Title: r9 290 im about to commit suicide` Post by: rodneycrypto on March 30, 2014, 12:48:43 AM i just installed a fresh version of windows 7
latest catalyst cgminer 3.72 tried using a variety of settings and cant get anything to work except for all hw errors or error -4 on cgminer cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://doge.netcodepool.org:4093 -u darer234.1 -p x -I 20 -g 1 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1000 --thread-concurrency 28456 --gpu-powertune 20 was trying that but getting error -4 Title: Re: r9 290 im about to commit suicide` Post by: frostamation on March 30, 2014, 12:54:27 AM lower your thread concurrency to 8192, just to see if your miner works. if it does with no hw errors then increase thread concurrency.

Run it at stock and try thread concurrency of 20480 or 20481. Also need the two setx commands above the cgminer line in the .bat file.

I run 16x r9 290x here, and they all do very well. Title: Re: r9 290 im about to commit suicide` Post by: gadado on March 30, 2014, 10:23:54 AM Did you try with cgminer 3.5.0 too?
That one has a pre compiled exe for windows. I used that one. Make sure you have done this. (Took me days to figure out that this is really required for cgminer) setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 best to add before the miner call in your .bat file my settings for a R290x: cgminer 3.5.0: -I 20 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 32768 Also check if you have conflicts with other applications using or setting your card in strange states. I switched to X11. (sph-sgminer) (darkcoin and such) Because it's a lot more pleasant. (heat and noise and power consumption) Works with the same setting parameters. You might try out that miner.
