win7 x64 with 14.6 drivers and 2 sapphire 290x cards

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


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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

yes it is telling the server my hasrates so it can decide what algo's are profitable for me

anyone tested 14.7RC?

is there instructions anywhere on how to install the 14.6rc2 drivers on PIMP mining software?
