so is everyone in agreement 14.4 is the best driver for 290x ? running 2 apps per GPU?

I think it's important to keep track of how long it takes to complete each WU. One user at Einstein@Home was reporting 3,300 seconds per WU on a newer driver when running only one WU per GPU. The same user was able to run two WU per GPU on driver 14.4 but the time jumped to 7,600 seconds per WU. So in this instance it was better to stay with any newer driver but running only one WU per GPU.

Your times looking great Gerry don`t worry.
It might be slightly more efficient to run 3 instances on your GPU`s with this driver.
But keep in mind to keep CPU usage below 50% at max.
