Hi guys,

As the subject says I have bought 6 R9 290's and a mobo with enough PCI-E slots for them.

I hear that drivers 13.x + are needed for the R9 290/x but these dont allow more than 4 cards. Someone here: http://www.gobitgo.com/articles/1002...ne-with-6-GPU/ claims to have done it by installing seperate drivers on the 5th card (but not on R9 290/x)

The 5th card is showing up in windows but wont run in cgMiner (in windows it says it has no driver)

Anyone tried this? I have 4 cards running and todays prices thats about £15 per card so I am reluctant to power it off and start messing trying to get the 5th working.

I know its possible to get 5+ cards mining on 1 mobo but I find no reference to getting this working on the R9 series, can anyone shed any light on this?

I have yet to see anyone running 5 or more R9 series cards on 1 mobo

Regards,
Danny

Now you've seen it. Bottom row is 2 5x 290 rigs on Win7.
There were some modded ini files for the driver, IIRC I found them on litecointalk.
