after about 24 hours of test, I find 0.6 gives 0S/s for some of my cards more often then 0.5 which is never Sad ,
so switch back to 0.5 for now

plus, all my GPU usage is around 78% up and down, none of them is reaching 100% like mining other coins


For the 7970/280x, the GPU usage is about 85%. For the newer 390 cards, the usage is about 100%.

so does this mean the miner is not fully optimized for old GPUs?

I think the miners are not fully optimized for all GPU. For the new GPU such as R9 390, only 30% of the memory load.

Bit of a compensation that you get more out these older generation GCN GPU's with less usage. Have 7870XT which have seen couple of altcoin hay days still giving a run for the money for 390 with this zcash. Wouldn't mind to get that old hottie fully utilized thou.

EDIT: There seem to be other miner giving half of the daily income you get with genoil's miner. It's more stable, nothing good script cannot fix. As always in a world of altcoin, miners discretion is advised.
