...which shows that your rounds are way too short to give any meaningful result. Especially with an algo like x16R... and even more today when the network is having a massive difficulty rape.

Dude, this is two different miners and they need different intensity --i params for optimal working! It looks like --i 22 is optimum for t-rex but it isn't for z-enemy. Z-enemy need -i 19/20 param it's optimum for that miner.
Nah, I’ve optimized these in the past on my system and z enemy performs better at 21.5/22 intensity. I can test them again at different intensities (or their standard intensities). This is a test of the intensities that run the best on my machine.

Remove d=15. Its to slow for 2x1080Ti. And next round run without -i. On default intencity.
I'm not running static difficulty (see my post). I will probably test intensity at a later time.

ROUND #1: ~11 hours
z-enemy 1.16 : 38.63 RVN: pool link
t-rex 0.5.7 : 42.50 RVN (+10.0%) : pool link ***** WINNER ROUND #1 *******
t-rex takes round #1 by a solid 10% in earnings. could be due to the variability in the X16R algorithm, so we'll need a few more rounds before we declare t-rex the winner.

ROUND #1 complete. I will post results here soon. On to ROUND #2 , I switched which set of 2 GPUs is used for each miner.

Head to Head test of Z-enemy 1.16 Vs t-rex 0.5.7 (X16R Ravencoin)
I've been wanting to compare performance between z-enemy and t-rex on the X16R algorithm for some time. This will be a test done in the vein of JackIt's tests in the past, where I ask which miner puts more coins in my wallet?
Setup: For this first test, I'm using a 4 GPU rig with Zotac 1080 Ti Minis running Windows 10 x64. I started an instance of each miner at the same time (using 2 GPUs each) running on the same pool (Ravenminer) and the same machine. The miners will run for ~12 hours (started around 8AM PST 8/15), I'll stop them simultaneously, and we'll see how many coins are in the 2 wallets. I will likely run this test 2-3 times to ensure that the results are consistent.
Overclock: 100% TDP, +110 core clock, stock memory
Drivers: 398.82
Miners: Z-enemy 1.16 x64, CUDA 9.2, intensity 22 (thread here) vs. T-rex 0.5.7 , CUDA 9.2 , intensity 22 (thread here) . Both miners have a 1% dev fee. Running auto (server set) difficulty on both miners, it appears to stabilize in the 60-75 range. For the first test Z-enemy will use GPU0&1 and t-rex will use GPU2&3. For the second round, I'll switch which GPUs each software uses to control for variations in hardware & PCIe slot.
Results:
ROUND #1: 650 minutes
z-enemy 1.16 : 38.63 RVN: pool link
t-rex 0.5.7 : 42.50 RVN (+10.0%) : pool link ***** WINNER ******* (GPU2&3)
ROUND #2: 750 minutes
z-enemy 1.16 : 109.63 RVN (+7.3%): pool link ***** WINNER ******* (GPU2&3)
t-rex 0.5.7 : 102.16RVN : pool link
Round #3: 250 minutes
z-enemy 1.16 : 39.79 RVN (+13.7%) : pool link ***** WINNER ******* (GPU2&3)
t-rex 0.5.7 : 35.98 RVN : pool link
TEST FAILED!!!
GPU2&3 are winning every test (rig unbalanced). I'm going to redo the test on another rig in hopes of conclusive results.
