Can anybody mining with 290 (non-x) Tri-x share their 4ch rate ?
I get only 17xxxx which is similar to reference 290 card !
Tri-x should produce more, I have read someone is getting over 2xxxxx

I run with stock rate (no OC) i.e. Core 1000 & Memory 1300

Can someone mention better core/memory combination to reach above 200k 4ch ?

core 1025 or 1000, mem 1500
on a 7950 i get 119,353 currently with 1100/1500
make sure you're setting the miner at 4 cores and higher cpu usage

Thanks for the reply, but 7950 is different from 290 Tri-x
I don't think we need to increase memory for it, rather I get better result by decreasing it upto 1000 for scrypt or heavycoin mining.
Yes, core could be increased for sure. I was getting optimum result for heavycoin mining with 1100 core & 1000 memory but
when I use the same setting for this miner, it crashes after 15-30 min.

I am using
-Motherboard : Intel DZ87KLT-75K
-Processor : Intel Core i5 4660
-PSU : Cooler Master Silent Pro 1200 Gold
-RAM : Corsair Vengeance 8GB (Single Stick)
-3x GPU : Sapphire 290 Tri-x OC edition (2 directly attached to MB & 1 on USB powered riser)

Please post your 4ch result & core/memory setting to obtain that.
As I said earlier I get only 177k with stock rate (1000/1300) & not at all satisfied with it.

BTW with the above 3 cards my Processor is using 30-35% of the resources.

I think it crashes because you have two cards on board and when you overclock them,  they overheat or something.

I know that you stated in the read me that older cards are not supported, but it would be a niche if you can update the miner to be able to use HD6xxx/HD5xxx series cards. Other miners lack that and it would be an interesting challenge too, plus an advantage.

It would be a waste of time. These card dont break even anymore. Better work on cards that really earn something.

Some of those cards are more powerful than some of the mid to low-end GCN cards, especially the 5850,5870,6950,6970,5970 and 6990.
