What is going on with the failed to mine dev fee?

The RX 4 series works better with 16.x drivers.  I cant speak for the Fury, never had any.

In theory this is true but it is possible that only the asic power is dropping while the rest of the package is going up to make up for it.  Use hwinfo instead of GPUz, it will show you multiple power readings.  You can usually add the core power and "GPU Chip Power" together and thats your actual at the wall wattage. (your results may vary!)

Basically there is more than core voltage, asic values and TDP. These are the things commonly thrown up on these forums because they are the easiest to understand/adjust.

Afterburner does not change the bios.  Some cards you can lower the core voltage with it and you can adjust the power limit on most, if not all cards to some extent.

set your diff higher and see if that helps.  Flypool default is 2000.

lots of reasons have been discussed.  Simple answer would be look at the base core clock for both cards.  1060 is higher.

claymore has said from the beginning for someone else to make a miner better than his and he will lower dev fee and/or beat theirs.  So instead of talking a big game, just make it.  Then you can say whatever you want.

35% more expensive for 35% more hash.  We know.  You are not unleashing secrets here...

All my 480s and 470s with my "silent roms". Great work for Polaris!

-Power consumption reduced by about 5-7%
-heat reduced per card about 5C on 470s and up to 10C on 480s
-hash increased by 5% average

Thanks man, this is what I was hoping for over huge speed increases for old cards.  Also since switching to encrypted, never had one rig drop for 3+ days now.

Will you gives us a heads up on the Polaris power consumption increase (if any)?

Since most of the posts are now becoming the same thing and blaming the miner for card(s) going down or whole system crashing until one or more cards are removed with v8,9,9.1 I figured I would try to clear this up.

There have been posts saying check your psu and such but that is clearly not getting the point across. Each version of claymore uses slightly more power so there are really only a handful of issues to check before posting for the majority of the issues here.
1. PSU  wattage load
2. PSU ripple suppression
3. PSU voltage regulation at different load variations
4. Bad risers and other cables. (Least likely if still working in other versions)
5. Incorrectly configuring windows

All PSU are created slightly different even at the same rates wattage and having way more watts than you're using doesn't mean you're running your psu at a better efficiency.

If you're using a multi gpu setup you need to use a gold or higher rated PSU. The evga super nova / super flower leadex series have great ripple suppression.
Keep each PSU at at maximum of 80% load and keep it cool!

There is much more I could get into but it would require knowing each rig full hardware config. 

implying claymore writes all the miners for the world.

hold until Feb 2017 

Since this is windows only, claymore will have to skip right to version 10.

When the dev fee connects it does not count towards your sol/s numbers.

Confirmed on Pentium G3240. i-0 Getting 75-80 with both rx470s and 480s under 50% cpu.

Changing to i-2 lowers H/s by 5-15 and at least 75% cpu use at all times.

Thank you Claymore, you deserve the fee for your work!
