Title: Significant mining power reduction on Radeon 5850. Post by: KBundy on November 26, 2012, 05:14:57 PM Greetings all,
Feels good to back in the best community of all time! Just started mining again with my Asus-5850 gpu and have been running into a small problem that I figured may be a simple fix. Using GuiMiner v2012-11-18 I start off by getting around 280 mhash/s with a modest overclock. I'll come back to my computer after a while (sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes a couple hours) and the card utilization drops to practically nothing with about 250 k/hash per second? I know it's not overheating and shutting itself off as the gpu is watercooled and runs at a sweet 25-27 degrees Celsius all times. Anyone know what might be going on here? Thanks for taking a look! -KBundy *** UPDATE *** Upon monitoring GUIMiner more closely, I have noticed that this problem appears to happen every 15-20 minutes or so? Have to restart the miner continuously defeating the purpose of mining in the first place. Help a brother out here? *** UPDATE *** Upon further monitoring, it looks like it decided to stop dedicating full resources after the block was solved and a new block was started?

I would try underclocking the memory and stock clock the GPU. |
