Hi guys, first post.

I've done a couple extensive test using Pheonix 4 and claymore 11.8.  I've noticed claymore is finding alot more blocks solo mining in a "pool".

I've also noticed in task manager that claymore shows one gpu use plus gpu 3d -0 on the right side of the task manager.  It's the same gpu coming up everytime.

Now Phoenix will show different gpus popping up in there randomly, the question id like to know is,  would this affect solo mining in any way? Because honestly, I'm getting  twice the amount of blocks on claymore at a slightly lower speed ( yes I've underclocked all cards alot lower than recommended to see if the load on cards was too much to solve problems successfully.. but it didn't make much difference, pushing them too hard on the other hand, did.( and wasn't getting memory errors))

So, can pheonix miner actually solo mine, or is it just for pool mining?(even though I'm soloing on a pool)

I'm just not sure how the miner works, how a pool miner would be diff from a solo one, is it telling the cards to go about solving a block any differently?  Because this seems too consistent for claymore to be finding more blocks..

P.s has anyone made a gui program to monitor the efficiency of each card, just to see if it could be doing better, I know some cards like slightly slower speeds to be more efficient..... talk about f"ing pedantic..

I'd love a reply from a miner developer!

Thanks fellow miners.
