proplem solved, it seems GPU-Z does not show the right amount of GPU load for this work (I guess it's still made for 3D-gamers).

in cgminer and Overdrive the GPU Load is shown as 100%

normal as when the pool detects new block and finish the work on previous block load reduced.Also if it is mining than no problem.

Try dropping -I to 12 to 16 and see if that gains ya anything im only
on a 5770 and get much better at lower intensity

Hi fruor,

I have a feeling this would be better suited posted in the Mining section.

I'm very confused why my hashrate seems OKish at ~800kh/s with my Radeon R9 290 but under GPU-Z my GPU Load shown in GPU-Z is constantly low at 0-10%

I am running on Win 7 64bit Ultimate with cgminer 3.7.2
Here is my setup:

cgminer --scrypt --auto-fan -o http://p2pool.org:9327 -u yaddayadda -p bla -v 1 -I 20 -g 1 -T --gpu-engine 920 --gpu-memclock 1430 --gpu-fan 63-85 --gpu-vddc 1.100 --temp-target 85 --temp-overheat 92 --temp-cutoff 97 --thread-concurrency 27472 --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9000 -u bla -p foo

I deleted the .bin files and tried to add -w 256 and --lookup-gap 2 but still no improvement. The card is getting higher temperatures and consumes over 300W power, but the GPU Load doesn't seem to go up
