[Ethereum] 32 mh/s but miner keeps skipping jobs

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I've done any GPU mining, but the rise in prices of certain coins really got me back into mining. Last time I mined anything was Doge coin (in 2014), so it's been a while haha.

This is my graphics card info

Sapphire R9 290X 4GB - Hynix RAM.
GPU Clock - 1040 MHz
Memory Clock - 1300 MHz

With stock settings, I get about 29.5 Mh/s, but if I bump the GPU clock on 1100, I get 32-33 Mh/s

Either way, it seems that both settings yield poor results. I'm using Claymore's Dual Ethereum miner to mine Ethereum only (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0).

On my miner, I keep seeing "New job from xxx" but I barely see any "Share Found".

Here's a screenshot:



Here's my config:
Code:
-epool us2.ethermine.org:4444
-ewal [my wallet]
-epsw x
-etha 0
-ethi 8
-asm 0

When mining doge coin, each "job" would always be "found", but with Ethereum, I get around 4 shares found for every 10 mins.
Is this right? What do you guys think?
