Title: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: namley on June 05, 2011, 06:18:53 AM Hey I was just curious if anyone has pushed their 5830's over the 311MHash/s Mark.
I have two Sapphire 5830's Core Clock: 1000MHz Memory Clock: 320MHz Average Temp : 60-66C Depending on the Time of day. Getting 311.4->311.89 using Pheonix Miner in Win7 without Aero Pheonix settings. ================= POCLBM VECTORS AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128 FASTLOOP Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's Post by: namley on June 05, 2011, 06:25:18 AM Sorry, I mean 256WorkSize not 128
Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: gigabytecoin on June 05, 2011, 06:41:03 AM Can you seriously sustain those speeds? Are you changing the voltages?
I can only sustain 950mhz core/300mhz memory at the most.. and even that cuts out after a few hours (with stock voltages). Are the cards all squeezed into one motherboard or are they separated from each other with cables? Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: namley on June 05, 2011, 06:44:53 AM Both cards on 1 motherboard no volt mods stock (1.163).
Very tempted to try and see what 1.25V will allow me to overclock the card to, STABILY. GA P55-USB3 no separation cables. I have Sustained these speeds for about 2 days now. I ran the cards solid at 1000/300 for about 2weeks, with no issues. Couple days ago decided to try Phoenix miner. After some trial and error found out that POCLBM gives me about 5-8Mhash more then phatk. I have the Mobo on a tabletop, no case with two 120MM Fans blowing on the cards, with the GPU Cooling Fans at 80%. Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: PcChip on June 05, 2011, 06:48:31 AM Gigabytecoin: TriXX will let you up the voltage to sustain those speeds
Namley: If you're getting more with poclbcm than with PhatK, maybe you have the old Stream SDK? Try 2.4 instead of 2.1 Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: SgtSpike on June 05, 2011, 06:53:48 AM What software did you use to overclock? Trixx only overclocks one of the cards...

I am using linuxcion.. and if you set multiple cards to 950/300 then it will freeze guaranteed within a few hours (for myself at least). How hot are your cards running at full speed? Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: namley on June 05, 2011, 06:57:01 AM Trixx will only overclock one of the cards, due to the fact, that It would only pair profiles if the card's are Crossfired. I used ATI Tray Tools.

Try 2.4 instead of 2.1 I'm using SDK 2.1 I actually had issues with 2.4 and my Cards not showing up at all, but that was back using GUIMiner, I'd had to test it out with Phoenix.

Catalyst 10.11 with sdk 2.1? Newest catalyst with sdk 2.4? linux/windows? And, under each of those settings, would you be using poclbm or phatk?

I only ask because as time progresses, I notice that what people do changes, and I'm wondering what has been established as "best". Haven't done extensive testing but I'm currently getting about 300Mh/s +/- a few with: Win 7 x64 Catalyst 11.5 phoenix 1.48/phatk TriXX to adjust to 996/300 (MSI afterburner couldn't underclock my memory nearly that far) It's been stable for 24+ hours. Would attempt slightly higher clocks, but I'm not sure its worth it.... already near 25% overclock. Would love to see some linux results, but as near as I can tell, the clocks I'm getting in windows require a BIOS flash to attain in linux, which just isn't a risk I'm willing to take.

The two I have were unstable anytime I tried to clock above 970, or memory below its normal 1000... what gives... how are you guys able to OC them so high and they last for days.

Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: inlikeflynn on June 07, 2011, 03:56:20 AM At night time when i'm not going to be using my computer, I can crank the Sapphire 5830 up to 319MH/sec running at 62-65C with 1030core/315memory/1174mv
This is only stable if mining is the only thing happening. When in use for other things, I bump it down to 312MH/sec which is stable with other apps running. I'm curious if this card will even go higher, as it really doesn't have any good airflow at the moment, just a low room temp from being in a basement.

You seem to be using something more recent than Windows XP. Am I the only XP user on this forum? At any rate, I have Catalyst installed -- I installed the whole enchilada -- Catalyst 11.5. And though I'm clocked 965/550, I'm not having any problems at all. Maybe it's a Windows 7 thing and no one has realized it yet.

My XFX seems to get REALLY unstable after 925mhz core, and I've tried lowering my memory clock to 275mhz. Can I ask what driver version and stream SDK you're using? What software did you use to overclock, and what miner are you using? Trying to push the most out of it if at all possible.edit: tried worksize 256 and i got 10mh/s more! weird poclbm gave me less with ws at 256. Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: twitcoins on June 07, 2011, 11:20:15 PM Yeah, this sounds just about right. In theory if you supply more voltage this card should be able to hit 1200 core, if you can cool it :D I'm thinking about taking one of my cards out of the production rig and seeing just how far I can push it. 350 Mhash/s seems just -barely- doable, but would be horrendous for juice and cooling.
I'm also using 2.1 and poclbm, haven't had enough time to play with the latest miner/SDK combos under Ubuntu. Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: innervisi0nn on June 07, 2011, 11:46:29 PM im doing 300 mhashes for each 5830 card via xfx or sapphire with phoenix -phatk.
now on my testbed machine, HAF 922 with 3x sapphire 5830s, check out the temps: 1st card (Top) 73 celcius 2nd card (Middle) 87 celcius 3rd card (Bottom) 65 celcius What the hell is going on? I get the 2nd card is in the middle and cant breathe, but i have 3x200MM fans blowing and the HAF case is made just for air flow, any ideas? running 950/320 =\ Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: twitcoins on June 07, 2011, 11:54:00 PM You've got it, that middle card can't breathe. If the different cards have different types of blowers, might be worth switching up the order.

If the different cards have different types of blowers, might be worth switching up the order. They are all duplicate cards, 3x sapphire 5830's. Such a waste if I can get these 3 working. Im doing fine 2x on each machine for 2 machines, but this 3rd rig wont work, 83+ now, totally need to figure something out. How the hell are people shoving 3-4 cards in a case? Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: twitcoins on June 08, 2011, 12:07:26 AM A lot of people are using cases with more spacing (or no case at all), so they can leave empty slots between the double-wide cards.
Have you manually ramped that hot card to 100% fan? It's noisy, but it might help you out. You can also clock it differently than your other two, and spend that juice/cooling on bumping the cooler ones. I'd imagine a good balance would be where all three temps even out at a level you're comfortable with.

I've messed with the clock rates/mem rates, but it applies it to all 3 cards, need to remove sync. I couldn't find any mobos out there that have enough space to fit 3 cards + leaving room between cards, this is about 1/2 inch apart if any from each-other. I've ramped it up to 90%, but I dont want to do 100% if im running 24/7 because the amount of cycles in a fan (itll die on short notice if I do 100% compared to 80/90%) More in it for the long run than short, Ill mess with the middle card clock rates, thanks again buddy!

(shrug) Make sure when your dropping the memory, between 400-600 the card is extremely unstable. The Sapphire 5830, has a power save mode, which underclocks the card to 157/400 I think. ** I know the Core Clock speed is for sure, not the memory clock speeds in powersave mode ** Drop the memory clock all the way down to 300, make sure that the card is running above the powersave 0.9V MSI Afterburner - Can't do it ** not that I know of anyway ** If your using ATI Tray Tools, set the Voltage profile from 0.9 to 1.163 then save the core clock somewhere between 800-1000 or where every you want, and the memory down to 300 If you bump the core above 828 I found that the card hardlocks using the 0.9V card profile. Start by adjusting it at 5MHz increments and test for a couple minutes mining, making sure you keep your temps below 80C. You can run the Temps higher, but its not recommended for long term use, especially 24/7 100% utilization lol When the card starts to studder back it off by 20MHz, then start playing with the AGGRESSION and WORKSIZE and other RPC Miner options. It takes some playing around with to find the sweet spot for the card in your system, but when you find that hotspot, she's good to go for a long time :), unless some fails of course :P Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: namley on June 08, 2011, 03:13:06 AM im doing 300 mhashes for each 5830 card via xfx or sapphire with phoenix -phatk. now on my testbed machine, HAF 922 with 3x sapphire 5830s, check out the temps: 1st card (Top) 73 celcius 2nd card (Middle) 87 celcius 3rd card (Bottom) 65 celcius What the hell is going on?

I get the 2nd card is in the middle and cant breathe, but i have 3x200MM fans blowing and the HAF case is made just for air flow, any ideas? running 950/320 =\ I have a similar issue w/ two cards, but not so bad. I have to have my sound card squeezed between my two 5830's so the top card has little airflow. I just open the case up and put a small floor fan angled to blow air out the back... works wonders. Probably doesn't even cost a whole lot more in electricity either, since you can lower the fan speed on your cards quite a bit. Like when my cards were running 63o/72o, that floor fan dropped them to 60o/64o within a minute. Just like some $15 fan or something that doesn't draw a huge amt of power. The highest I've ever gotten on my 5830 was ~330 (1050 core). That only lasted about a few minutes before it froze though, haha. It'll run "stable" at 1030 core as long as I do absolutely nothing else with my computer, at about 318-319.

Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: donotdisassemble on June 09, 2011, 10:54:08 PM I have one rig with 2 5830s and just ordered my second with 4 of them... :) The two I have were unstable anytime I tried to clock above 970, or memory below its normal 1000... what gives... how are you guys able to OC them so high and they last for days. (shrug) Make sure when your dropping the memory, between 400-600 the card is extremely unstable. The Sapphire 5830, has a power save mode, which underclocks the card to 157/400 I think. ** I know the Core Clock speed is for sure, not the memory clock speeds in powersave mode ** Drop the memory clock all the way down to 300, make sure that the card is running above the powersave 0.9V MSI Afterburner - Can't do it ** not that I know of anyway ** If your using ATI Tray Tools, set the Voltage profile from 0.9 to 1.163 then save the core clock somewhere between 800-1000 or where every you want, and the memory down to 300 If you bump the core above 828 I found that the card hardlocks using the 0.9V card profile. Start by adjusting it at 5MHz increments and test for a couple minutes mining, making sure you keep your temps below 80C. You can run the Temps higher, but its not recommended for long term use, especially 24/7 100% utilization lol When the card starts to studder back it off by 20MHz, then start playing with the AGGRESSION and WORKSIZE and other RPC Miner options. It takes some playing around with to find the sweet spot for the card in your system, but when you find that hotspot, she's good to go for a long time :), unless some fails of course :P YES, Double YES! thank you. I can finally clock both cards the way I want and without crashing them. the key was removing all the crappy tools like afterburner, trixx. disabling ATI's own processes, and then removing UAC and installing ATI Tray tools as admin on win 7. Upping the voltage FIRST before playing with RAM speed was the trick! kudos! im at 980:180:1.163v and runnig stable at about 304Mhs on each card ... woo hoo. ;D --edit: Namely: I just sent you a little token of appreciation. thanks much for the help. -John Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: airdata on June 11, 2011, 06:06:42 AM Ok... Upon advice here I did remove the middle 5830 and swapped it w\ the 5770 i had in the system next to it.
This didn't help temps at all. Went to microcenter earlier today and got 2 of these : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103091 for $5.96ea. Because of the size of the fans and the orientation of the power plugs, I couldn't put both the same way. I have the one in the front exhausting hot air upwards and the one in the back is blowing downwards. Current temps under load are : 53, 61, 79.

I found them here. http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=733 So my rigs are very clean, nothing but Win7x64, ATI drivers and AMD APP SDK Runtime. Then I turn off UAC and install ATI Tray Tools. Then make sure on the Hardware Overclocking you turn up the voltage to 1.163 and hit apply before you start moving the sliders. On my HD 5830 I am stable at Core 1001 and Mem Speed 300, temps stay around 70 to 72 but I do have moderate airflow. After you get it all dial in and stable you should make a profile by checking the "Include clocks in profile" then clicking save icon. You can then select that profile to load on startup. With this method I am getting 303 MHash/s running Phoenix/phatk with these options: -k phatk PLATFORM=0 DEVICE=1 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=128 AGGRESSION=12 I know other people are getting more, but this is what is stable and has the most yield for me at this time. (And I am way happy with 303 MHash/s as compared to my 6970s which cost like >$200 over the 5830s and barely get 78 MHash/s more...)

Now, I tied them together with crossfire on a single board, getting 234M/s max on each. Which is bad. I hope to put in some VGA-dummy-plugs tomorrow, maybe the crossfire is messing things up.

In the settings you can select the card to adjust. And if all else fails, set the clocks manually with AMD GPU Clock Tool (this is what I use when my other tools fail).

So any OC'ers out there know of this magical tool we seek? ::) What the hell are you talking about? with MSI afterburner you can easily select exactly which GPU you want to adjust, from the settings menu. There's no need to use "synchronize settings for similar gpu".

Very tempted to try and see what 1.25V will allow me to overclock the card to, STABILY. GA P55-USB3 no separation cables. I have Sustained these speeds for about 2 days now. I ran the cards solid at 1000/300 for about 2weeks, with no issues. Couple days ago decided to try Phoenix miner. After some trial and error found out that POCLBM gives me about 5-8Mhash more then phatk. I have the Mobo on a tabletop, no case with two 120MM Fans blowing on the cards, with the GPU Cooling Fans at 80%. from my experience on the Sapphire cards, the voltage cannot be overclocked without manually modding the board... if anyone knows differently please enlighten me.

Modified the voltage of each card to 1.0v voltage via using RBE to edit existing bios, the 4 cards are running 860/280 across the board (for now, still stability testing, stable for over 24 hours atleast). Fan speed set to 60% across the board.. room temp of 26'c, hottest card about 78'c, coolest card about 50'c. Power draw measured from wall: 480w. Seems like I could have built this system with a 600w PSU after the undervolting. System total is about 1060mhash/sec (~265 per card using poclbm phatk), build cost was about $900 before tax as I got each card for $103, but if I knew the power draw was going to be this low I could have opted for a PSU that wasn't $150.

If this is not a dedicated rig though, then there is one issue with using mem clocks as low as ~200. Any load on the video card, such as playing video or flash, will lower the hashrate a lot more than at higher mem clocks. Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: Mabsark on June 24, 2011, 11:17:10 AM Pretty much spot-on. At worksize=128, between 180 and 250 the hashrate varies by a couple Mh/s, below 180 it drops fast and above 250 it starts decreasing slowly. By mem clock 300, worksize=256 is ~10 Mh/s faster and peaks at mem clock 354. But the worksize=256 peak @ mem clock 354 is still about 5 Mh/s lower than the worksize=128 peak at mem clock 186. I wonder why the hashrate is spiking at those values? It seems extremely odd to me that there should be performance spikes at such low clocks. I'd expect them to be at the high end. If this is not a dedicated rig though, then there is one issue with using mem clocks as low as ~200. Any load on the video card, such as playing video or flash, will lower the hashrate a lot more than at higher mem clocks. Yeah, I noticed that. I got around the flash problem by disabling hardware acceleration for flash. I also noticed that avi files had no effect on the hash rate but mkv's dropped it to about 50 Mh/s. I'm only downloading xvids from now on, they seem to play ok with AGRESSION set to 6 and I'm trying to avoid or disable anything that uses hardware acceleration.

I'm using the latest Catalyst 2.4 drivers (which include OpenCL), and using Sapphire TriXX to control settings. 1000/300, 1.2v, 65% fan. phoenix miner: -k phatk vectors bfi_int aggression=12 ~310 Mhash When I push it to 1033/300, I get ~320 Mhash. ---------- Edit: This has been brought up before in other threads (or so I've been told). While TriXX lets you adjust the voltage of the Sapphire 5830 cards, many programs that monitor your video card may NOT actually be reading the correct voltage. For example, pushing the voltage from ~1.16 default to ~1.20 in TriXX may still show up as ~1.16 in GPU-Z, GPU Caps Viewer, HWMonitor, etc, etc - which gives you the impression that TriXX didn't work. There is one program I know of that reads the voltage correctly. HWiNFO http://www.hwinfo.com/ (http://www.hwinfo.com/) On load, it displays the voltage of 1.156v (1163 in TriXX). When I set it to "1200" in TriXX, HWiNFO then reads 1.195v. So I know TriXX is working.

This HIS card is a champ. Chip stays below 70c. On the two sapphires, they are in a regular pc case and run a little warmer. They are running at about 80c with 65% fan. Thanks for the info. My 2 5830's are in about the same ambient temp and setup (they are in a case, but I've got external fans going on them). I wrote a little monitor that will help tell ya the info in a screen session (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=13855.msg188817#msg188817), or if you you have access to a terminal: Code: DISPLAY=:0.[whichever]; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get activity" Up to you if you're in the mood to do it :P The HIS sounds nice. I'm going to try to replicate your results on my Sapphires next chance I get. Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: Mabsark on July 05, 2011, 10:18:54 AM The conclusion I came to with the 6870 was that the sweetspot was between 180 and 240. I was thinking the 5800s should be similar. There seemed to be a nice spike between those values, then below 180 the hash rates fell off rapidly. Did you find a similar pattern? How did you get your mem down that low on the 6870? Did you flash the bios? MSI Afterburner. Enable unofficial overclocking by editing the config file. (http://vivithemage.com/2011/03/enabling-unofficial-overclocking-in-msi-afterburner-2-1/) Afterburner will appear to only let you take the memory so low, around 525 Mhz at first. Close it down then reopen it. Now you can take it down even lower, to around 260 MHz. Close it down, reopen it, set to 225 Mhz.

Saves a lot of power and the card stays cooler. You should also apply the phoenix tweaks to speeze out more MH/s or try playing around with agression and worksize. My cards are giving me 285MH/s @ 900Mhz core.

With 930 core and 190 mem I can get 297mhash. By the time I bump it up to 960 core, I'm just over 300mhash. I just use the standard settings for a 5xxx card on the GUI miner. For whatever reason, 180-190 mem was a sweet spot on my card. If the card isn't next to another one, I can get it up to 970 core, getting 312mhash.

I do not want to flash em, I have 4 running in a rig.

I do not want to flash em, I have 4 running in a rig. Vivi : you can use msi afterburner. Follow this guide : http://bitclockers.com/forums/index.php?topic=5.0 It requires you to install msi afterburner and then edit a couple of lines of the cfg file. To get the memory clock below 500 you may have to move it to 500 and then close the program and open it back up to get it to lets say 300 or below. Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: vivithemage on July 12, 2011, 08:12:37 PM Yup, but what should I clock down to save power, but keep up mhash?
Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: ihokamik on July 12, 2011, 09:03:33 PM Yup, but what should I clock down to save power, but keep up mhash? I run my Sapphire 5830 core at 966 MHz and the Memory art 325 MHz. I actually get faster hashing speed when the memory runs between 300 and 350 MHz than the default but it crashes if I launch a game. I think that the sweet spot is tightly related to your core speed. Some people are obtaining better performance at other mem speed but 325 works best for me. I haven't changed the voltage, MSI afterburner won't let me do it on this card.

Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: lowlevel on August 01, 2011, 02:13:44 AM Hey I was just curious if anyone has pushed their 5830's over the 311MHash/s Mark. Getting 311.4->311.89 using Pheonix Miner in Win7 without Aero I'm getting about 311.6 to 312.2 or so sustained on one of my 5830's. 975mhz gpu, 320mhz ram, stock voltage. My other two are in the same box and I have trouble with them past 960mhz.. so those I get 305ish on. I'm sure if I was willing to up the voltage and push the clock harder, I could get 320mhashes... but I'm not really into frying video cards.

Title: Re: Good Speeds on Sapphire 5830's 311.4MHash/s Post by: SolidBitShop on August 01, 2011, 09:25:45 AM The stable core clock is i think by luck. I have 6 of them and not everyone runs at the same speed. For example
1015/325 - 323M#/s 74C Fan 60% - unstable for 1020+ (freezes the PC) 975/325 - 311M#/s 76C Fan 66% - unstable for longer period of time from 985+ (The drivers turn off and the card is not mining. stays on 0% GPU load) 965/325 - 308M#/s 78C Fan 69% - above 965 it gets unstable These above are in one case. From top - the cards have better air flow. Space between is one pci/pcie slot. Two 120mm fans blowing out the hot air from the back end of the cards. If there is one 120mm fan blowing in the air on a side of a card to the fans on the cards it gets - 2/4 C depends on card (the first cards temp stays the same) The other rig is 930@275 - 298M#/s 77 - 80 C (depends on the outside temperature) Fan 76% - Can't really tell whats the stable core clock (its running at low core clock because the heat is killing the card, its in close position to another cards so the temps are very high) 1006@315 - 319-321 M#/s 76 - 78C Fan at 66% (Its stable above these settings but the efficiency is poor (it gets less accepted and many rejected) 1015@315 - 321 - 324 M#/s 72 - 74 C Fan 54% ( unstable for 1020 +) For this configuration there is only one 120mm fan blowing out the heat from the first and second card. ( i found that blowing out air is better than blowing in - of course best combination is blowing out and blowing in - but I dont have a fan for that jet. Anyway if someone would be interested in software settings they are the same for all rigs: Win7 64x Phoenix 1.5 with phatk kernel 2011-07-17 -a 5 -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=13 FASTLOOP=false (for phoenix worksize is default for the cards witch is 256) catalyst 11.6 SDK 2,4 (tryed 11,7 sdk2,5 but one of my card didnt worked and the speed was poor for my settings) PS. ohh and the voltage is stock |
