I switched from the claymore miner to the genoil miner (from claymore 7.2 to genoil 1.1.7), and I lost about 10MH/s in the process. I have a rig of 5 R9 290s (reference), and on claymore (single mining), I got 158MH/s. Now on genoil, Im getting 148 MH/s. ???????? Same clocks and voltages.

With my rig of 290's, Genoil 1.1.9 give me best results pool side, even if he write less on miner side.
Whatever the miner you use, i hope you modded ur 290 with stilt bios.
Did you max the relevent parameters for genoil? cl-local-work and cl-global-work are not optimized by default in genoil, unlike in Claymore's miner.
All this said, I've seen the same thing myself, and I just stick with claymore. I get 31.2MH/s/card (measured by actual at-pool hash output, including "devfee") at ~200watts (at the wall) from my 290s using claymore. Genoil's miner has never achieved the same for me no matter what I've tried.
After you flash, some programs will show it as an 8GB 390X card, but it doesn't matter, it knows it only has 4GB and won't try to access beyond 4GB or anything silly like that.
when I boot genoils, the text in the console shows is very slow, someone knows how to fix it? my specs x6 rx470
Anyway, no, the 390Mod BIOS was not created as a mining specific BIOS, so it doesn't change ROP count. But, I get about the same power savings as with Stilt's BIOSes (I ran them since they were released, until I recently tried the 390mod BIOS).
@jsanzp pretty common issue with slower CPUs. Just let it run and it'll start up eventually.
