I'm not sure what I've done wrong here, it's been a few years since I've set up a miner! Hopefully someone here knows more than me. I'm using an older PC: AMD fx-6200, 12GB DDR3, r9 280X gpu. trying to use xmr-stak to mine monero. Using Radeon Crimson Driver Packaging Version

GPU configuration. You should play around with intensity and worksize as the fastest settings will vary.
index - GPU index number usually starts from 0
intensity - Number of parallel GPU threads (nothing to do with CPU threads)
worksize - Number of local GPU threads (nothing to do with CPU threads)
affine_to_cpu - This will affine the thread to a CPU. This can make a GPU miner play along nicer with a CPU miner.

TLS Settings
If you need real security, make sure tls_secure_algo is enabled (otherwise MITM attack can downgrade encryption
to trivially breakable stuff like DES and MD5), and verify the server's fingerprint through a trusted channel.
use_tls - This option will make us connect using Transport Layer Security.
tls_secure_algo - Use only secure algorithms. This will make us quit with an error if we can't negotiate a secure algo.
tls_fingerprint - Server's SHA256 fingerprint. If this string is non-empty then we will check the server's cert against it.

Network timeouts.
Because of the way this client is written it doesn't need to constantly talk (keep-alive) to the server to make
sure it is there. We detect a buggy / overloaded server by the call timeout. The default values will be ok for
nearly all cases. If they aren't the pool has most likely overload issues. Low call timeout values are preferable -
long timeouts mean that we waste hashes on potentially stale jobs. Connection report will tell you how long the
server usually takes to process our calls.
call_timeout - How long should we wait for a response from the server before we assume it is dead and drop the connection.
retry_time - How long should we wait before another connection attempt.
Both values are in seconds.
giveup_limit - Limit how many times we try to reconnect to the pool. Zero means no limit. Note that stak miners
don't mine while the connection is lost, so your computer's power usage goes down to idle.

Output control.
Since most people are used to miners printing all the time, that's what we do by default too. This is suboptimal
really, since you cannot see errors under pages and pages of text and performance stats. Given that we have internal
performance monitors, there is very little reason to spew out pages of text instead of concise reports.
Press 'h' (hashrate), 'r' (results) or 'c' (connection) to print reports.
