fyi I tried kminer-1.2b miner referenced in this thread
My system Windows 8.1 running Cat 13.12 drivers, cpu 1 core sempron 145
3 x 7970 PowerColor cards with Stilt mod bios running 1080/1500
kminer-1.2b give 1627h h/s at 600 watts, dev fee 0.7%
vs
claymore 8 cat 13.12 1620 h/s using 650 watts. dev fee 5%
So kminer1.2b and Claymore 8 are just about the same at mining speed, but dev fee is lower 0.7% vs 5% and uses 50 watts less on my rig.
Nice to see some competition
for me claymore 8.0 works better, speed is almost the same, but temps, and power consumption are less on claymore.
