some advice guys about the following tip i got for my AMD R280X thats currently running at 4.3 MH/s for X11
(using SGminer v5 with -k darkcoin-mod) -->

press g on sgminer, then press x. after that type 500 and press enter. tell me if that boosts your hashrate.
I think you need more than 4-8gb of ram for it to run without hardware errors though. DDR3 ram to be exact.
I also have the new pci express i think its either 2.0 or 3.0 i have to check.

what does that x 500 (--xintensity 500) precisely do ? i dont feel like blowing up my graphic card just to find out...

btw.. this is my current batch file (i dont use conf. files) :
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
c:\sgminerdarkcoin\sgminer.exe -k darkcoin-mod -o stratum+tcp://stratum-eu.suchpool.pw:3335 --failover-switch-delay 60 --no-submit-stale --gpu-dyninterval 7 --gpu-platform 0 --api-mcast-port 4028 --api-port 4028 --expiry 1 --log 5 --no-pool-disable --tcp-keepalive 30 --temp-hysteresis 3 --shares 0 --vectors 1 -u YrUsername.1 -p Yrpassword --expiry 1 --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --gpu-engine 1150 --gpu-memclock 1500 -g 2 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 -I 18 --thread-concurrency 8192 --shaders 2048
As I've gone full retard and moved into my warehouse where my farm is located, I've gone for the low power/low noise option for my rigs... They still do OK in terms of speed, if anyone is interested here's a whisper quiet config for the fans and it sucks less power:
290 @ 4.7 Mhs (Core Clock 520, MemClock 625) -I 17 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --temp-target 75 --auto-fan --no-submit-stale
280x @ 3.8 Mhs (Core Clock 535, MemClock 735) -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 15 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --temp-target 75 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 10-85 --no-submit-stale.
270x @ 2.9 Mhs (Core Clock 575, MemClock 750) -g 2 -w 64 --thread-concurrency 8192 --rawintensity 81920 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --no-submit-stale
rem setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
rem setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
rem setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Enjoy
