Still dont get it how this would help...

with the memclock dropping to 150 instead of whatever you have set it at, every time you attempt to mine a coin, it spikes up, causing it to run at the speed you set for that duration. problem with this is that it creates a delay and ultimately slows down your hashrate from what it could potentially be. proof is in the pudding to be honest. i tuned my 290x up to 1200/1500 for a few mins to see the hashrate (don't expect it to be stable because i haven't modded voltages) and it hit 3.8MH on x13 and stayed there until my system froze. it just helps.

(anything i say is just what i see happening from my POV, if it is inaccurate then apologies. same result in the end though!)

we allready knew about this one, but sadly my cards for some reason refuse to go as low as 150-200mhz for memory.
is there some bios version that allows you to reduce you clocks so low ?

there isn't one, but you could mod your own bios to do it using a bios editor (they exist, but as i haven't tried any myself i can't recommend one). why would you want your clocks so low?

Pretty sure they miss understood the solution and/or the problem to begin with.

sounds about right. lemmie chuck you a screenshot of my current miner (x13 mining with 2 x 290x)...

can up my intensity more, but diminishing returns and all that...

I tried reducing memory clock to 200 but not helping.

i know this works for a fact on the 290/290x cards and am glad it helped to bump a couple of people up.

my apologies, i haven't seen this before and it wasn't meant to offend in any way. I figured this out entirely on my own and thought i'd help people.

from what i read there, it fixed the memory downtuning but there was no mention of it helping to stabilise memory overclock or even allow the use of higher intensities so at least I can contribute that myself.

Delusions of grandeur and overestimating one's intelligence, must be a millennial.

i found a stunning little gem that works for my cards and quite a few others too.

If you ever watch you memclock drop down to 150 when mining x11/x13 then this will help you increase your GPU's hashrate.

go grab MSI AfterBurner to start off with and then open up the settings.
look down to where it says unofficial overclocking mode and set that to "without powerplay support". allow MSI AB to restart and then run your miner.

your hashrate will be higher than it was before!

I have also noticed that i can now run at higher intensities producing more hash without it falling over.
Have had a report from someone stating this allowed them to get their memclock to 1500 stable where they couldn't before.

I hope that this helps people to get the most out of their cards!

edit: starscream found this solution before I did, i was unaware of this.
