Best configuration we found was (SLI Disabled):
If it's AMD, wouldn't that be Crossfire?
good catch ..
were doing a review on 2 780's using cuda miner and its on my mind 
NP just ragging on ya a bit. All in good fun.

In this episode the BBT dives into the Sapphire Toxic R9 280x Toxic and its performance hashing, both from a open air aluminum, traditional case both open and closed and finally with some external airflow provided from a fan. Additionally which settings worked best for us for a strong and solid performance.
We build a crazy fast traditional PC to push these cards to the limits both from a mining rig and gaming perspective, figuring with just two why not build an great PC in the process.
Best configuration we found was (Crossfire - Disabled):
-I 13 -w 256 -g 2 --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 1070 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-vddc 1.100
As for the PC build the specs are:
Carbide Series® Air 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case
Intel i7 4770k @ 4.6ghz (stable)
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming LGA 1150 Motherboard
16gb (8x2) Corsair Ballistix Memory
2x 240GB Kingston HyperX SSD - set to Raid0
eVGA Supernova 1300W G2 Power Supply
Let us know what you think! While I know its not hashing Bitcoin our channel's next few episodes are going to cover 2 topics I believe a lot will be interested in:
1) Deep dive on the pseudoscience behind finding the right set of configurations
2) Explain through visual animation (building as we speak in After Effects) what is double spending, how if 0 confirmations it can occur and 7+ confirmation's via peer to peer solve the issue
