Yeah yeah thanks aznboy84!
I should've told you that ystarnaud was off for the weekend, and that latest sgminer 5_0 and sgminer 5_0_X15 are both kinda fucked up as they create HW errors out the ass whenever switching algos or not.
I'm using the 6_29 and just barely experiencing 3 HW/hr on 1 out of 8 total 290X
EDIT: ystar should be able to fix it up in a day or so whenever he gets back, in the meantime you da man thanks for providing a backdated link for those who might only see the newest mega link.
