I recently switched from a GTX 680 to a pair of R9 290s. I bought them both for gaming (where I've seen a modest improvement) and for cryptocurrency mining (where I've seen a dramatic improvement).
The one thing that drives me bonkers is the fact that I have to reboot between gaming and mining to ensure everyone plays nice. If I try to mine after a gaming session, Windows will lock up for a few seconds, I'll get a message about the display driver having been recovered, and my hashrate on my primary card will be zero. If I try to game after mining, I'll experience anything from game crashes to BSODs.
Is there any way I can get these applications to play nice with each other? This is almost enough to get me to reinstall my 680 and use that for gaming/display duties.
