I tried checking out www.ravenforum.org...seems like the site is down...it wont load up for me  Undecided

I've re-linked it. This guy on Ravenforum runs interesting tests.
https://ravenforum.org/topic/32/enemy-1-08-various-settings-test-results

From his test:
Enemy 1.08 various settings - Test Results

For this test: I used a single 12 GPU 1080Ti rig on Windows split into three mining instances. All three mining instances were balanced to get as close to the same hash rate as possible. Each mining instance is running at the same time on the same machine on the same pool .

The instances/rig are managed by Awesome Miner, which restarts the miners for various reasons, based on rules I set.

Static pool diff set to 66, miner intensity set to 21

The plan is to do three rounds of testing, each round lasting approximately 8-12hrs, at the conclusion of each round I'll rotate the miner to a new instance, until each miner has had a chance to run on each instance. I'll also normalize the results to averaged blocks found per round.

Miner details:
Enemy 1.08 - 1% dev fee

Round 1 - 131 Blocks Found - Duration: 720 minutes (one restart for "80% TDP / +250 mem")

[Instance 1] Normalized: 147.40 RVN / Raw: 155.72 RVN - (80% TDP / No overclock) Pool Link
[Instance 2] Normalized: 142.50 RVN / Raw: 150.54 RVN - (80% TDP / +250 mem) Pool Link
[Instance 3] Normalized: 152.37 RVN / Raw: 160.97 RVN - (100% TDP / +250 mem) Pool Link

    Notes: I'm not sure why, but (80% TDP / +250 mem) generally had the largest deviation between miner reported hash rate and pool reported hash. Miner reported hash rate for all three instance tended to be very close, with less than a 10% spread (typically ~5%) from high/low.

Round 2 - 112 Blocks Found - Duration: 671 minutes (No Restarts)

[Instance 1] Normalized: 157.09 RVN / Raw: 141.89 RVN - (100% TDP / +250 mem) Pool Link
[Instance 2] Normalized: 146.90 RVN / Raw: 132.68 RVN - (80% TDP / No overclock) Pool Link
[Instance 3] Normalized: 145.39 RVN / Raw: 131.32 RVN - (80% TDP / +250 mem) Pool Link

Round 3 - 129 Blocks Found - Duration: 633 minutes (No Restarts)

[Instance 1] Normalized: 139.23 RVN / Raw: 144.84 RVN - (80% TDP / +250 mem) Pool Link
[Instance 2] Normalized: 143.31 RVN / Raw: 149.09 RVN - (100% TDP / +250 mem) Pool Link
[Instance 3] Normalized: 133.23 RVN / Raw: 138.60 RVN - (80% TDP / No overclock) Pool Link

Normalized Average Results
