Post by: Honnis on July 14, 2013, 03:05:13 PM I removed the catalyst 13.4 and installed 13.1 and it solved the problem. It was able to connect and start accepting shares. But it dropped from 380Mhash down to 320Mhash ( using default settings 880 / 1375 MHz clock speeds )
I didn't like giving up 50Mhash so I closed out GUIminer and started playing with cgminer 3.1.0 and now it's running at 376.5Mhash Now I just need to add the other HD6970 and see if I can get that speed from both of them. |
