AMD blockchain drivers – Radeon Crimson ReLive mining driver

It's no secret that AMD Radeon graphics solutions are very popular among cryptocurrency miners. Especially for them, the Radeon Technologies Group programmers have prepared a new driver package, designed to improve farm performance based on red graphics cards. The latest release is called the Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition Beta for Blockchain Compute, is available in versions for the Windows 7 and Windows 10 operating systems, and supports most of the current AMD video cards, starting with the Radeon HD 7700 line.

It should be noted right away that the new driver has the status of a beta release, is not intended for graphics or gaming loads and is provided by the chipmaker “as is”. In the future, the company does not intend to engage in further optimization or fixing "bugs", which makes it the first and last package of drivers for mining systems.

In terms of specific improvements over the regular Radeon Crimson ReLive driver packages, our colleagues at Legit Reviews note that the new release addresses the issue of decreasing Ethereum mining efficiency. The graph below shows a comparison of the performance of video cards with a regular and new specialized driver.
