Topic: AMD R9 290X? - page 15. (Read 108829 times)
I read somewhere about flashing 290 with 290X bios, that could be interesting if it's possible...
The card as it is now ($550, 300W, 95ºC, stock cooler) is a bad deal for mining. Better get 7990, 7950 or 280x
Who said it's bad that it runs at 95c? It's a safe temp for those chips...
As far as power draw, the guy who posted results reported 270w+- for 900kh/s, which is pretty decent imho.
The 290 non x should draw even less power and run cooler since it sports less SPs, and will probably overclock more. If you undervolt a bit you should be set with a par of em, at 400usd.

Some power consumption numbers
6 Core AMD CPU
SSD drive
Watercooled GPU and 1 80mm fan
2 monitors hooked up
167 Watts at idle
415 Watts @761Kh/s @1085/1500

Thanks for sharing, looks like I will pass until the price of the GPU drop..
I got a 280X and I'm able to get ~740KH/s @ 1100/1500, I love this card and I want to order 10 more!
Running @80C at maybe 30DB, its almost silent.
I really want to get a 270 and see if I can get 700KH/s, because its almost 100 USD cheaper
270x is a 7870 ghz card...you won't get more than 350-400 with it.
280X is a 7970.

Yeah why the hell would you wanna mine bitcoins with your GPU anyway?
Current difficulty is just too high.

I guess people didn't notice me emphasising bitcoin in my comment.
i think people just assume you weren't talking about wanting to go back to GPU mining of bitcoins.
Thanks for sharing, was waiting for an answer before this...
It's readily available...
I suggest waiting for the r9 290, should draw less power and be slightly slower, whilst costing $100 less.

Any idea when they launch this card? I always though they launch it together with R9 290x...
Last info 5th november.

If those numbers are correct, then the 280x is better for mining. They are a bit cheaper than 7970, and hansh at about the same speed.
To be honest, i was expecting a bit more from the 290x..
Those numbers are obviously correct for the one guy that posted them. That doesn't mean it's some sort of reference for this card, even more after releases with custom coolers. To be honest, i was expecting a bit more from the 290x..
So did someone actually report hashrate for scrypt???

Nope, it launches on the 31st...I'm gonna go for that one, it seems to be more cost effective for mining. If ckolivas optimizes cgminer for it we should be able to get over 1000kh/s with proper settings and some oc, whilst drawing 275-300w.
Thanks for sharing much info, would be waiting for the launch
It's what I do...:p I write news articles for an overclocking site here.
We'll all be waiting, my wallet is ready xD

Who among you here are preordering this gpu?
