low GPU load 0-10% at 800kH/s

[fruor]

I'm very confused why my hashrate seems OKish at ~800kh/s with my Radeon R9 290 but under GPU-Z my GPU Load shown in GPU-Z is constantly low at 0-10%

I am running on Win 7 64bit Ultimate with cgminer 3.7.2
Here is my setup:

cgminer --scrypt --auto-fan -o http://p2pool.org:9327 -u yaddayadda -p bla -v 1 -I 20 -g 1 -T --gpu-engine 920 --gpu-memclock 1430 --gpu-fan 63-85 --gpu-vddc 1.100 --temp-target 85 --temp-overheat 92 --temp-cutoff 97 --thread-concurrency 27472 --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9000 -u bla -p foo

I deleted the .bin files and tried to add -w 256 and --lookup-gap 2 but still no improvement. The card is getting higher temperatures and consumes over 300W power, but the GPU Load doesn't seem to go up

Hi fruor,

I have a feeling this would be better suited posted in the Mining section.

Try dropping -I to 12 to 16 and see if that gains ya anything im only
on a 5770 and get much better at lower intensity

normal as when the pool detects new block and finish the work on previous block load reduced.Also if it is mining than no problem.

proplem solved, it seems GPU-Z does not show the right amount of GPU load for this work (I guess it's still made for 3D-gamers).

in cgminer and Overdrive the GPU Load is shown as 100%
