Then why stick with hiveOS? If you are getting more hashrate/performance on windows OS then stick with windows OS, a YouTuber named Caleb who is now getting more popular everyday use T-rex on windows to get 26mh on those cards too and he never switched to hiveOS till now, use what works better for you
Windows has another problem, it is the increased power consumption due to the graphical interface.
The processor needs more power, more information is loaded into the memory of the video card.
From each farm on the hive, you save several tens of kilowatts per hour.
And Windows is more inconvenient for administering a large number of farms
I am not agree. I have tested the same rig with HiveOS and windows, and what should i say -> it uses the same 880 vs 880 -> with some tweaks i get better power consumption on windows (we speak about 10w less from the wall)
Windows needs much less energy and ressources than many people think.
You can administrate windows with awesomeminer very good. But i think we need more monitoring software for windows and local. I hate that all goes over a browser like HiveOs, minerstat and so on.
