Help with PowerColor 290's

[mikeybit]

I'm driving myself nuts trying to get these cards to work but anything over I 13 gives me HW Errors.

These are the cards:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131544

Win 7 64 bit - fresh install
13.12 Driver
CGMiner 3.7.2

--scrypt --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 -I 13 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 12800 --gpu-engine 1105 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 50-100 --auto-fan --load-balance .....

These settings have given me the best results (500-520 kh/s) with no HW Errors.  If I increase the intensity past 13, I get constant HW errors. 

Please help!!!!

Those are great cards you should be getting 850 min from each one. Here are the settings I use:

I 20
g 1
w 512
thread-concurrency 32765
gpu-engine 1000
gpu-mem 1250
gpu-powertune 30
gpu-fan 100

You are getting hardware errors because your thread concurrency is too low.

Try this and let me know if it helped. If not I can help you more.

If I helped please send some LTC my way

Those settings give me an error:

Error -4: Enqueueing kernel onto command queue.

You need to open a command window and type setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 then press enter. Then try mining again and let me know if that worked.

reduce thread concurency to 24500.

Thanks for all of the help guys.  I got it working last night with TC 22000 (I need to still tweak it a bit to get a few more hashes).

I'm getting 815 kh/s out of each one.

Here's my launch command:
-I 20 -g 1 -w 512 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 25600 --gpu-engine 1080 --gpu-memclock 1490 --gpu-powertune 10 --gpu-fan 40-100 --auto-fan .......


Getting 815-820 kh/s each out of these settings.

Make sure that you delete all of the .bin files before you run that.
