      me again…such a newbie…sorry…
      if I try with conf suggested above for example I get this error:
      [img]http://imageshack.com/a/img854/524/z22h.png[/img]

      where do you insert this: in the .conf file right?
      setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
      setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

      …ah found it… the .bat file… Iread about it somewhere but then forgot altogether…argh…

        You can put it at the start of a .bat file like this:

        setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
        setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
        sgminer.exe -o (your mining pool) -u (your user id) -p x -g 2 -w 256,256,256,512 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192,8192,8192,10240 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 1055,1055,1055,1025 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 30-100 --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95

        Or run it once from a dos prompt…

          if I use the .bat file that has all the info don’t need the .conf file anymore? I just run the .bat
          ok got it.

          does this seem ok? I kept concurrency work and memlock and engine low…
          setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
          setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
          cgminer.exe -o stratum.wemineftc.com:4444 --scrypt -u xxxx1 -p xxx -I 15 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-memclock 1050 --gpu-engine 855 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 30-100 --temp-target 75 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95

          but with this result: see loads of errors again ?!?!?

            That does seem a little low…

            you might want to bump it up.

            Most people have memclock at 1500, some at 1250…

                Assuming you are on windows, I ran these once in start > run:

                [table]
                [tr]
                [td]setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
                setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1[/td]
                [/tr]
                [/table]

                I’m a Linux guy, but used win for our miners as one is at a mates place - easier for him to learn. I think they are environment variables of some kind, so once they are set, they are set. In short I think you can leave them out of the batch file for your settings.

                Also you should ditch any kind of tuning (by config or otherwise) until you can mine at all without errors! Start with a lower intensity and a basic config, such as:

                cgminer.exe -o stratum.wemineftc.com:4444 --scrypt -u krasticrypto.1 -p xxx -I 15

                  R9 290 Asus.
                  Windows 7
                  That’s why I put the lowest config I could think of…just to start mining really! I wasted days already…
                  so the miner is running with that .bat file but HW is super high right?! :-\
                  Is it just a matter of tweaking? no major mistake that you can spot from the .bat?

                      yes I did run them 1 line after the other in CMD and removed them from the .bat file.
                      also removed the .bin file.

                          latest Catalyst I believe is 13.11
                          and also AMD-APP-SDK-v.2.9

                            Well you shouldn’t be getting those hardware errors with those tame settings, you should just be getting a low hash rate.

                            Have you uninstalled and reinstalled your drivers?

                              aaaaaaaaaaah 0 errors now!
                              with intensity 11 and concurrency 16384
                              ok I’m getting somewhere!
                              at least there isn’t anything totally wrong with the set-up. that’s all I want. would you mind double check it looks fine? I’ll work on getting higher KH/s slowly tweaking…

                                You normally set your thread concurrency, then memclock, then engine…

                                Clear all the bin files out of your CGMiner directory and run it without a thread concurrency setting, it will then give you a good starting TC in the first bin file it creates…

                                  ok I’m getting 774KH/s now with these and no error

                                  setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
                                  setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
                                  cgminer.exe -o stratum.wemineftc.com:4444 --scrypt -u krasticrypto.1 -p xxx -I 20 -g 1 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 24576 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-engine 855 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 70 --temp-target 75 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95

                                  not sure what fixed it but I guess running in command those 2 lines? and fine tweaking? mmm…
                                  I’ll post the config somewhere if I obtain better results.

                                  THANK YOU SUO MUCH EVERYONE!!!

                                    Nice work dude.

                                    Now edit the password from your post above and change it at the mining pool. lol 8)

                                      Grab the model number of your card, then take a look here https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

                                      You’ll get your next set of gains from tweaking Thread Concurrency, GPU Memclock and GPU Engine.

                                      If you hit G then C you can play with memclock and engine on the fly within CG Miner.

                                      You want to find the optimal ratio between memclock and engine, normally around the .57-.6 mark.

                                      Enjoy, this is the fun part ;p

                                        changed the passwords…thanks for the tip…ufff…
                                        and yes now that is a matter of tweaking I’ll enjoy it…now that I lost half of my hair over HW errors and crashes…
                                        gosh what a newbie…ahah
                                        thanks so much!

                                          ok in Catalyst software I found these info.

                                          [img]http://imageshack.com/a/img716/1622/kfqv.png[/img]

                                          which one is the model number of the card? so I can compare and add on “litecoin hardware compare” page?
                                          I inserted the card default Core Clock as Engine Clock of 947 MHz, and found the best performance (so far) :818 KH/s average (it touches 850 at times), temperature of 79 C with fan at 70%.
                                          this is the .bat

                                          setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
                                          setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
                                          cgminer.exe -o xxxx --scrypt -u xxx -p xxx -I 20 -g 1 -w 512 --thread-concurrency 24576 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 947 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 30-70 --temp-target 75 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-cutoff 95-

                                          by the way:with any higher concurrency the GPU fails in cgminer…

                                            R9290-4GD5

                                            Asus only make one 290 so it’s an easy one…

                                            They only have the sapphire and Gigabyte versions on their, so you’ll just have to see what other people are doing and have a crack at those yourself… Look at all the variations on there, but I’m fairly sure you’ll get best results with TC 32765, memclock 1500 and engine 1000.

                                            I’ve got 270x, 280x, 290 & 290x cards on my rigs and they all perform best with memclock 1500.

                                            So chuck that TC in, set your memclock to 1500, set your engine to 1000 and then adjust engine up or down by 10 and see what happens.

                                            I’m fairly sure you should be getting max speed with those settings… If she’s getting a little hot take powertune down to 10 or 15 and she should be happy with no real loss in performance…
