I'm getting steady 30MH/s on each Fury X on stock clocks (1050/500). Claymore's can only get about 28MH.
A 390 at 1040Mhz gets 29Mh, with some overclocking I can surely can 32-33MH, but my cards warm up too much. Definitely the best miner out there.

The only issue I can spot is the CPU usage, which makes this miner basically worthless on weak CPUs. I couldn't run it on a single-core AMD CPU and a friend of mine had his rig crashing with a dual core Celeron installed. most mining rigs have very weak CPUs, and if this miner gets updated to support them, I am sure it will get much more traction.

What is the configuration of your R9 Fury?

I included it in the post - 1050/500. stock clocks, didn't change anything.

What is your sgminer setting? For example, gpu threads, work size or the intensity values. do you have lots of hard ware error?


Code:
"gpu-powertune": "0",
"worksize": "192",
"name": "eth",
"algorithm": "ethash",
"gpu-threads": "1",
"xintensity": "1024"


Those are the settings, the intensity doesn't change much on both 512 and 256. 30Mh/s on stock clocks, no errors whatsoever.

Do you mean there is no hardware error?

I have R9 nano cards, with xintensity of 256 and work size of 64. there are tons of HW.



What is an hardware error? does the miner report it? because it runs okay here. there is a large number in the "HW:" section of the miner. what does it mean?

That is the hardware error. So even if the reported hash rate is high, with the large HW, your effective rate could be low.

The effective hashrate on the pool is what I'm expecting.
