LOL, at least you can get ~320 with your 290x, I can only get ~310 before the HW start climbing..  Stupid Elpida memory is what I'm blaming for that. (XFX 290X)

That speed is due to a lot of things.  One of them is the 14.6/14.9 drivers, another is the wolf compiled 64 bit version of SG5.1, and of course the 2 big keys are the wolf kernel and hours of trial and error.

Never tried the driver change on the other algo's, as my first venture outside scrypt was being involved in the early beta testing of neoscrypt for GPU's, and to get any speed at all the driver switch had to be made.

BTW I got another 10℅, programming on the phone.

So you're hitting 330+ with a 290 and I can get close to 320 with a 290x overclocked to 1040/1500.  Do you think this is due to you using 14.9 drivers and dropping the 14.6 files into the mining directory, whereas I'm just using 14.6?  Have you observed any benefit/negatives for X11 or other coins when you do this?

Still creeping up on the speed of the 290's on neoscrypt, with the stock kernel... (GPU 2 & 3)

I do like the Sapphire Tri-xx 290, although the trixx s/w is for crap..

Sorry man, maybe I'm getting a bit frustrated; I've been here since Page 1 of this thread, meticulously bugged ystarnaud to implement a ton of fucking features and bugfixes and improvements, and have provided him with great feedback and also this entire community on the thread with multiple configs, test cases, driver version feedbacks and a ton of other shit.  Yes, I don't have a build environment so I can just tweak what I want, and badman74 and Elun and Elbandi have provided me with so many versions of sgminer5 by now it's hard to count.  I feel like any of the advice, configs, trial and error I have done and posted results here for, has only really shot me in the foot.  It appears in the mining game there's no reason ever to show anybody else how to get their shit set up right, because if there's isn't set up right and mine is, then that would mean I'm making more than they are.  I thought it was essential to giving back to the community.  I don't make the miners, the kernels, but sometimes I do find out what makes them faster, and I share it.  And now it's making me regret it, since we end up having to wait for table scraps ("leaked" kernels as opposed to shared) and having to deal with listening to fuckers brag about programming skills when they should just crowdfund it for a price to open source it or something.  I don't know.  As I said, frustrated.  You can see how this happened with neoscrypt.  It was profitable for a few days at best, and now I haven't seen it on westhash as most profitable in the last week.  It got ran into the ground, and we weren't even at its most optimized yet.  The field is way different than when scrypt was here - everybody shared there - it was a common struggle.

281kh/s. It went down from my previous settings.

for your 290x try thread concurrency of 16384, xintensity of 3, 2 threads, and worksize 64.  I get more than 300 kh/s with those settings with a reference 290x at stock clocks (1000/1250).  I'm interested to see what you get. 

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Unfortunately, I missed these replies and went ahead and tested with 13.12.  That's a couple hours I'd like to have back.  Is there a particular reason you like installing >14.9 drivers and then drop the 14.6 files into the directory?  I usually just use 14.6 rc2.  Maybe it's more stable?, my new windows install seems to have developed stability issues.

Any suggestions on settings?

I don't use that one, but a 1500 memclock would probably help.

10 minutes programming, 10% faster :-)

290X can get a little higher, but not much more than the 7970.

That's pretty good for the stock miner.
