Mining with R9 280x question
 

Just got my card in today and got it all hooked up.

From reading, I should be getting 700kh/s+ but I can only pull 320ish right now.

Here's the settings I'm using for cgminer.
Any ideas on how to get this thing running better?

Whats the basic aspect of mining??

Often, your cgminer configuration file is responsible for 90% of your hash rate problems. Are you using someone else's config file? If not, search for one -- they'll have already done the hard work for you.

try running the powertune option that was my problem on my rigs

What setting?

20, in most cases.

Can you still make money with a miner if you are just getting in to it now? I read conflicting information mostly regarding the escalating complexity of the equations?

Bitcoin? Not worth it. Other coins? About $50/day per mining rig, if you build a good one. It fluctuates, though. Some days $35, other days $140. Never seen below $35 in a day though for one rig.

That's funny GFY has turned into a Bitcoin mining and resources center lol!

One of the few things morons can do easily and be successful at. :thumbsup

we should create a gfy chat channel at stackoverflow

that thread concurrency looks very low for this card

edit*

this config is not for this card. Do a google search for "r9 280x cgminer config" and youll get a better config specifically for this card
