Glad I bought 5 of them when I did.... getting a solid 310-315 per card.

Gonna enjoy selling my used 5830s on eBay for a profit :)

Egh that's why I never want to buy used GPUs...

The "Xtreme" model really does seem to overclock well but the price on Newegg without free ship isn't quite as wonderful.

I got two of those on the way now. I was hoping they'd be around in a few weeks when I can afford a couple more. Finger's crossed they get more stock again.

970/325 at stock voltage, still fiddling a little to see if I can get it higher and be stable
phoenix 1.50 with phatk
BFI_INT FALSELOOP=false VECTORS WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=12

I believe those are the correct flags.  I'm using trixx to OC the cards.

300 should be easy to get. I wouldn't worry about getting over 300. The amount of overclock, the increased power draw, increased heat, isn't worth it. It looks cool when you tell other people but squeezing out the last 10-20 mhash cost you money.

At 930/320 you'll hit 300 easily.

I'm running one on XP at 1000/300 and getting 304 m/hash, rock steady.

What'd you put the voltage at?

I have the same set up and I get 329. It's just stock voltages for me.

make sure to get the latest phoenix and the latest phatk kernel to get 5-10 Mhashes boost.

Back in stock again. Limit 30 per customer now.
I guess they have a few this time.

Bitcoin mining is a small fraction of AMD sales though.  Must be all the gamers snatching these things up.
