Title: Hi guys new here!
Post by: kaivorth on August 02, 2011, 03:23:26 AM
So I want to give this a shot, theres sooooo much stuff here. I read a lot of guides. Was hoping anyone with a 5770 can chime in (Hawx Edition). What is the most optimized setup for a single 5770? I don't want to pool, just solo mine.

Would I be able to throw in a 4770 as well and mine with both?

GUI version would be nice, however I can work command line if that would be more efficient. Running Windows 7 32bit with AMD 11.7 drivers. Any help is greatly appreciated, I already read a lot of guides. I just want to find one tailored to a 5770 for best performance.

No, you don't want to solo mine with 1 5770 (or 10). You may think you do but you really don't.

Yes, this is the first thing you should know about your card - it is not suitable for solo mining. Maybe if you had 100 of them...

deffinately dont do solo its a waste of time unless you have lik 15ghash/s.
you can hook up both carrd but the 4770 would only get like 20mhash/s or something
the setup i have my 5770 hawk is 950core/300mem with flags -v -w256 -f0 get around 220mh/s

best of luck mining

Guminer to slush or deepbit for the 5770,

I doubt as if 4770 will do anything much, but test it, if more than 50Mhs then run it too.

Best of luck!

It defs won't be more than 50, i have a 5470 i used to mine with and it only got 16mh/s.

You're probably right, but it's at least worth a test. I would.

Welcome! ;D

Like other said, solo mining is a big waste of time until you haven't a lot of power (with 15 GH/s you will take 1 week in average to find a block and get a reward).

I propose you the BitMinter pool (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27062.0) with a nice dedicated miner perfect for beginning without headache and a lot of command line miners and parameters ;)

You guys have convinced me. Pool mining it is. Best way to get the most out of my 5770 without overclocking (yet)?

New here myself currently using 6950 reflashed with 6970 fw getting 350 Mhash/s Solo or pool? any optimization flags I could use to get it a bit higher? using guiminer opencl

Pool

6970 averages 323 so you are doing great IMHO

Pool

avoid solo esp with your hardware.
solo would be a colossal waste of time

added -v -w128  to the flag dialouge box and seeing 390 Mhash/s latest amd drivers and amd sdk 2.4 could anyone tell me an average time it would take to make 1 BTC from a pool I worked it out at around 200 rounds?

To the OP sorry to hijack your thread dude its not intentional and I hope any information I am getting is helping you out also  ;D

"You will average 1 BTC every 4days 19hrs 33mins 35secs at 390 Mh/s with current difficulty 1888787"

Thank you looks like Aion will be taking a backseat for a while atleast until I can sort a dedicated mining rig  ;)
