Just an update.
Downloaded the latest version last night and mined lyra2rev3 last night and did notice a slight increase in hashing performance.
Switched over to CN R just recently and got everything running within 10-15 minutes no problems. I did not measure voltage or anything but settings have been left mostly the same as with CN v8. Im on Windows 10 1607 with the network update. I think most of the drivers are the 19.x.x but might have a few on 18.x.x. Performance seems to be on par with what it was before and now just testing for stability and longevity.
Overall this is probably the smoothest fork update for my little farm! Im liking the addition of color, so much easier to read things lol.
Another quick update, I just measured power from the wall on one of my 3x vega 56 rigs and im reading slightly under 600w total system power. So Almost bout the same as CN v8 maybe even a bit less. This system is using wattman for my settings. Other systems have a soft power table mod and using overdriveNT. Looking very stable but unfortunately difficulty is still mighty high.
