not yet, will be out buying another 8GB ram (need it anyway) and test with more than 8GB ram.
does anybody know how I can see which bios on my card is enabled?

hehe yeah. but I'm so happy right now that it is working 
that's the switch possition which is working for me.
but can't get your clocks driver crashes after I start cgminer. but I'm happy with my results for now. worked 48 hours and then there is that little jumper
edit: strange, after 50minutes cgminer stopped working.... will try new setting tomorrow

As the world most famous (and only) Crypto General I used google. But I have to admit that it takes some time until you get that information. For some reason Sapphire missed out to publish an introduction/manual for that jumper.
my hashrate is 877khash/sec with clocks @ 1000/1350 fanspeed 60% temp is 63°. and the whole system takes about 310 watt.
btw. how did you found out about that switch lol looked in the instruction manual and they don't mention it there. I really did not see that tiny little switch when I first looked at the card lol

And you hash rate is? Besides, "uber-mode" will only provide that the card is getting more power and is not shutting down early if it reaches 90°C. Since the Sapphire TRI-X is running very cool you may never need it anyways.
hm.. I switched it to the opposite and now it is working for around 10 minutes lol
Well, I don't have to care about the consumption 
But I will see next week on how much is needed.
@Tenchi Its the position towards the power connectors.

These are the settings in my .bat that I'm using with one of these babys:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
-I 20 -g 1 -v 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-engine 1040 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 85 --temp-cutoff 75 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune 0
You may achieve better results by turning on powertune. I'll get a stable 973Kh/s @ --gpu-powertune 30. But its not worth it compared to the effort. Oh, and I'll have 8GB total under WIN 8.1 (yes, crappy OS, I know). The card runs @ 66°C 24/7. I'll have to mention that it's a card with Hynix memory.

Nice stats... what's the power consumption?
loooool I haven't seen that switch on the card. that is a damn tiny switch.
edit: can you tell me: what is the switch position for uber mode? from the platine view: left or right?^^

Miner version is 3.7.2 and I didn't changed the voltage. Only thing I do/did is a) turn the jumper on the card to "uber-mode" and b) set screen resolution to 1024x768 and c) use a mono-color background for the desktop (I prefer blue). Maybe the last two settings aren't doing anything but I don't have any issues with drivers so far. I used a tool to erase any old driver software and then I installed 13.2.

Awesome hashrate! I tried your settings but after a few seconds an error pops up saying that AMD display driver stopped responding and then the hashrate drops abruptly.
Are you using default voltage ? What's your cgminer version ?

well it is working now. but after ~1 minute, display drive has been restored and stopped mining. man I'm sitting here sinc 48 hours and don't know what to do. tried windows 8, now I have windows 7 x64. have tried all catalyst from 13.10-13.12. and everytime the same.
thanks to your setting it is working now, but how I said, screen gets black for 1 sec and windows says it has restored the displaydriver.
btw did run furmark for about ~5 hours without problems.

Yes I use afterburner and set powertune to 20, forgot to mention.
hum this is quite strange 
I have 8GB DDR3 and get a stable ~880kh/s with my 290 Tri-X using -I 20 -g 1 -v 2 -w 512 --thread-concurrency 32765 with clocks @ 1000/1350. I'm on Windows 7 x64 and I use cgminer 3.7.0 with catalyst 13.12.

will try your settings now. have you set clocks with msi afterburner or an equal program?
I agree.. with 8Gb installed it could be.. it wont hurt... but it couldnt be!
thanks for your helpokey forget it, 8GB is NOT enough for this card, ordered another 8GB so I will have 16GB in total. let's see how it wil work out tommorw
maximum Intensity I can set is 13. all above crashes cgminer (doesn't matter which version)

Anybody manage to get the power consumption for this GPU compare to 280x and 290x?
I never got to the power consumption part of this card. im curious about this to! Because they do slurp allot
