Im getting 277 h/s with my RX 470 8gb.

One of my 290s is doing 290 h/s but the other does 220 h/s. Will need to investigate that.

Thanks claymore.

WOW!  290 Sols/s on a 290?  Is this a ref model?  What clocks are you using?  I can't get more than 260 out of mine.
260 sol/s?
You should try flash your cards with Stilt BIOS.
I get 310 sol/s with ref R9 290 Stilt BIOS, 1100 core, 1450 memory.

I have 4 R9 290 Ref Models... This would be great!  Could you point me in the direction of the STILT BIOS you used?
You can find his BIOSes there. I used V44 version, but I had to rise voltage in Afterburner for stable work, so try V38 for safe. Use latest ATIWinFlash (2.7.4 in my case), it works just fine.

Same, I'll give it a whirl on my 290 REF. Whats the wattage per card with bios mod?
I don't have any wattmeter so can't say exact numbers. GPU-Z says "VDDC In" 130W most of the time with rare peaks up to 190W. I think real consumption somewhere around 200W from the plug.

@gerando. The link you sent is for the Stilt BIOS, which I need, but the onedrive link is broken.  I was able to find other bios by Insanity, but I have something really strange going on.  I flash all 4 cards I bought from Newegg (R9 290 ref). 3 come back as R9 290s and 1 comes back as an R9 290x! Can't figure out why.  Also, once I flash them, Afterburner has the mem and core blanked out and I can't change any settings.  When I start Claymore, all has at 0.  Reinstalled drivers and everything.  Any help would be great.  Thanks!
