Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
@evilsofa: You are comparing scrypt GPU mining to SHA-256 ASIC mining.... Two very different things! Take an Antminer (SHA-256 ASIC) for example, its doing its 180 Gh/s for approx 360w. Compared to a GTX 750Ti doing approx 300 kh/s @ 65-80w, or compared to my own 7950 doing 630 kh/s @ 200w
But...
Here is a link:

First post in the thread contains an excel document, that is an index of the BIOS', and the first post also contain a link to download a zip containg all/most of the Stilt bios' (for 79xx and R9 series)
And this DOES contain...
Hmm, so 265's are 7850s? Here i thought that a r9 270 was a rebranded 7850, like this:
R9 270 = 7850
R9 270x = 7870
R9 280 = 7950
R9 280x= 7970
...where = means slightly beefed up rebranding.
So am I wrong in thinking this?
@jbean7457: Nice! Could you inform us - if you have or will make watt-readings - what the total system power draw is (from the wall)? And if so, also what specific model you are using.
@OP: that's a nice hash rate for sure! Very nice :)
@Edge929: Can i ask you Edge, what are your settings for 955 khash @240w (incl. voltage), and exactly what 290 model is that? Im very impressed!!
This thread really makes me reconsider 290(x) for my next card over 280x's, and present i only...
@87dtna, what Khash per day-range are you getting (scrypt) with 280x?
(am considering buying cards either 280x, 7950 or R9 290, all Sapphire Dual-X or Tri-X as that what i can get here for a good price, and im looking now mostly at khash/watt)
@Patriot: Can you specify which G.Skill RAM you are using? Im looking for some good low latency RAM myself :) Do you find it makes for a better folding/crunching performance?
Btw are there any good reasons to go with one over the other - of the 3 motherboards you mention? I think i can find the H8QGL-IF+ board somewhat cheaper than the other two.
Any recommendations regarding best 4p G34 motherboard (that works with this OC BIOS of course!) ?
