I'm just wondering... for you folks getting low hashes for 280X, what is reported in GPU-Z for your engine and memclock?

300 Core - Occasional spikes to 500.
150 Memory - Occasional spikes to 1500.

All in all, really quite under-utilized.

This happens with multiple rigs, on Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. Single card & multi-card systems. I'm always getting ~340-370 per 280x.

Contents of .bat file:
Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 85
:BEGIN
start "CryptoNote" /low /wait "c:\Miners\Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner v3.1 Beta - POOL\NsGpuCNMiner.exe" -o POOL -p x -u ADDRESS -wd 1 -ee 1 -dbg -1
timeout /t 10
GOTO BEGIN
exit


I've also tried various settings of GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT, with a reboot in between each value change.


500/1500 core/mem while you are mining?  That's awful.  Core should be 950-1200 constantly depending on what video card you have a good average is typically 1000-1050 core clock.  You should also use the "-di" command.  usage for me is -di 23  in order to use the second and third card.  starts from 0 and counts up so if you want to use your first two cards it would be -di 01   since you have multiple cards.. I don't know if that means that some aren't 280x.

edit: i've never seen a difference in changing the MAX_ALLOC... i just leave it at 100... idk why... for good luck I guess
