Im getting less CPD with the new miner v10.2. Less ~-15% in all my gpus. I have 290x, 290, rx470 and others. Im using the blockchain driver.
With the 9.4.1 version, i get 14,5 cpd on the 290x's, but with the 10.2 version im only getting 10 ou 10,5 cpd
Do you recommend a specific driver version?
Im doing experiments with other drivers
xpmclient 9.4.1 has kernel compiled with old catalyst 14.6 driver (blockchain driver not optimal for xpm), new 10.2 miner don't have that.With the 9.4.1 version, i get 14,5 cpd on the 290x's, but with the 10.2 version im only getting 10 ou 10,5 cpd

Miner version 10.x uses file names like kernelxpm_gpu0.cl for first GPU, kernelxpm_gpu1.cl for second, etc. You can try copy kernel from miner 9.4.1 to directory with 10.2 and rename it according to rules, but it can be incompatible (for example it not works on linux with amdgpu-pro drivers) or use another drivers.

For Hawaii (R9 290X) optimal driver is old Catalyst 14.6. R9 390X not supported by this driver, I recommend use Catalyst 15.12 with replaced amdocl* dll from 14.6 (tested on ubuntu 14.04).For rx470 almost all Crimson 16.x is good, 17.x and linux amdgpu-pro gives poor performance (less than 7 CPD on RX470), don't use it.
