Re: WTF is going on with my GPUs (R9 290X and 6950) ?

Are your machines plugged directly into an outlet or are they plugged into a power strip or something like that?

I had this exact same problem with my 6950. I had my computer plugged into a power strip with a bunch of other things; like monitors, game consoles, tv, speakers, etc. Plugged into the strip, I was getting the exact same results as you. But when I plugged the computer into an outlet all on its own I managed to get it to 420 kh/s with an intensity of 18 and thread concurrency of 6010.

I'm back on DOGE... Far more profitable. I think the pool I was using for CAT wasn't good. Was using http://cat.coinium.org/ and made apparently, only an equivalent of 5k DOGE in 12h. I used to make around 10k DOGE every 8 hours or so.. 500Kh/s hash rate.
i've been at cat.coinium.org for days and it is been working fine, i also have 4x the rash rate and it's a big pool so your shares are small with 500 khs
So what could be the problem then? Because I'm getting far less on CAT than I am with DOGE... Less than half as much it seems.

The problem is that you convert it to USD or BTC. But CAT is undervalued and is expeceted to raise in price. Then you'd make the same like with DOGE or even more. It's speculation Tongue
Or less? Lol.

How much CAT should I get in one day with ~500Kh/s? Is there a calculator? I know of Dustcoin.

SHA 256 mining needs a big investment. The best Scrypt mining devices are the latest AMD cards, like R9 280x, or R9 290
Asrock build a motherboard, that can handle up to 6 cards at the same time.

The ultimate Scrypt mining rig would be that motherboard, and 6x R9 290 card.


In regards to the motherboard with 6 pci-e slots, can a pci-e x16 card be used (with an adapter) in a pci-e x1 slot without any performance loss? Or if there is performance loss, will it be a significant loss? Same goes for using pci-e x16 card with pci-e x8 and x4, is there any loss there?
