So r9 290 isn't even on whattomine.com, and any ethereum guide I try to check has the miner link 404.
This is getting a bit ridiculous.
EDIT: I tried mining on minergate, seems extremely simplified but it works. I only get 12mh/s with eth mining though, on an r9 290 which makes no sense. I tried 2-4 intensity and the mh/s stays the same. I'm guessing the automated settings are really bad?
