Hi there,
Spent a few hours yesterday trying to figure out a config for 290x, alas to no avail.
So far I can't mine anything, even a bare 280x or a 290 config does not work (GPUs reset all over the place, nothing works).
And my GPUs work very well with LTC, UTC, YAC etc. So it's not a question of whether they are broken or not. They're fine.
Many thanks to whomever helps me out & take care.

How many GPUs, how much RAM and can you post a config you have tried? Perhaps somebody can spot the problem..
Per rig: 2 asus radeon r9 290x GPUs, 24Gb RAM, xxTB disk, win7 64 and vertminer 0.5.3
No matter the options I always the screen flickering before the OS gets back to me with a lousy message telling it had to reinit my GPUs.
I tried the 7950, 280x, 290, and even 290x setting given on the vertminer thread but without success.
I would so love to flip that bic to crisp that chick...
Thanks y'all for your help.
This might not sound right, but it fixed a similar problem I had with one of my rigs recently, re-flash motherboard BIOS. Don't ask me why or how, it just worked.
I'm sorry but I fail to see why should I reflash the mobo bios because I can't mine vert-scrypt whereas it works perfectly for everything else.
Does not make any sense to me because this can't be a communication problem otherwise it would not work with other scrypts.
I won't do this.
This could be a simple config error sometimes they are hard to spot. please post your config.
