First, solo mining and pool concepts are incompatible.
Second, the number of shares you are looking at pool or miner? On the pool every hour there will be a different value even using one miner. And the average error is also not worth forgetting.

Appreciate the second look.

By solo mining, I mean not dual mining.  NOT mining on my own full node.

The number of shares accepted is from the pool, averaging over at least 48 hours and also looking at 95% (remove top 2.5% and bottom 2.5% of values and calculate average)

SoloOnly mining ETH on nanopool

Systems specs:

Win 10 x64
64 GB ECC RAM
Vega 64 + GTX 1080 Ti

Each software was run on the same machine, using the same drivers for a few days. The overclocks on the cards were the same.

I'm getting ~82 Mh/s and a healthy shares/hr is >70% of Mh/s which is 57.4 shares/hr.

The difference in shares/hour between claymore-10.3-nofee and claymore-10.5 is slightly over 5%

This is not rigorously scientific but hopefully a helpful first attempt at discovering the most effective and efficient mining software and supporting  developers properly.
