#1 AMD Drivers

Post by Silver »

Just wondering if I should upgrade my drivers, I seem to have random crashes whilst crunching poem but not primegrid.
What version is everyone using and getting on okay with?

Thanks for your :help:

I've had issues with some of my systems running AMD GPUs.

My dual tahiti system was running 13.12 prior to the last moo wrapper challenge, but I couldn't get it crunch moo wrapper. Upgraded to crimson at first, but was warned about issues with it so I dumped that put 14.9 on it. GPU drivers kept crashing after that, even when not crunching. Had to pull the tahitis and put nvidia cards in it. Haven't put the tahitis back yet.

I'm running CCC 14.9 on two other systems with tahiti GPUs in them and haven't had any issues with it.

Thanks chaps.
I might give the crimson driver a shot and see what happens.
