v1.4 released, mining speed is faster by 10% now.
This information is not correct. I am seeing an increase of 16% in mining speed. My 290s now mine at 80k each.
Edit: Getting total round time of 570-580, varies a little card by card, cards running stock clocks. Using I7 4770k.
Yes, it is possible. For example, I get about 12-13% speedup on 290X. But it depends on hardware so I stated non-optimistic value
