Just installed the new AMD 14.6 driver for a modest 10-15% boost on X11(darkcoin) without changing anything else at all.

Some people were reporting up to 80% more Hash on some cards depending on the algorithm so I thought I'd give it a try!!!
Seems you can tweak setting a little more as well, so I may be able to improve more with some other tweaking.

Warning: Keep an eye on your temperatures while tweaking with this driver!


This might muck up your graphs a little  Tongue
I am on 14.4 and 13.12 depending on what rig, but I have heard EXACTLY the opposite.
I have heard 14.6 gives 10-15% lower hashrates, and people are going back to previous
versions.  You may have just got higher hashrates because you did a proper clean uninstall
and re-install.

Is that for Scrypt or others?    I tried scrypt and I had a slight decrease in hash on the one coin I tried.   I don't bother with scrypt much anymore, power is expensive and scrypt is double the rest.
I think the 80% increases were for groestlcoin.

I did a clean install last time, I just wacked this one over the top.   I haven't had a problem in years just wacking the new drivers over the top with AMD, they seem to have a good uninstall>reinstall system these days so its not really over the top of the last, your just trusting AMD installer to do a better job then it used to, and I believe it does.

I'm pretty lazy tho, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!
