AMD R9 290X?

[Samir_H]

There must be valid driver on CD that come with card.

No extra options tho

No extra options tho

Not surprising really, the 280X is just a 7970 with no voltage control

Dont know about the voltage control, I was able to lower it with 20% in CCC?

stefffe, any chance that you could measure the power it draws with a kill-a-watt?

I got that thing in a closet somewhere, Im feeling too lazy right now (

[l3jmr]

looks more like a 7950 to me do you mind sharing from what store you bought them from, the ones im usually buying from dont have them yet...damn it

Guys,
everything is rebrand exept the R9 290X
HD7970 = 280X
HD7850 = 270X
HD7770 = 260X

The 260X is similar to a 7790 iirc, but with "true audio". It's not a rebranding.

So, The R9 290 boasts 2,560 stream processors, the current top model, HD7970 has 2048.

Simple math tells us that the 290X should have around 20% better results than a 7970.

So lets say a HD7970 gets to 750Kh/s, a R9 290X should get around 900Kh/s.

The 290 series have 512 bit bus and the 290X has 2816 stream processors. So, we'll be looking at 1Mh/s

That's what I thought, 1mh/s for 250w sounds good to me. But too expensive at launch...650usd, yikes.

[superduh]

i think the thing to do for ALTCOIN mining would be to pick up the old cards being discontinued. or just leave the network as is

[fattypig]

No extra options tho

1) How much did you pay for your R9 280?

2) Can you download Trixx and test if it is able to lower down your voltage?

3) Can you also let me know the hash at stock clock?

Thanks

Nice 

If you have time can you test it on litecoin or any other Scrypt base coin?
I want to see how many Kh/s it gives. Also please try to post watt usage

[stefffe]

Atm Im getting more HW than accepted shares so I guess something is wrong with the command line settings. Could maybe have something to do with the card being stock oc'd

Hi,

I have been testing different settings for scrypt and I think im doing something wrong with the settings. Atm I only get avg 585 khash with these settings:

,
"intensity" : "13",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "0",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"shaders" : "2048",
"gpu-engine" : "1110",
"gpu-fan" : "10-90",
"gpu-memclock" : "1605",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "86",
"temp-target" : "76",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "120",
"scrypt" : true,
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",


If anyone has a clue what to change for more khash please say so I have tried higher Tc with lg 1-2 but that doesnt work at all.

Here are some cgminer settings that should be good to go for scrypt

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://ftcpps.nut2pools.com:5565 -u yipyip.11 -p x --thread-concurrency 21712 -I 20 -g 1 -w 256  --auto-fan --temp-target 71 --no-subnmit-stale

U must have 4 gig ram to use the high end concurrency setings

Also u must run

Grab a dos\cmd box and add

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

then close the dos box and then run cgminer v3.0 +

[hulk]

I just realise that u bought gigabyte R9 280x. Gigabyte is famous for voltage locked.

Okay, but does not have anything to do with the hash rate does it? Thats for saving power/lowering temp?

[Badman0316]

any test in scrypt mining?

[Samir_H]

I saw 7950 for 185€ on some online shop. That's great price so open your eyes if you are interested.

Ya, voltage is only for saving power/lowering temp, it won't effect your hash rate at all unless its too hot (90 C and above). You might have to try different settings.
