The R7 290 is a DDR3 card, so I doubt it would be very efficient at mining Ethash, which is a memory intensive algorithm. There is a R7 290X card that has DDR5 memory and supposedly gets ~15 MH/s. ZEC would probably be a better option for that card.

IMO, you would be better off going with a RX 560 or 1050 Ti cards, that get ~14 MH/s on ETH and are much more power efficient.

R7 290? Where you found such a card? And why respond about it when original poster asked for r7 240?

The R9 290 is a much better card, so R7 240 probably a couple MH/s on ETH at best.

Yes, but you were talking about some mysterious r7 290 with DDR3?

I meant R7 240 4GB with DDR3.
