Title: What is best 7950 brand? Post by: notlist3d on April 25, 2013, 01:04:02 AM What brand do you tend to see the best performance mining bitcoins for 7950's?

This after overclocking slightly in Catalyst to 1020Mhz (from stock 950Mhz). I haven't found an optimal config on cgminer to get those 600+ rates, right now I'm using this:
cgminer -o http://coinotron.com:3334 -u username -p password --shaders 1792 --intensity 14 --worksize 256 -v 1 If I up the intensity the screen goes to hell and the system overall is unresponsive.

Sapphire HD7950 Boost 3GB 384Bit GDDR5 16X for Litecoin mining and they get 550 kh/s almost straight out of the box - you can get 600 kh/s with only minor tweaking or simply by copying some of the settings found here: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison#wiki-ATI_AMD_GPUs (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison#wiki-ATI_AMD_GPUs) Title: Re: What is best 7950 brand? Post by: grabble on April 26, 2013, 10:12:12 PM I like XFX I've been running mine hard for about 6 months and no problems whatsoever. I had a Gigabyte that the fan died on me within 3 months. Also I have 4 Gigabyte 6950 and the fan is dead on half of them (luckily they have 3 a piece).
