Did you check for lattice parameter changes? A relatively small change for a single unit cell can translate to something larger. Unfortunately you need a reference compound, which is not so simple in your case. Perhaps test SiO2, TiO2 & a few simple similar compounds with the PAW & Wien2k. ---

If the disordered compound goes metallic ??? it could be a problem. The default WIEN2k is using TETRA, while VASP uses a large broadening. Again, forget the 400 eV of the PAW calculation. It has NOTHING to do with our RKmax and our basis sets are usually more efficient. In any case,

This looks fairly large. I do NOT understand your statement of using "the same RKMAX" ??? PAW does not have RKMAX and their KMAX has NOTHING to do with ours. What was your RKMAX and what are youre sphere sizes ??? k-mesh: not only the grid is important ! As far as I know, VASP usually uses a

Dear Wien2k mailing list, I've been doing some calculation on a moderately large (around 100 atoms) amorphous-like SixTi1-xO2 cells produced by simulated annealing MD in a PAW software. According to my colleague who did the final force relaxation, the residual forces on atoms should be around 0.5
