Title: 5850 How high? Post by: miningnew on June 26, 2011, 10:17:00 PM I am getting about 320 mhash for each of my 5850s with
Clock: 875 and Memory Clock on 300 But i read of people getting about 400 mhash :O If i am going higher is the only thing i need to watch the temperature? Title: Re: 5850 How high? Post by: fascistmuffin on June 27, 2011, 12:52:10 AM Temperature and stability. My XFX5850 won't go above 850Mhz stably when being used as a "normal" computer and running a miner.

Yes its true, was running 975/300 yesterday but desktop freezes if I watch tv with kaffeine :D now running on 925/300. SDK 2.1 helps alot I run 900/300 with 2.4 i get 335-340 with 2.1 i get 350+ SDK 2.4 with phoenix and option -k phatk works also good, my other machine is doing 359 Mhash with that. Title: Re: 5850 How high? Post by: lebuen on June 27, 2011, 01:13:48 PM SDK 2.4 with phoenix and option -k phatk works also good, i can confirm that!my other machine is doing 359 Mhash with that. Title: Re: 5850 How high? Post by: Jack of Diamonds on June 27, 2011, 01:23:00 PM I can push some of these to about 920mhz, after that they tend to freeze even if I just look at Afterburner with remote desktop for 5 seconds so I don't deem it very stable.
If you are also using the PC for general stuff like surfing or reading forums, about 870-900mhz seems ideal, and you will get at least 320-330mhash/s Title: Re: 5850 How high? Post by: Grinder on June 27, 2011, 01:34:45 PM It's mainly luck. I can push my best card to 950 MHz on stock voltage, and the worst only to 850.
