Ok I'm ready to burn my computer.  Someone please help me.  I have a R280X that runs Cryptonite at 485h/s and according to the charts should run Equihash around 290 h/s.  I'm running claymore 12.6 on Slushpool and when the miner starts it does 275h/s.  It then begins to throttle down in steps down to 145 h/s and sometimes lower.  I recently watch it go as low as 40 h/s before climbing back up to 145 h/s.
Does anybody know why the rates are so low, and also the -i and -il commands do nothing to the hashrate.
I'm running the "blockchain" drivers but had the same problem when running AMD 15.2.
Any ideas?

I don't even try to find out what errors like that mean these days. I just reflash a clean install (I use SMOS for Tahitis) and flip it back online. Fixes the "problem" 9 times out of 10, especially with Tahiti cards.

I spent way way too much time trying to get Tahitis to work right in Linux, Win 10, Win 7 and fglrx, catalyst 15.12, blockchain driver, AMD-GPU (yeah, I didn't get the memo), etc. It was a pain in the ass on every OS and always fragile if I got it working. I use SMOS because it's plug and play for my 7950s. YMMV, but I would suggest you at least make an installable image of your drive as soon as you get the drivers running in any OS.
