Wow, thanks nimmneun!
I know this was a 290x thread, but I was assuming 290x > 290 and therefor thought his hashrates was a little low regarding my result. But it seems I’m the one that should do more tweeking, If I’m supposed to be around 800!
I really knew that my card was supposed to be around 800 but I’ve tried a bunch of settings but can’t get above 760. Guess I have to get back to tinkering then… good luck with the 290x, sorry for intruding :D
I’m unsure if this goes in the newb section or mining section so I’m so sorry if I’m the wrong place.
The case is that I’ve been tinkering with cgminer the last couple of days, and there is some params that I don’t understand-ish.
-I
As I understand it I is for intensity, where higher is better unless you strangle your GPU. I have a 290 card from Sapphire, and tried a bunch of different intensity, ended up with 19… but there is a lot of people recommending 13.
-w
I don’t know what this is. It refers to the chunks of memory it should work with? Mine is at 256, but 512 is also usable?
-g
I don’t know what this one is either, would really love it if someone could care to explain. Mine is set to 2, but it is totally random. I’ve seen it been set to both 1 and 2, whats the difference?
In advance thank you for your reply!.
Hello kojima18!
I found your post most useful, but maybe you should revise your settings - im running a single *regular* 290 card from sapphire (21227-00-40G) and I’m currently at ~760Kh/s (740-770)!
Thats above your 2x712Kh/s. I purpose the following tweeks that worked for me:
Catalyst OverDrive settings:
Power limit settings: 20%
GPU click settings: -7%
Memclock: 15%
The temperature is 77 degrees, somewhat higher then yours so it was the first pinpointer that you have more to go on. Fan speed is currently at 86% which may be a little high and quite loud.
Just wanted to say hello to everybody, im fUrious… but not as the state of my temper, but the state of my graphics card :-). Just started mining, really digging into cgminer settings to get the most out of it :-)
