The long-awaited update from AMD pleased miners using Radeon graphics cards for cryptocurrency mining. Recall that after the announcement and sale of the latest mining equipment from manufacturer Bitmain, which mines Ethereum, the efficiency of AMD chips sharply declined. Therefore, the event AMD: driver update for mining was eagerly awaited by all cryptocurrency miners, who did not forget to criticize pools and the graphics card manufacturer on social networks.
AMD: driver update for mining
The Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.3.4 update affects only AMD graphics cards used for cryptocurrency mining. No new features for gamers are included in the installation package. Developers emphasize this point before users download the update.
According to AMD representatives, there are no plans to further fix bugs or release a new update in the next quarter. One can only hope that programmers have written the code “by hand”. Otherwise, miners will face serious problems. However, experts assure that when the next “asic” appears on the market, AMD will respond in time and equip Radeon owners with updated software.
AMD error 1603 – add the “AMD” folder from “Program Files” to antivirus exclusions
As for the update itself, it is not necessary to choose a “clean install”. The program applies the update on top and works after a computer restart. Users may be disappointed after installation by AMD error 1603. It appears when there is no access to the libraries of the installed update. This is resolved by adding the AMD folder from Program Files to the antivirus exclusions and restarting the PC.
