well it is working now. but after ~1 minute, display drive has been restored and stopped mining. man I'm sitting here sinc 48 hours and don't know what to do. tried windows 8, now I have windows 7 x64. have tried all catalyst from 13.10-13.12. and everytime the same.
thanks to your setting it is working now, but how I said, screen gets black for 1 sec and windows says it has restored the displaydriver.
btw did run furmark for about ~5 hours without problems.

These are the settings in my .bat that I'm using with one of these babys:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
-I 20 -g 1 -v 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-engine 1040 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 85 --temp-cutoff 75 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune 0
You may achieve better results by turning on powertune. I'll get a stable 973Kh/s @ --gpu-powertune 30. But its not worth it compared to the effort. Oh, and I'll have 8GB total under WIN 8.1 (yes, crappy OS, I know). The card runs @ 66°C 24/7. I'll have to mention that it's a card with Hynix memory.

Awesome hashrate! I tried your settings but after a few seconds an error pops up saying that AMD display driver stopped responding and then the hashrate drops abruptly. Are you using default voltage ? What's your cgminer version ? |

Miner version is 3.7.2 and I didn't changed the voltage. Only thing I do/did is a) turn the jumper on the card to "uber-mode" and b) set screen resolution to 1024x768 and c) use a mono-color background for the desktop (I prefer blue). Maybe the last two settings aren't doing anything but I don't have any issues with drivers so far. I used a tool to erase any old driver software and then I installed 13.2.

Nice stats... what's the power consumption? |

Well, I don't have to care about the consumption  But I will see next week on how much is needed. @Tenchi Its the position towards the power connectors. |

And you hash rate is? Besides, "uber-mode" will only provide that the card is getting more power and is not shutting down early if it reaches 90°C. Since the Sapphire TRI-X is running very cool you may never need it anyways.

my hashrate is 877khash/sec with clocks @ 1000/1350 fanspeed 60% temp is 63°. and the whole system takes about 310 watt.
btw. how did you found out about that switch lol looked in the instruction manual and they don't mention it there. I really did not see that tiny little switch when I first looked at the card lol

As the world most famous (and only) Crypto General I used google. But I have to admit that it takes some time until you get that information. For some reason Sapphire missed out to publish an introduction/manual for that jumper.

hehe yeah. but I'm so happy right now that it is working   that's the switch possition which is working for me. but can't get your clocks driver crashes after I start cgminer. but I'm happy with my results for now. worked 48 hours and then there is that little jumper  edit: strange, after 50minutes cgminer stopped working.... will try new setting tomorrow |

not yet, will be out buying another 8GB ram (need it anyway) and test with more than 8GB ram.
does anybody know how I can see which bios on my card is enabled?

GPU-Z or HWiNFO. |

You should check if your card has Hynx memory. More overclock, such speed, wow.

Have you tried a couple of USB memory sticks with readyboost to see if that helps before buying some DDR3 RAM? |

hm have now 4GB installed and I'm trying too tweak around with readyboost. so far I've tried a 8GB usb stick, but TC over 30k doesn't work, will now try a 16GB usb stick. oh and by the way
what bios are you guys using?
015.042.000.000.000000 (113-E285FOC-U003)
or
015.042.000.000.000000 (113-E285FOC-X003)
if all that tweaking doesn't help I will try with 16GB ram
cheers
edit: readyboost doesn't do anything, will now come with full power and add 16GB ram... let's see what it will do after that lol
btw: what motherboard do you guys use?
ah and all tri-x have hynix memory as far as I know (mine has hynix memory too)
