Yes it work as a failover.
I am getting 293h/s with my 290x on windows 8.1 and cartalyst 14.6 beta.
I thought it should be more...
please read OP, and what the miner says at start : you need the 13.12 drivers to get the best performances.
On 13.12, i get 380H/s on a R9 280X. Only 280 with the same model of card and 14.6.
FAILOVER
Use "pools.txt" to specify several pools. This file has text format, one address per line. If the first character of a line is ";" this line will be ignored.
Thank Claymore, please help me how can i put this file "pools.txt" for failover-pool.
I can not set backup-pool as cgminer.
pls help
You can add several pool in the command line (-o pool:port -u wallet -p x -o pool2:port -u wallet -p x )
OR
you can enter several pool in your pool.txt file (as the one wich come with the miner)
on each line, you put a pool address, and you specify one in your commande line + wallet + password
Interesting. Will it work as a failover like in cgminer ?
Yes, it work for failover
