Topic: Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC - page 4. (Read 27826 times)
started mining Ultracoin with Scryp-Jane algo.... everything works perfectly here! so it seems some cards have a problem with the scrypt algo lol
looks like not all Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x OC are good for mining.
The fun part is, I can play games like Battlefield 4, Tomb Raider etc. etc. 24/7. No problems here. From now on this is my new gaming card, wanted a new card for gaming anyway
Btw.: Look at GPU-Z, the memclock of my card won't go over 150MHz in cgminer. As soon as I start playing a game it goes up to 1300 and stays there until I quit.

Hii im using windows 7 64bit cgminer 3.7.2
if someone need it, this is my setting, avg 980 khash/s
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://THEPOOLADRESS:PORT -O YOURUSERAME:YOURPASSWORD -g 1 -w 512 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24550 -I 20 --gpu-engine 1022 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20
Instant crash if someone need it, this is my setting, avg 980 khash/s
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://THEPOOLADRESS:PORT -O YOURUSERAME:YOURPASSWORD -g 1 -w 512 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 24550 -I 20 --gpu-engine 1022 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20
what are your settings phzi? i cant pull much more than 912 on both of mine.
Right now I have stabilized to:
Code:
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"xintensity" : "1100",
"thread-concurrency" : "25601",
"worksize" : "512",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"gpu-fan" : "80",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"gpu-memclock" : "1499,1499,1499,1250",
"gpu-engine" : "1060,1060,1060,1020"
This yields consistently over 945KH/s (945-948) and over 900KH/s (901-905). Reject rates are down around 0.3% (almost all my rejects are because of vardiff causing Share above target), and WU is consistent with hashrate.
The 1250/1020 card faults after about an hour if I push it beyond 1040, so I pulled it back to 1020 as seems to be stable so far.

My cards are running 875 with a power consumption of 315 watts.
Ratio 2.77.
Cany anyone beat this?

Power consumption really doesn't matter at current mining profitability, unless you are paying a lot for power. Tuning power consumption might be relevant later to extend the life of equipment, but right now you should be optimizing output not power consumption. My rigs pay off their monthly power consumption in 1-2 days of mining, bringing that down slightly and losing a big chunk of income makes no sense.
I have 3x R9 290 Tri-X OC running at over 945KH/s, and 1x running at 930KH/s. (The 930KH/s won't take the memory overclock, so it runs at 1250). Max temp is 75 degrees at 80% fan.

Regarding RAM... WTF are you guys talking about? I have my 4 cards running with 4GB of whatever-was-cheapest DDR3 RAM. If you need more RAM for mining, you're doing something wrong.

It would be nice if anyone could include the power consumption as well.
I'm not intrested in 950 khs with a power consumption of 450.
Thanks

Hi!
Im pretty novice about Gpus and found this thread when i was googling, so was wondering if any of you more advanced gpu guys know anything about my problem.
i bought two R9 290 Tri-X OC and they worked fine first ours. But now i cant change the fan anymore on one of them?
Fans spin but will not increase how hot it gets .. Is there a reset switch etc. .. or what can I do?
Tested gpu in another computer with the same results, running at standard speed despite 90 degrees in the Valley Bench
Would be very grateful for some advice so i can start to play with the mining settings.

My fans still run at a very high intensity even after shutting down sgminer; with the above configuration. Anyone know what I can do to resolve this? Thanks!
this is my config:

guys can you tell me what the switch on the card is for on the r9 290 tri x oc?
Is this a second bios or what?
Because 290 wont have uber mode correct?
where can I download newest sgminer?

I believe the switch is for two different sets of BIOS.
Regarding getting sgminer. Here is the link to the reddit about it.

And here is a forum link talking about it.

Make sure you guys are using sgminer (3.7.2 cgminer fork) which includes a ton of code fixes for the R9 290s. This fixed any issues I had. It's bundled with the new BAMT 1.3.
sgminer was recommended to me last night in a thread Tenchi referred me as well. I absolutely could not get decent performance with BFGMiner with the R9 290X TRI-X's but with SGMiner it was smooth and no issues with the miner part.
Now I'm struggling to get Windows 7 64 bit to recognize more than two of the GPU's at once but that is another issue altogether.

Had the same problem as you initially.
My rig has 5 cards, 1 x Gigabyte 7950, 2 x Gigabyte 290 (reference), 2 x Sapphire 290 (Tri-X)
The tri-x would continue to driver crash regardless of which bios switch I had on, or whatever clocks I used (even 947/1250) would crash.
I flashed the bios on the tri-x to the Gigabyte 290 (reference) bios and now its working flawlessly.
Heres the link http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/147971/gigabyte-r9290-4096-130930.html
Left clocks at 947/1250, also undervolted by 31mV and am getting 850kh/s stable.
My system is using 4gb ram only.
not the whole thread just the post I have linked ^^
I started reading where you posted. Thanks again! I'll report anything I find out. I do think the part about setting a different worker for each card is what I've run into but the overall hash rate even with one card is far too low. I also need to back up in the thread to find out how to see what type of memory my cards have. I got 14 of them from the same vendor at the same time but until I get this worked out I've only messed with 5 cards.
I uninstalled MSI Afterburner when I installed TRIXX because I thought at the time that MSI Afterburner wasn't recognizing the cards.
I also needed to order DVI-D to VGA adapters. It never occurred to me that they wouldn't be included in the package.

Thanks Tenchi. I've got that thread bookmarked but that is a lot of reading to get through. 170+ pages but I'm digging there as well.
