I run the Claymore 14.1 and 14.0, the differences seem to be the way the card is handling the straps is subtle, but there is a little bit of a difference on the Polaris cards.
Our group is seeing some cards that have not as good of memory, with settings that work great in 14.0 are having throttling and blue screen issues on 14.1.
Also experiencing some weird strap errors on one of my Vega's, but it might be my card. It says it cannot apply strap setting to this device.
I am seeing the Polaris on the cards running much better on 14.1 when the memory is good. I had a card go from 31.2 to 31.5 for my Sapphire 590. and my 570 went from 30.68 to 31.2 mhs. Running at 2250 strap and 850 core voltage.
Make sure when you set your straps, and if you have different cards or memory types, I strongly suggest using the command line to control your voltage & clock speeds via cclock, cvddc, mclock & mvddc.
I have experienced and seen other members with the cards on 14.1 and 14.0 act differently So you may need to manually setup each card this way. Only use the Wattman Tool & afterburner tools to control your fan speeds, until or unless Claymore states that he has resolved the fan control API issue.
We did have a couple members get their Vega 56's and 64's clock in 48Mhs to 50 Mhs but i was unsuccessful but i have issues with my cards.
With 14.0 and you have a mixed environment, do your -di 0,3 - if your RX are on card ID 0 & 3 then do after your strap code -di 0123, this actually will re assign port addresses to your cards. I had to do this with one of my rigs that is a mixed Polaris Vega. The Polaris will be come id's 0 & 1 then the Vega's became 2 & 3 instead of 0 & 2.
One question i have is, on the Polaris the strap tells you the POL8H1 - meaning Polaris 8 GB with Hynix memory as very helpful and informative, however the Strap does not provide any information as to its settings or card information with the Vega series. Is there a way to have the line display more information or is it a limitation of the driver?
With the AMD Tweak tool i was able to get my 570 to run at 2300 Strap but on the Claymore it clearly is cap'd at 2250. Any suggestions? 2300 will get a 570 to 32.1 Mhs.
I also wish we could hammer home to everybody, with the memory strap being controlled by the Miner, REGARDLESS if you've modded your bios or not. The strap timings will be the same. As all the BIOS mod was doing was modifying the strap timings.
I know this post is all over sorry answering questions and posing a few while i'm at it.
