overclock the gpu http://www.overclock.net/t/517861/how-to-overclocking-ati-cards-in-linux. if you look here https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison your getting around whats expected at gpu engine speed 1000. If runs unstabe you may need to up the voltage if temps allow.

Sounds fantastic , what settings you
made here:
aticonfig --odsc=???,???

After looking into it more it looks like you would have to flash your gpu with a modified bios. I use winblows and normally use afterburner to overclock. That been said have flashed the odd card and is fairly straight forward to do.

You need to flash your bios first. Then you'll be able to hit the 650k at least, with common settings.

raise core clock is what you need now to push it further

What exactly do you mean ?
What parameter is a core clock ?

have you tried worksize at 512?

Just tested it , same ~703K

I can't believe no one has said this before....

If you're mining on a 280x, and using a TC of 8192 (which you should), you NEED to use "--gpu-threads 2". I've tuned dozens of 280x, with all sorts of settings, and this is always the case.

Thanks crazyates, I do use "--gpu-threads 2" otherwise it's 300Kh/s

Quote from: chaeplin on February 15, 2014, 01:41:07 AM

--gpu-engine 1050

I don't know why but only precise
--gpu-engine 1000
give me maximum performance.
Any other value give 100k less
immediately.

I've edited your config. Removed some unnecessary settings, tweaked a few others, and see if that works:

Ububtu ?!! Try this

export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100

# remove if work well
rm scrypt*.bin

That is the best I get so far,
the settings that actually matters here is:

"gpu-engine" : "1000",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"intensity" : "13",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",

if you will help me push it higher
you will get the reward:

start by lowering lowering thread-concurrency until you hit the sweet spot, might want to lower intensity first to 13, then when you find best thread concurrency up the intensity.

I have the dual-x as well and can only get 715K out of each. Try to pull engine clock down to 1035 in config I posted above.

I have 5 of them and use that config.

I didn't notice that they were the dual-x before I posted the 1050 engine clock in the above config or I would have changed it.
