16.9.2 amd drivers - super!

1. They broke old cards (like 280) frequencies change in 16.9.1 - fixed
2. Windows test mode/self-signed drivers are not needed for modded bios cards. The same as for 16.9.1.
3. At last! Now you don't need to plug a monitor to a amd card in order to view/change temp/freqs/etc. For example I can plug monitor to iGPU and set freqs for a amd card using MSI Afterburner or similar tool.

Great news. Was always a pain plugging in the hdmi

Just downloading to give it a spin.
Actually I've modded the BIOS of one of my ref RX480 using 16.9.1 drivers under Windows7 and I can confirm that it didn't require the whole hassle with test mode and self signing.

I wonder if this would also be possible under Windows 10 now? I really want to switch to 10 since I can't get Windows 7 to recognize all 6 GPUs, but I've also read that people had quite some issues getting self signed drivers recognized there... Anyone tried this yet?

No issues with Win10 x64 + 16.9.1 + 7 GPU + modded BIOS
I definitely will use win10 for rigs in the future, much faster to set up than win7.

Any change in hash rates?

I see no change
@Coreol I'm using Windows 10 and 16.9.2, test mode is not needed anymore. 6x GPU rigs including rx4**

@muzzy124 @Zorg33 Thanks for the feedback. Yea 10 is definitely easier to setup and with some tweaks even faster.

can it be done with wattman? no need to plug in hdmi for it to work? Im also using the integrated card but need to have the hdmi plugged in, thanks for the info, downloading now
EDIT: for me it does not work, no wattman or MSI without the hdmi plugged in, and hashrate is the same for the xtx gtr rx480

it seems it works on a rig with at least one old card with analogue video output, while DVI monitor is connected to igpu
my 6x480 rig still requires HDMI plug for full control, but I haven't test dvi/HDMI monitor plugged to igpu yet
