AMD Radeon R9 290X speed and noise.

[rickm]

Hi,

I acquired a AMD R9 290X, I have od6config and last version of oclHashcat (1.21). It works nice, however my benchmark looks like a bit slow to what I see on main hashcat website. Here is what I got:

Device #1: Hawaii, 3072MB, 1000Mhz, 44MCU

Hashtype: MD4
Workload: 1024 loops, 256 accel

Speed.GPU.#1.: 23188.8 MH/s

Hashtype: MD5
Workload: 1024 loops, 256 accel

Speed.GPU.#1.: 11552.2 MH/s

Hashtype: SHA1
Workload: 1024 loops, 256 accel

Speed.GPU.#1.: 3698.8 MH/s

Hashtype: SHA256
Workload: 512 loops, 256 accel

Speed.GPU.#1.: 1531.1 MH/s

Hashtype: SHA512
Workload: 256 loops, 256 accel

Speed.GPU.#1.: 241.7 MH/s

I don't have anything else running, I just have X because it's required to work with this driver.

BTW, I'm using driver version 14.10, because when I try to download 10.4 the website automatically send back the 14.10 version. Is it my performance issue?

Finally, if I use od6config my R9 290X cooler noise is REALLY high, however with default setting from oclHashcat (1.21) it's kind of quite. May it be related?

Thanks.
