Re: HELP! struggling to make 6 gpu R9 290 rig to run on windows 7
Hi,
Did you get to the bottom of this?
I am having exact same problem, need Windows 8 maybe? Does it work?
I have no experience at all with Linux and there are no easy step by step guides to follow

If you are using 6 of any 200 series cards you have to use linux. The beta drivers you have to use for R9 cards don't support more than 4, even in windows 8. It is a driver limitation, not hardware, as 6 work perfectly fine in linux.
R9 cards won't mine on anything but the 13.11 beta drivers, it's not possible to use modified 79xx series drivers to get 6 working in windows (yet, give it time...)
Five card r9 290x rig running in windows 8.1 is good just had to switch pci latency over
That was posted a long time ago, and you still won't get 6 in wondows.
I can run 3x Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x , 1x Sapphire 280x Toxic, and 1x 7950 in Windows 8.1 just fine, but in Windows 7 I get Code 43 on the 7950 (if I put another 280x in there I still get the Code 43) no matter what I do. 13.11 beta, 13.12 both work in Windows 8.1, but in Windows 7 I can only get 4 cards going. Fucking sucks. AMD needs to work this shit out. And of course, in Win 8.1 my GPU mapping is so screwed up I don't even want to waste my time trying to fix it.
