In any TRUE test if you can't run the environments in the EXACT same settings the the results are not valid.
The cards are in the EXACT same settings when you start the miner. But the opensource will trottle and downclock itself automaticly. This is a test of the quality of the kernel at a given powerlimit.
OK then send me your kernel and I will down clock your kernel to the open source to compare the speed. That way it is speed for speed.
I have Maxwell and Pascal and none of my clocks have down clocked on their own. My cards have been the opposite. Boost has kicked in and my 1070's are running at 1840-1850 and never went to 1600.
I just want to see a fair comparison over a period of time.
