AMD launches the Radeon Crimson ReLive 17.10.3, which officially offer support for up to 12 graphics cards, something only compatible with the AMD RX 500 Series and AMD RX 400 Series.

We have been reviewing the latest drivers from AMD, the Radeon Crimson ReLive 17.10.3, which offer performance enhancements in games such as Wolfenstein II, Destiny 2, and Assassin's Creed: Origins. Within these drivers there are also some improvements when it comes to optimizing the performance of graphics cards. Specifically, within the Global Settings, the Compute Workloads parameters, directly intended for cryptocurrency mining, have been optimized. This technology is intended for the RX 500 Series and RX 400 Series graphics cards.

The peculiarity, which initially we had not seen, is that these new drivers have also been developed with mining in mind, since they offer support for twelve graphics cards, yes, under Windows 10. We can find motherboards on the market with up to 19 ports PCIe, where to install the graphics cards through the risers. Only through special BIOS and specific mods, more than these twelve graphics cards can be operated. We emphasize that it is only compatible, this with the Polaris, not with the RX Vega, which are not being purchased for mining, due to their high cost and how energy inefficient they are, that even with modifications such as reduction of the vCore solve the problem.

We must emphasize at this point that some problems have been detected with these drivers and is that lately AMD has released quite poor and unstable drivers. Some users report possible freezes when using mining systems with 12 graphics cards installed for a long time and errors have also occurred when changing the workload while using CrossFire technology, which will no longer be used by AMD, due to its inefficiency. The only solution given is to disable the CrossFire.

As bonuses, we leave you a video that we have just uploaded, about a configuration of twelve graphics cards. Do not miss it.
