In case you missed it, Claymores Zcash is out. Looking at 50sols on a 470. Haven't found a 480.
Are people so excited about the Claymore Zcash miner because it supports Windows? My SILENTARMY Zcash miner is as fast as (if not a hair faster) than Claymore. And open source. And zero dev fee.
Maybe I should prioritize Windows support higher?
Underclocking and undervolting, that's the difference, otherwise I would still use your miner. It is really fast and stable.
If I knew I would be mining zec tomorrow I would make custom bioses for zecmining for every amd gpu I have and use your miner. But I don't. That's why I have to stick with Claymore now. Finding the power/ hash sweetspot for different algos is so much easier in windows (afterburner etc).
That 20/80 rule still works. 20% of miners owns 80% of the hashrate, and they are using mostly linux.
