I've been told that Linux BAMT works better than windows with the R9 290 graphics card.
Maybe that is something to give it a try.


Got this up and running in 5 minutes - all 5 cards working, no issues. .. it is BY FAR easier and better equiped for 290 cards. I had downloaded it two days ago, but was reluctant for having to learn one more Linux system.. .but there was nothing to learn. edit the config, start it... it even finds and installs your cards for you.



Yes i did try it, i first tried Linux BAMT 1.3 but for some reason that wouldnt boot the machine.
So i went off and used a different version the LTC Rabbit Edition, with that on the Flash drive it boots.
But i dont know the best settings for my cards at the moment normally they would be fine with a TC of 24550 but after a while screen goes to black and i need to reset it.

Does anyone has some guidinglines for the settings with the R9 290, so it does not crash.
