Title: 40 less Mhash/sec after upgrading AMD drivers Post by: solitude on July 10, 2013, 01:41:51 PM I upgraded the drivers for my two Sapphire 7850's 2GB yesterday and with the same exact clocks am receiving 40 less Mhash/s in GUI miner.
Does anyone have a clue as to why this is? The clocks set in Sapphire TRIXX are the same as before, 1170 GPU / 1300 Memory / 1.220 voltage Was receiving 350 Mhash before now I max out at 310 Mhash. The cards are already pushing mid 80's C. with these clocks.

My 5850 gets ~350MH/s Title: Re: 40 less Mhash/sec after upgrading AMD drivers Post by: solitude on July 10, 2013, 02:12:33 PM Stop using GUI miner and start using CGMiner. :) My 5850 gets ~350MH/s I doubt GUI miner is the reason I'm seeing less Mhash Title: Re: 40 less Mhash/sec after upgrading AMD drivers Post by: Damnsammit on July 10, 2013, 02:16:50 PM Stop using GUI miner and start using CGMiner. :) My 5850 gets ~350MH/s I doubt GUI miner is the reason I'm seeing less Mhash You are probably correct. However, you should see an improvement with CGMiner... most people do! I don't know about the drivers, though. I use older cards, and they seem to only like Catalyst 13.1 so I won't be updating my drivers Title: Re: 40 less Mhash/sec after upgrading AMD drivers Post by: peasant on July 10, 2013, 04:06:55 PM It's after the fact, but if your setup is running fine don't change it. Updating drivers is not a good idea if your hashing where you should be. Also backup your old drivers if your gonna try an update. Hope you solve it. I suggest you mine LTC.
