Sorry it won't be for bitcoin haha but alternative cryptocurrency. I've heard some good stories about the R9 290 ?

I've got a r9 290 and can get about 950kh/s out of it undervolted.

Is this on one ? r9 290?

Yep on just one. Bought it off Coingig when btc was at 1100 for 0.25BTC

any differences between xfx/msi/sapphire & gigabyte 290x's?

Would you mind posting your entire set up?

Not at all, I've two main boards Z87 Pro, each have 2 R9 280x cards. I'm waiting for powered risers to add more cards. I've a 1200 watt PSU on each, so I'm not expecting problems upto 4 cards. The board has 6 PCIe slots.

Currently I'm getting 750-760 khs out each of these cards with the following settings in guiminder-scrypt using CGMiner

--gpu-platform 1 -d 0 -w 256 -v 1 -I 13 -g 2 -l 1 -T --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --auto-fan --temp-target 65,65 --temp-overheat 85,85 --temp-cutoff 90,90 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1080,1080 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0 --no-submit-stale --thread-concurrency 11200

I can only get 820Kh/s from mine, its the Sapphire R9 290. Would you be willing to share your cgminer settings?

I'm using several of the R9 280X cards. Though they are hard to find now. Have a look here for a comparison: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

ah gotcha. 7950 is the best I think in terms of power/performance. 290 i don't think is worth it over a 280, but the R9 cards are just a refresh of the 7xxx series cards.

this will probably help you:

For bitcoin, i wouldn't bother with GPU mining - better to grab some USB erupters if you're starting out .

Hi all I would like to get my lovely behind into mining. And was wondering which card / setup is the best out there at the moment?
