Title: BEST 7970 BIOS for mining litecoin and other scrypt currencies
Post by: pyromaniac on July 29, 2013, 04:36:05 PM
Hello!
Which BIOS did you use for mining LTC? Which is optimal? I mean faster, less noisy and better operate at high frequencies. I'm using default PowerColor 7970 BIOS and it's works pretty good. But could it be better?

I used these instructions, but be careful. If you destroy your card, you can only blame yourself for it.

Every component that you have in your computer affects the end result. There is no magic commandline or bios that works for everyone.

The bios you pick really depends on what card you are using. For my Gigabyte 7970 rev 2.1 I flashed to this Bios and am running 1100/1500 at 770 kh/s = http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/131592/gigabyte-hd7970-3072-121214.html

For my sapphire 7970 i followed the instructions on above post given which gave me this Bios to use : http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/129658/sapphire-hd7970-3072-120926.html
Running 770 kh/s as well on 1100/1500 now using 13.6 beta 2 catalyst on win 7 rig. Hope that helps!
