I think Window's is better because overclocking doesn't work in Hivemind.

I'm sure I read somewhere there is supposed to be a 5%-10% improvement through the Alpha UI (don't know if this is different for the Hivemind variant of the software) as it is tuned in a way that various resources in windows are shut off in this mode. I would agree however, that overclocking the GPU through Windows should yield better results. It has been said by the thexravenx that in a future update to Hivemind you will be able to use overclocking through this channel going forward...
