Here are my results using ethminer's benchmark mode. Clearly AMD dramatically lessened the DAG impact over time.
However, I too have power consumption issues. Consumption
doubled (!) over my normal setup, presumably because I can no longer adjust memory voltage in WattTool.
Is there another way to adjust memory voltage with these drivers? Windows 10
