waiting for this pump thats beent talked about.  Kind of wish I would've got some BTC when it was at its peak now...

Everything is working now!  Don't know what the issue was but uninstalling everything and re-installing everything fixed the issue!  Thanks everyone that pitched in some help.

Many times... I'm currently uninstalling everything and running a driver cleaner.  Then re-installing everything based of the links you posted.  Will post back with results.

You don't think a PCI Express riser would change things would it?

Intel HD Graphics wouldnt affect the gpu plotter from detecting my R9 290 would it?

Here is a better guide on How to use the Windows GPU Plotter:

Getting Started

---

Download/Install GPU Drivers and OpenCL support:

For Nvidia GPU Users:
(Sorry, I don't have an Nvidia GPU, so I don't have needed Driver/OpenCL info at the moment)


For AMD/ATI GPU Users:
Download/Install drivers for your video card:
(Note, you should already have video drivers installed. But you may need to play around with installing different versions of the driver for best performance)
Latest Version - http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+7+-+64
Archived Versions - http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous?os=Windows%207%20-%2064

Download/Install the AMD APP SDK for your version of Windows:
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/


Download/Extract the Windows GPU Plotter:
1) The GPU Plotter is archived in a .7z file, so you will need to Download and install 7-zip to be able to extract it (if you don't already have it):
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

2) Download the Windows GPU plot generator (v2.0.0):
https://mega.co.nz/#!2BNDXY4L!jgwHDZXDJyFp2Jg5mN8sxtpplgXEInSMf1cQGbPc5lM

3) Right-click & extract the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0.7z" file and select 7-zip -> extract to "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0\"


Using the Windows GPU Plotter:
1) open the newly created "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder that was created in the previous step

2) In an empty space within the "gpuPlotGenerator-bin-win-x86-2.0.0" folder do the following:
Hold down the "shift" key and right-click in an empty spot. Select "Open command window here"
(Note: the "Open command window here" option is only available if you hold Shift and Right-Click)
(Alternatively, you could just open a command window manually and do a "CD" to the folder containing the gpuPlotGenerator.exe file)

3) Run the following command to list the GPU's Platform and Platform ID:
Note down the "ID" number for the proper device platform, this number will be <platformId> in the next step

Example:


4) Run the following commands to find the DeviceID's of the device in your system, replacing <platformId> with the number you noted down in the last step:

Example:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list devices 0



Note down the "ID" number for the proper device to use, this will be <deviceId> in the next step
Note down the "Max global memory size" number, this will be the MAXIMUM <stagger> we are able to set

5) Finally, create the desired plotting information. Here is the basic syntax for the app:

<platformId> = The ID# we found in Step 3 (In my case, this was 0)
<deviceId> = The ID# we found in Step 4 (In my case, this was also 0)
<Plot folder path> = The folder you wish to have plots created (Ex: C:\Path to\plots)
<AccountNumber> = This is your Numeric Burstcoin wallet address (Ex: 11111222223333344444)
<StartingPlot> = The plot number you would like to start generating at
<NumberOfPlots> = The number of plots to create from the StartingPlot
<Stagger> = Amount of memory to use on the GPU, in MB. (Ex: I set mine to 1024, instead of my MAX of 1265)
<Threads> = Amount of parallel GPU threads to use (Typically either 64, 128 or 256 depending on the capabilities of your card) (believe this may be tied to "Max work group size", but have no way to confirm)
<Hashes> = Number of chunks the GPU will split work into. (Ranges from 1 to 8160, this is purely guess work... so start low-ish and try to go up as close to 8160 as you can as higher numbers stress the GPU more)

As an example, this is the command that I used on my AMD Radeon 7800:
Note: The above command is probably not optimized for the best speed... but it's just an example that works for my card

Where exactly should they be and what files?  I tried following the readme attached to the 2.0 plotter but i have no clue about the setup and how modify the makefile...

Same...

Thats what im saying, is that it only list the CPU and its Device number 1

I installed amd sdk 2.9.1.  After installation do i need to do anything else to get it to work?

not recommended due to "failed to submit share" error. cause of high pool load i think.

These directions are better than nothing, but I still start to lose it on step 6.  Where the hell am I supposed to find these ID numbers and why can't the damn program find them on its own?  And in the above example, it seems that a pair of zeroes are used for these purposes?  WTF?

And as shown in step 8 - go into more detail about how and why each character, symbol, and space was typed. Define what each group of numbers is and what I'd want to write there for use on a 7950 / 270X / 280X.  I need pictures and words and arrows!  To install it on 7 64 bit.

v.2.0.0 seems solid, thanks....

Also, could you explain the relationship of the stagger size/hashes ratio? It was kind of vague to understand it.

7) Find the DeviceID of the device to use:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe list devices <platformId>

(Note down the "ID" number for the proper device to use, this will be <deviceId>)

Type the desired plot information:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate <platformId> <deviceId> "<Plot folder path>" <AccountNumber> <StartingPlot> <NumberOfPlots> <Stagger> <Threads> <Hashes>

As an example, this is the command that I used on my AMD Radeon 7800:
gpuPlotGenerator.exe generate 0 0 "C:\Plots" 11111222223333344444 14670000 7335000 1000 64 1024
