Just a reminder: use 14.4 drivers. Gave me 35% more coins.  Shocked
14.6 is the latest.
AMD claims up to 25% speed-up in some games.

I'm getting 570k ppd on a rig that had 500k ppd.

That would be roughly the equivalent of a 350,000 PPD increase for me.  Definitely worth it.  Consequently, tonight I'll be setting that up.  Thanks for the information!  Have you had any stability issues?
No new issues with 14.6 for me.

My experience with 14.6 with multi-card computers using 290X TRIX cards has been horrible so I wanted to post it real fast.  I installed the 14.6 drivers on 6 machines before I starting rolling back to the 14.4.  I could not go more than 10 minutes without a Windows cash on Windows 7 x64.  The one machine where I have a single 290X TRIX card has not shown the same problems but literally every machine that I have these drivers installed and has two 290X TRIX cards has BSD'd at least once and some machines have BSD'd several multiple times in less than an hour.


I have double 290x toxics in two machines running 14.6 they are both stable at factory OC though I see no gain/loss difference in the 14.4 to the 14.6.. The question is did you do a clean install of the drivers?

I used AMD's express uninstall that is supposed to uninstall everything.  Did you use something else?  I've got 15 290X TRIX cards spread out across 8 computers and not a single one of them will fold at factory OC speeds.  I had to underclock them by a large amount to keep them stable.

Did you mean you have 280X Toxics?  I didn't think 290X Toxics were out yet.

Derp on my end I have the TriX like you, I have a few of the 280x toxics in boxes to my left waiting on the rest of my wifes new computer. All I did was the express uninstall, I do not have the CPU folding at all though maybe that could help you out.  Also on win7 64 bit 8gb ram I5s 2500k/2600k

I have been using the CPU's and I have been trying different thread settings based on what I've seen posted.  I ran for a few days letting the F@H client decide the threads so there was no "spare" thread available.  The stability didn't change overall and the output did go up a bit but I am wondering if that was the issue.

However, many of the machines hadn't even started folding again before they BSD'd so it is odd.  We have similar setups though, although I do have I7's and 16bg of RAM.

In any event, I've allotted a spare thread on each machine again but I also went back to the 14.4.  Not sure I have the ambition to try it again though.  lol

I may remove a CPU from one of the machines from folding and see what happens, but I ran them with 1 thread for some time and the I7's have 8 threads available so I can't imagine it would make much difference.
