Can you explain with is different with this build? I tried it and I'm getting slower performance than with the previous version. I'm running 14.4 drivers. Thanks.
What GPU you use and how much CPD you see?
Can you run benchmarks (xpmclient -b) with versions 9.4.1 and 10.0?
GeForce GTX 750Ti results:

XPM mining with 750Ti can be profitable after optimizations, if performance reaches 4+ CPD.. I think, it possible

So to answer your question, I'm running an R9 290. I was getting about 9 CPD with the new version and the older version I'm getting about 14 CPD. (I know this isn't the benchmark you were looking for but I'm away from my computer.) Again, I'm running the 14.4 drivers.
What performance are you seeing with an R9 290? It the performance lower because I'm using older drivers? If so, which version would you recommend?
Thanks!
