Hey all....I've been quietly watching all going on here and I have a couple of questions.
How come when I load up my Zeus/Fury miners /w the latest (4.3.5, I think) CGminer, I get only about a third of the end hashrate? By end hashrate I mean 'at the pool end'. Sure, the GUI for it says I'm right on the money. At a 340 clock speed it shows a 1.7Mh. But that sure isn't what the pool rate says, and that's the one that counts. I even back it off (clock) and still the pool hash is soooo much smaller.
Here's the kicker...if I go back to the old 3.1.1 curse CGMiner....works fine and I get about what I should. So...WTF? Am I missing something in the translation? I'm no pro, but not a newb either. I've tweaked the .conf file, etc., and it ain't right. Has anyone else been seeing this and if so, how the heck did ya fix it? PLEASE.....tell me!
I need to know. I've lost sleep. I've been up ALL night.
Second question; Has anyone seen a difference in the hashrates between the GenA releases and the latest? I have a GenA Fury and a newer, recent order one and, WOW. What a difference in those. Can anyone tell me WHY? And Yes...before anyone asks...I've ensured that my informal testing has been on a level playing field. Same drivers, software, etc.
Oh..I should say: Win8.1 64, i7, 16G ram, nVidia, yada, yada. Further, I have 'no clue' how to compile or write code. I work with what's out there and tweak the sh$t out of it. No hardware mods, etc. Out of the box stuff only.
Thanks for any and all help, kind people. It is very much appreciated.

Arrrgghhh! My hair, my hair!! I'm about to quit and go back to 3.1.1.
Who's cgminer fork are you using? If you're not using Dmaxl's fork I would suggest trying that (https://github.com/dmaxl/cgminer). I strictly mine using linux based controllers (rpi or PC)...so if you're on Windows I'm not sure what to tell you. Maybe get an rpi? It's wicked easy to get things going on the rpi platform. You can even try rpi mining firmware like Starminer, Minera, Minepeon, etc.
