Hi I have 3x SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC(UEFI) with Win 8.1 , latest cata drivers 14.4 and latest sgminer 4.1.271. Can I use this conf from above ?

"gpu-threads" : "1",
"xintensity" : "1100",
"thread-concurrency" : "25601",
"worksize" : "512",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"gpu-fan" : "80",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"gpu-memclock" : "1499,1499,1499",
"gpu-engine" : "1080,1080,1070"
You will need to figure out the maximum gpu-engine settings for each GPU.  You can start at 1080 if you want, and then every time a card goes SICK/DEAD, edit your config and drop the clock by 10mhz, and reboot the rig.

1080 engine is rather high, and many cards won't be able to run at this setting.

This card is good but it is not profitable to buy any more. Read up and understand difficulty...
Read up from when I made this thread and understand how forums work...
Also, it's still quite profitable if you are mining nscrypt or X11.

But damn... what a necro

they suffer from bad optimization in comparison to 750ti, cudaminer is a fucking beast right now, it lets one 750ti match one 280x, unbelievable

Are you sure one 750ti is equal to one 280x? I though 280x is still faster like 50% at least..

they optimized even more their cuda for x11, now one 750ti is euqual to one 280x, pretty sad days for amd

I have Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 and they all "creme de la creme cards", hynix mem, dual bios, stable oc, they run  cool and provide high hashrate. Too bad GPU mining is heading to an exit....

Mine is getting 180 kH for some reason, any ideas? Have Win7 64 bit, beta 14.1 driver, 2.9 SDK, power settings good, cgminer 3.3.1, tried all the tc's 32765, 24550, 25601. The curious thing is GPU Caps Viewer says the VDDC is 0 while it's running.

I own 8 rigs, so I have done this before. My reference MSI 290's get 830, but this card is strange. Anyone check if both BIOS are the same?

Thank you

Hey, I realize this is offtopic but quick question. I realize the .conf file is JSON and I understand how to configure it, but how do I pass it to sgminer once created?

sgminer --config sgminer.conf

I'm at a solid 870 kh/s with my single card.

What is your conf.?

My current settings (stable for over 12hr so far, looking like they will be what I stay with for now):



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",
