nothing to do, this miner has problems, I tried to change drivers with clean uninstall, I put the drivers 14.7rc1, 14.9. 14:12 omega, always the same thing, after 5 minutes, the display driver has stopped working and it was restored, I meant to wolf0 how do you reach 10 mb of 290x ??
I have 3 cards r9 290x oc tri X, but nothing to do always go crash, I had asked for help if someone compiled a batch file, so I changed my user and pass and put my, but are days that I do not receive response, if any good soul who wants to use the bat file write its configuration'd thank him a lot.
i need help
Hi Marvykkio,
There is nothing special you need to put in your .bat file or .conf file (whichever method you prefer) other than starting sgminer with following options: (I write this from memory so please check by issuing "sgminer -h" to see all the options.):
| Option | Comment |
| --kernel darkcoin-mod | or whatever kernel you use. Wolf0 has slightly better kernels than anyone else although decent kernels can be found in this forum |
| --thread-concurrency 8192 | tipical number for X11 |
| --gpu-autofan | so that GPU fan speed is set automatically depending on GPU temperature |
| --gpu-powertune 20 | 50 for some cards, probably yours, which prevents GPU from throttling down due to excessive power usage |
| -xI 64 | or -I 18 whichever you prefer and are comfortable with |
| -g 2 | to start 2 CPU threads per GPU to feed data to it |
| -w 64 | to set the workgroup size. Really you should use the Internet to find out what these mean and how sg/cgminer works. |
-o URL
-u username
-p pass | these are standard... |
Now reason your driver stops and is then restarted as you say (sometimes restarts incorrectly and you need to reboot to regain proper hashrate) is almost always due to excessive clock speeds and when you "undervolt" cards too much. Also when lifetime of your PSU is near it's end (usually after a year of 24/7 mining) it will not deliver same voltage any more and this will manifest itself as excessive undervolting as well.
Most of the miners constantly battle with this issue and are happy if it happens once a week or so, or they live with 10%-20% lower hash rate, but have enhanced stability.
Now 10MH/s is probably too much to ask for from a 290X. In my experience, with decent kernels close to 9 MH/s is achievable. I personally mined at 8.7 and very low voltage.
I am running 1 Radeon R9 390x with the 8 gig ddr5, sgminer-5-1-0-optimized gives me 15 to 25 MH/s on x11==== 22 to 30 MH/x on quark ====== 20+ Lyra2REv2 ............
stats came from nicehash miner config ,
