use one trick. When the system reboots, you need to disconnect the LAN cable. This helps prevent possible automatic restart of the operating system and Installing a new driver package before the system boots.

This step is considered optional. Since all files are present required to download. A network connection is required to complete following actions.

Getting started with the installation of graphics drivers. When the user rebooted the PC, open the “Downloads” folder. Double-click on the AMD driver installation file. We call it: “Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23.exe.”

The installation files are extracted to the created AMD folder, which previously was deleted by us. The user, if desired, can choose another location, but this directory is selected by default. Click on “Install”.

The program extracts the installation files to the folder indicated in the screenshot up. The execution time of an action depends on the performance. operating system and hardware. When all files are extracted, the program offers to install driver files.

You will need to accept the conditions of the page, as in the screenshot below, before proceeding with the installation.

The software will scan the system to calculate the location for graphic processors. It all depends on the speed of the system. When ended installation, the image will appear on the screen as in the screenshot below.

You can click on the “express installation”, which is most often set by default. Or opt for a custom installation, where you yourself will need to select components for personal installation.

The most commonly chosen custom installation. Users give preference for Wattman drams, GPU control. There are those who stop your choice on third-party programs: Wattool, or Afterburner. It happens, that the preservation of AMD Wattman causes a conflict, you need to remove it.

If the user wants to install the HDMI Audio Driver, you must select the default setting.

When the files are installed, the program will prompt you to restart the PC. Click on “No” and on “Close” in the lower right corner.

Testing Changes

To correctly complete the driver installation process, before rebooting the PC, run the pre-downloaded pixel patcher. it software is used to prevent the occurrence problems with editing DAG files.

Consider the fact that if you did not change the parameters set default for a graphics card in the BIOS, then you may not use it at all pixel patcher and restart your computer immediately after installing Blockchain Driver.

Getting started testing. Retrieve the contents of the previously downloaded archive patcher on your desktop or in a separate directory. After that, you need to run the executable file – “AMDdriver.exe”. As a result, the program will start.

If you want to get test results without doing verification of the signature, then just rename the program launch file, so that it looks like the screenshot shows. This is done for fix BIOS signature verification and ignore additional parameters.

Run the program again, for the BIOS signature check command, select the “found” command. Then click “OK”, thereby applying the settings.

When the pixel patcher is implemented, you can safely reboot a computer. If before this the user disconnected the Ethernet cable, then now is the time to plug it back in.

Testing ATI Drivers is not much different from testing a similar one. software from other developers. When the computer restarts, swipe quick check, to do this, launch the device manager (click on Windows icon and select the device manager in the menu that opens). Open the “Video Adapters” section. It is important that the video cards connected to the PC are displayed, and the operating system does not issue any warnings.
