does anyone have good config settings for r9 290?

been looking all over but can't seem to find any settings for it.

there is a list on darkcointalk.org

Juste burn one R9 290. Never find good setting for this one.
i have better mh/s with R9  280X than 290X and 290.

push coreclock to 1140-1170 and memclock 1250

I cant go over 980 for coreclock

Do they actaully run stable with an OC on the core and stock clock on the memory? Any time I've tried I usually try to OC both to some extent and it always bluescreens or crashes the driver. Even with core at stock and only a memory OC. I was going to try OC'ing just the core next and hold the mem in the 1250-1260 range next but I've been busy for the last couple weeks so I've just been running stock everything.

I meant 1040 CC 1250 MC 24550 TC I 20 r9 290 sapp hawaii pro

Yeah, all mine are ASUS . . mix of reference and the Direct CU2. I like the non-reference asus . . they run about 10-12C cooler than the reference asus. Probably not as cool as the sapp though.

But either way I've just been running them all at 947 core 1250 mem . . dont really see much effect on TC with this coin so not gonna list mine . . . and xI 555 based on the dev's own usage of that difficulty.

What kind of hashes are you seeing? Mine start aroun 2.3-2.4M and drop to 2.0-2.1 after time.

I'd love to see better stable speeds, but don't really want to spend another night messing with settings right now . . and won't want to for at least a week or two.

As i tel before one of my 290 OC memory burn on card with -I 20  coreclock 980 and memclock 1250. Temp at 66°C.

I have one more 290 OC just out of the box. I dont want burn it before i know how to setting them.

Yeah I hear ya. I almost burned a card before . . but it was because i used powered risers from multiple power supplies and hooked them up wrong . . while at the same time overclocking meadium to heavily with scrypt mining. Luckily I only destroyed a couple DVI ports on the card (melted traces), the fan can't be sensed in speedfan now . . not sure what that's about, and the risers themselves are clearly burned plus the mobo had a few pcie ports that don't work anymore due to 850w being directly pushed through the pcie ports. But overall the card itself is happy and has been running for weeks now. I'm guessing it survived because it's meant to handle around ~300w of power . . so in comparison to the motherboard that usually runs around 70w it at least had a chance.

Since then I've just played it safe and run them at the stock 947/1250 AMD clocks and an xintensity of 555. The only thing I changed was the intensity when I switched to sgminer. I'd like to push it further, but I think I've already used up any extra lives the card already had and I don't really want to find out with the new cards.

Edit: on a different note . . I just found the same testnet block on two different computers. Any takers on which one gets orphaned?

I give a try with your setting. Looks good ATM.

Do you already try update bios ?
I read alot, but not try yet.
Its look like for 290 and 290X oc to have over volt...

Do you mean unlock the 290 to a 290x? No. I looked into it, but none of my cards are unlockable based on the hawaiiinfo file I came across on Techpowerup (think this is where it was).

Because of that, I haven't played with the voltages with these cards. From what I've read, most people are trying to undervolt them in order to pull the best hash/watt ratio because it's less than the 280x . . while some are looking to do heavy overclocking.

With the stock core and mem clocks, you won't need to mess with the voltage for stability . . although it would be nice to pull it down a bit for power savings. But with this coin, I'm not all that worried about power right now.

Unless you mean there's a different bios?

I undervolt 280X for lite, come back to stock bios for DRK. Im near 2300 kh/s sable for 1 week.

Look at this for 290 and 290X :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=442852.0

let me know what you think about this.

2300 for a 280x? That's awesome. I wish I could get at least that with a 290.

Does your 280x go to 2500 or 2600 at startup and then move down to 2300 after a couple minutes? My 290s all start at about 2500 then move down to 2000 to 2100. Someone's probably asked this but the thread's getting big now.

Looking at that thread I'm trying to figure out why people are trying to keep the 290 cards so cold . . these things don't mind being as close to 95C as possible at all. I saw one person in there mentioning broken fans on a card that's released only a few months ago . . just seems like the fans are being over-used is all. But I guess I can understand with the heavy overclocks I see in most of the posts, and the general consensus that it will lead to longer component life even though that seems counterproductive to me b/c the dead fans.

Running at stock clocks the engine throttles automatically anyways so it never gets too hot anyways unless you force it. One of the big reasons I like the stock clocks. It's been a few months since I've OC'd these cards so I can't remember if the engine throttles automatically with an OC or not.

Anyways, the best I got to so far was around 1100 engine and 1500 memory, with an intensity between 21-22 . . tc was a wierd number I can't remember but spend hours tuning in (then lost after a rogue PSU decided to fry my pcie slots and hard drive . . wrote it down somewhere though so I'll find it when I go back to tuning.) and the hashes were pushing 980 before sick/crash so I'm pretty sure the ASUS bios already in these cards is not holding them back much . . but it still looks like it would definitely be worth a shot to try something else.

Maybe I can get the same kind of hashes on a lower clock and it'll be stable? Do the modified/Stilts bioses give voltage control to non-x cards?

The best stable pairs I found were 947/1250, 975/1250, 1000/1500, 1050/1450, 1075/1470 in increasing number of hashes and decreasing amount of confidence I had in the stability of the card. After putting the intensity higher . . I found 32765 TC to be not the best value anymore so I pushed it up the some number I forgot.

I'm definitely thinking that with the decreased temps with this algorithm, the 290's can be pushed pretty far. Thanks for the link to the thread, I think I'm going to try a different bios this weekend or next and compare to what I'm getting now.

Srry to say that, but I'm SO HAPPY to see your problem.
I got the exact same problem, asking all over the internet in various language and seems to be the only one until now.
I have 3 290 that do exactly the same: start at 2500 then get back to 2100 (all in the exact same second) after 10 minutes. I'm under Bamt, and it only do that with the 290 AND darkcoin. No problem in Scrypt, no problem in Darkcoin with my other kind of cards.
If you (or others) found a workaround, do not hesitate to share. I'll be glad to offer a few Darkcoins to someone able to fix this.

Updated to DGW wallet - Sad to see no denominate and darksend since it's not the new BETA with DGW.

I must have missed something in the logic -
Does everyone need to upgrade the wallet due to the implementation of DGW into the protocol???

Yes, it's a hard fork.

Can someone please write instructions for a 5y/o so that i don't mess the coins I have in the old wallet...
i.e. download forked  wallet from this link -
copy wallet.dat elsewhere or install on top of existing wallet...
etc...

thnx

It'll be okay!

I'm going to assume you don't know how to get to your appdata folder, and that you're on windows so here we go:

The folder you need to be looking at first is: C:\Users\YOURPCNAME\AppData\Roaming\DarkCoin

Replace YOURPCNAME with your local user name in windows . . whatever you sign on with.

When you're in there, for good measure, delete everything you see except wallet.dat. You'll want to leave this file in that folder.

After that, delete any of your qt program files that you downloaded before. Again, don't delete wallet.dat. You can move it around all you want, but as long as you don't delete it and it ends up back in your appdata folder you'll be fine.

Then dl the new qt and run it, then you'll be set to go. You should be downloading the block chain automatically, and usually when the chain catches up your coins will show up in your wallet. Sometimes it's immediately on opening and sometimes it's not.

Are those 290's hitting 95c?

No, not on this algo mine are not. On scrypt I'd let them hit 94-95 (I don't have this problem with scrypt), but this one I locked the fan @ 60% and they're usually at 60-70c. The clocks are not dropped at all, and I'm looking at them through sgminer, asus gpu tweak, msi ab, gpu z . . . all say they're on the stock clock 947 that I set in the config for the miner.
