Most likely you will notice little to no difference. Even if you gain a few mh/s, you're likely to have lost more profit during the downtime while installing a Linux OS and a miner than you're going to earn from the extra mh/s.

That's what I thought. I'd have to switch in the mornings before I leave home to Linux.

In Linux, you cannot easily overclock the GPU core above BIOS limits. Using MSI Afterburner in Windows, its a click of mouse.

Fortunately, with the Catalyst 11.6, you can overclock beyond the BIOS limits under Linux now.
