Hi everyone, I've caught interest in cryptocurrencies a while ago, but I only read and thought about it.

Now I've decided to give it a try on my current oldish rig, just to get a bit more familiar with it, and possible gain some change.
I'm on windows 10, latest drivers, with an XFX 7950 mining with Claymore's dual miner for ETH +DCR/SIA etc. (version 9.3).

I'm mining in dual mode, Ethereum and Decred, and my hashrate is pretty low, around 10.5 Mh/s for ETH and 325 Mh/s for DCR, where I should be getting around 16-18 for ETH, and much more for DCR (I can't find exactly how my card is supposed to perform here, but apparently more than 1000 Mh/s).

Now, I've already tried rolling back drivers to 15.2, or whatever is the version that Claymore's miner is suggesting, but it didn't change a thing.
I've also been mining on the same pools (nanopool for ETH and Suprnova for DCR) for a couple of days now, but the rate hasn't increased even slightly.
Also overclocked the gpu a bit to squeeze more performance out of it, around 1025 core and 1450 mem.

Is there anything else that I can do to increase my hashrate, or is it actually where it should be?

I'd rather not use a dedicated OS for mining, since I'm using my only desktop rig to just "get something" when I'm not around to use it, but maybe a docker could help?

Thanks in advance

7950 is being thrashed by the DAG and cant keep up anymore. What you are seeing is normal. These are not good for Eth anymore since they can only do RX 460 numbers with 3 x the consumption.
