It does not work with the CGWatcher-1.4.0.1 Any idea why?

Are these hashrates with your sgminer in your signature?
yes it is telling the server my hasrates so it can decide what algo's are profitable for me

I'm getting significantly lower hashrates on my 290x than you are, so I'm going to try the sgminer in your signature with the settings in your codebox. Are you on Windows? I'm Win 7 x64 with 14.4 drivers.

Thanks!
win7 x64 with 14.6 drivers and 2 sapphire 290x cards

Looks like the drivers made all the difference. Thanks!

Using your config, changing only my BTC address, it crashes instantly. Hmmmm....

He has gpu-map which may not apply to you, and these two things

Code:
"gpu-engine": "750-1000",
"gpu-memdiff" : "300",

May not apply to your cards either.  As stated above, if you are on 14.6 or higher AMD drivers, you cannot aggressively overclock anymore; must specify your stock clocks.
script and nscript are tthe ones that give me HW errors so if i ever go back to them i may set my clocks for them

Yep yep, I grab the nightly builds every day that dude has 'em wrapped up.  There wasn't one for the 11th, but I'm on the 12th one right now on 14.7RC 7x64.

I get this usually.

scrypt: disabled
nscrypt: disabled
x11: 5.5
x13: 4.2
x15: 3.6
x14: 4
nist5: 16.5
qubit: disabled
keccak: 470
fresh: haven't tried yet

badman74 tones down his intensity's a bit, so may be why he's in my range but around 100Kh/s off.

I'm going to do exactly that, then. Really, man, thanks for your help.

Edit: Wow. Getting 4.2Mh on X13 now. Looks like the drivers made all the difference. I tested before and after the new 14.7RC1 drivers-deleted bin files. Wow. Thanks platinum4!

14.6RC2 or 14.7RC will offer speed increases over 14.4 for X?? algorithms.

Correct.  14.6RC1/2 & 14.7RC have a performance-type increase with groestl, which is not inherent in 14.4

An alternative working configuration for 290X is

This is particularly for 2 Sapphire R9 290X 1000/1250 stock + 1 Sapphire Tri-X OC 1040/1300.

You must basically hard-code your gpu-engine to match your stock on 14.6RC1/2 & 14.7, auto-gpu does not work on these drivers and if you set something lower or above your rated stock clocks, the sgminer instance keeps trying to reset your GPU every 2 seconds to whatever you specify, but fails to ever do so.
Thanks for sharing that. I'll try the NH portion of your config and see if I can get it working. Are you using the version of sgminer available on NiceHash at https://nicehash.com/software/#sgminer? What are your hashrates and where are you telling the server what they are so it can decide which algorithm to change you to, or is there any need of that?

Thanks for your config and your help.

Should I upgrade my AMD drivers from 13.12 to 14.6?  I'm seeing so many people say they get better hash rate out of the driver upgrade, but also have read about people seeing HW errors, etc.

Is there something I would need to do after upgrading, ie. copying files or something, that would make it work better?

anyone tested 14.7RC?

Yep I just dropped 14.7RC on all my W7x64 rigs and, haven't seen crashes as of yet.  I wouldn't expect there to me a performance increase over 14.6, changelog says it has all the increases from 14.6 and barely a few additions.

Still.  They appear to work okay; unsure yet of the longterm stability.

is there instructions anywhere on how to install the 14.6rc2 drivers on PIMP mining software?
http://www.reddit.com/r/BAMT/comments/28xu3i/add_amd_146_drivers_and_djm34s_optimized_sgminer/
And be sure or delete your old bin files or it won't do any good
edit: rm -fv /opt/ifmi/*.bin to get rid of those bin files
