getting more/less shares accepted is not indicative of better or worse performance (seeing more of one color than the other)

I would highly recommend using the AMD 16.12.2 drivers that Claymore says to use for the Rx 400 series with his miner. It looks like your Zcash hashrate is just fine, but if your Eth hashrate has dropped without you changing the clocks at all then I would uninstall the drivers, use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in safe mode to remove any traces of AMD drivers left over and then reboot and install the AMD 16.12.2 drivers.
his is because each pool (for the most part) uses vardiff which adjusts the diff of a share needed to be solved for a successful relay to the stratum server and be counted toward your hash rate tally.
this is how things are generally balanced out where a single gpu owner submits shares at the same pace as someone that just got the latest asic hardware from bitmain.
you can specify independent ports to bypass this if your pool offers it but at your stage at mining i'd avoid it.
cooler temperatures are better so theres no issue there. sometimes at hotter temps a gpu throttles back and hashrate is sacrificed.
constantly reinstalling drivers has been known to be detrimental to performance when not properly removed each time.
i'd try a fresh format and reinstall of your OS and go from there.
also if you're going to stick to nicehash learn about how it works more.. if you're going to mine ethereum it might be better to mine it outright on like f2pool for a paid per share basis which is more consistent payout wise and then u can sell it for bitcoin when the price rises, possibly buy some back as the market dips.
once you get things working right i think you will enjoy it more.. good luck
Hi, okay i will try a fresh install of windows, gee i need to see what files i can keep and not keep i dont know how u guys do it,but i have so much stuff downloaded i dont know where to put it before i format
I want to cry now .
But u reckon my hash rate should not change and my graphics card is not broken ? i really hope so man,i dont understand it, and i even have a fan on it in case it gets hot and i have even placed a 80 mm fan on the back plate to push the heat away.
I have checked FAQ for nicehash but i dont understand it very clearly i dont see under the hood changes that can be made for miner settings, for example, how to add a --intensity 5 for example, instead of the default.
I have used textpad for example and searched the entire nicehash directory looking for strings in files which i can change, i dont win with this. Also even how nicehash decide what to use , i dont know how those settings work, but anyways i dont know if i want to play with it ?
