Title: 280X BAMT
Post by: NameTaken on March 01, 2014, 05:41:47 PM
I'm able to get 740-750KH/s from my Sapphire 280X Dual-Xs in Windows but I can not seem to get them over 660KH/s in BAMT and SMOS. Currently running BAMT 1.5 and have TeamViewer installed so I would appreciate it if anyone can offer remote assistance.

Make sure GPU threads is at 2

Try changing thread concurrency between 8192, 8193, 8191 and 11200.

Setting the threads to 2 prevents the miner from starting and setting the thread concurrency to anything but the stock with intensity of 20 reduces the hashrate. I gave up and went back to Windows.

Do NOT use BAMT 1.5. It uses the newer 14.1 BETA drivers, which absolutely SUCK for mining. Reflash BAMT 1.3, which uses better drivers, and you'll be all set.

We lost ~100kh/s when we tried BAMT 1.5, and we immediately went back to BAMT 1.3 on all our rigs.

And yes, the optimal settings for those 280x will be using 2 threads, with a lower TC. We use SGMiner 4.1, TC 8193, 2 threads, and the zuikkis kernel, and we get anywhere from 740 to 780KH/s on our Gigabyte cards, depending on RAM type and core OC limits.

Got same result with BAMT 1.3 and 1.5. With SMOS 1.3 I got 700+ but still not on par with Windows. A dedicated Windows mining OS looks interesting.
