  more hashrate at the same electrical cost as claymore
  im way more stable now i havent had a rig down other than manual restarts

  No dual mining yet
  Pascal covers all my electric bills (and even a bit more) so ETH is clean income with claymore to me now.

  I agree, if they can add dual mining it will certainly change over a lot of people. Dual mining is very valuable.

  Really? How much do you pay in electricity? I only get about 43% of my electricity paid for with Pascal. I am at a small disadvantage in that I can't run the blockchain drivers on my win10 Fall Creator install because it crashes the OS, which would mean I'd get max 50%.

  Use Win 10 LTSB. Or switch workload from "gaming" to "computing" in driver settings.

  I was sceptical but I think Phoenix is more stable than Claymore, it hashes slightly more stably and can handle greater undervolting before card crashes. I have noticed is uses about 1% more watts at the wall though using 18.2.3 drivers.
  
  Phoenix really is a viable alternative to Claymore now.

  Thanks for the tips. I'll look into them.

  I use phoenix for a while too. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you can run 2 instances of miner. Lowering ETH intensity, you can for sure run a 2nd miner for Decred, cant you?

  yea claymore dualminer does nothing but lower intensity for both
  i know ppl who been dual mining for years without claymore
  u have one memory intensive algo and one core intensive algo u can usually dual mine with tweaking
