I appreciate you sharing this, I'm following.  I actually don't have miner control running yet though.  Out of curiosity which ocl files did you drop in the wepaybtc sgminer directory to get a 20% increase and was that only for your 7750?

Ha, I use the scattergun approach and copied the entire contents of C:\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-Omega-14.12-With-DOTNet45-Win7-64bit\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\B178093 after extracting the drivers.  With the older 14.6 drivers it was C:\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-14.6-RC2\Packages\Drivers\Display\WB_INF\B173241.  Basically search the extracted driver folder for amd_opencl32.dll and grab the folder contents.  This seems to work for most, if not all sgminer forks regardless of what card.  After you copy in the drivers, delete the *.bin files.  Of course I always keep a working backup folder before messing with it.

For the record, I went from having a reported WePayBTC BTC/day of 0.00006 to 0.00019, an increase of 316%.

That's insane and it's still only the 3rd most profitable.  So you have 14.6 installed and you dropped 14.12 into sgminer?  I did this with 13.12 and 14.6 drivers last summer but I need to test this.  The only reason I can think why one might not want to mine with wepaybtc is they have their sgminer configured to use 1 thread and crank up the intensity, so that may use more electricity, I'm not sure.  My cards were crashing but I think that was due to mining X coins with Stilt's bios.
