using google translator: hello miners do not know if your problem is in the hardware but certainly the miners software are leaving much to be desired mainly in the series R9 200’s (AMD) already’m not so beginner but I am returning to mining and see that at ETH this series of graphic chips are even very competitive but one r9 280 get only 8 ~ 9 sol/s is basically ridiculous and this is still good because it works though all spend the night searching for news on mining AMD chips already participated in many releases I know you’re in beginning but even so the level of the programmers involved was already to have left something better and help more miners. ---

Add more RAM into your system and plug in the video card directly into the PCI-E slot. ---
