HASHRATES

Apparently this new driver does affect hashrate positively in some cases. The most positive changes are:

RX 580

From 27.2 to 28.1 MH/s
From 24.5 to 28 MH/s
From 28.5 to 29.6MH/s

RX 480

From 20 to 21 MH/s while dual mining ETH and Siacoin.
No change in power usage

RX 470

From 25.5 to 27-28 MH/s

Though in this case there were some stability issues. Also, the user who achieved those results was not able to undervolt the card.

Just switching to this driver raised my hash rates on all of my cards 1 to 2 mh/s but obviously results may vary.
