Wondering if anyone here has an R9 290 (Hawaii) 4GB Videocard? Any idea if you can mine ETH with it or any other coin for that matter.
I got a few of these left and wondering whether to Craiglist it or mine something. I remember these pulled like 200 Watts hashing at 27MH/s so even with that huge power consumption right now it would still pull a nice profit. If its possible I can put it in the x16 pcie 3.0 slot and wondering if I can get that 27MH/s speed back.
If not is there anything else out there that this GPU is capable of mining anymore these days? Thanks
Direct to Mobo with Gen3x16 I have seen in Zombie mode +24Mhs... but you need to be in Linux
IMHO its not for long

With the zombie Mode in Mobo and Gen3x16 it could be until summer :-) you can always make a benchmark to test your configuration to know until which EPOCH it will be avaliable...
I meen 24 Mhs not for long. Each EPoch lower it for 2 Mhs. So , In a month it will be 15 , then 10 , etc....
