calling all sapphire r9 290 tri-x oc users. post your settings

what settings and hardware are sapphire r9 290 tri-x oc users implementing to get the highest hashrate


please post

cgminer version
driver version
any bios changes
motherboard/cpu
hashrate
any other relative info

maybe even a pic of your miner :)

i just bought one of these cards and am having problems, it will mine good for a day or so then it will corrupt the driver and i will have to uninstall in safe mode and install standard vga driver to get it to boot, then go into normal mode, uninstall catalyst, reboot, and install catalyst again. sometimes twice, then it will mine for a while more and do the same thing so obviously i am trying to pair the wrong stuff together

I'll post my settings later on if I remember :)

I had issues eith mine but have found a solid 820 khs which I know is a bit under but its stable.

had to set TC to 26000, gpu clock is at 1000 and mem is on 1250.

I did have it running at 1500 mem clock but it crashes when cgminer is closed.

I have noticed windows update shuts down cgminer too, every time there are updates oufstanding cgminer crashes after exactly 12 hours.

I worked hard for my 910+ khs/850 WU.

But i can tell you where i started:

I reformatted my computer entirely because i had nvidia drivers before.
