“Welcome to Hong Kong, a vibrant neon city teeming with life, whose exotic locations and busy streets hide one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in the world: the Triads. In this open world game, you play the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop trying to take down the Triads from the inside out. You’ll have to prove yourself worthy as you fight your way up the organization, taking part in brutal criminal activities without blowing your cover. Torn between your loyalty to the badge and a criminal code of honor, you will risk everything as the lines between truth, loyalty and justice become permanently blurred.” From Sleepingdogs.net
How’s this for coincidence, I was building a machine for a customer earlier this week who requested a R9 290X/R9 290 GFX. I advised him prices were all over the place but I’d try get him the best deal I could. After making a few calls I managed to procure the exact same model you tested here. After slapping my markup on it, the card cost him roughly GBP 350 (according to my crude exchange rate calculations). A fair deal in my book.
Makes me a bit sad that you got it for over £100 less even with an extra mark-up. <3 UK pricing!
It’s the luck of the draw. Powercolor, Asus & Sapphire cost as much as 1.5X more at the moment. Gigabyte’s price will stay constant while stocks last but who knows how long that’ll be.
Can you please tell your settings for mining with cgminer? i can only get 840khash out of the card.
anything higher than 925 core clock decreases hashing power. thanks.
-I 20 -g 1 -w 256 –thread-concurrency 35960, results will vary by system but I find higher thread concurrency gives better results.
