Can anyone tell me if 1.8 mh/s is good for a Sapphire 290x card? Have earned 1 coin in last hour, doesn't seem very profitable to mine with such low earnings.
Use the updated sgminer located somewhere in this thread. It will boost your hash rate. I am on a 280x and getting ~2.6MH/s.
make sure you use -k x13mod
Thanks to you both for you responses!
Am using the software posted on pg 35 (I believe it was) of this thread.
My bat file was..........
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer -k marucoin -o stratum+tcp://boost.monsterhash.me:3333 -u user -p my password -I 20 -g 1 -w 128
I just changed to..........
sgminer -k x13mod -o stratum+tcp://boost.monsterhash.me:3333 -u user -p my password -I 20 -g 1 -w 128
From that change, I went up to 3 mh/s......thank you bitwho!
Is there any additional room for improvement with my settings? I love that my card runs 10 degrees cooler with this over scrypt, course I was overclocking with scrypt so maybe the same and am just not hashing at max yet.
Still seems like I will not make much coin with this but we sill see.......I have 2 other 290x cards I can throw at this if it looks like it will be profitable.
