Optiminer 1.6.1 seems to be some 15% faster on 280x and 270x, power draw is equal.
I see about a 15% increase on a Radeon R9 380X (175 h/s vs 200 h/s)and about a 35% increase on a Radeon HD 7870 (125 h/s vs 175h/s) using Optiminer. However, I've found Optiminer to be far less stable than Claymore. I've been having to restart it every 3-4 hours and I'm also seeing "block" pixelation pretty consistently while Optimer is running. I do not have these issues with Claymore and for that reason I've switched back. At this point in time neither application is perfect, so pick your poison. I'm hoping Claymore's next release can match (or exceed) the speed of Optiminer while remaining a stable build.
hmmmmmmm So far optiminer hasnt crashed on me once. Maybe scale back the core clocks ? running 380s, 390, 280x on 15.12. Maybe i'm just lucky.
Yep, 20+ rigs running optiv1.6.1 and rock solid, not a burp for days.
