Title: 130mhash on 5870? Post by: darvil on February 25, 2011, 08:24:17 AM Finally got my 5870 working but I seem to be getting only 130 mhash and not 300 which was expected.
Anyone have an idea what might be the issue? Card is only at 55C hot. The clock is also 875 MHz so it should be more. I'm not sure whats going on. Title: Re: 130mhash on 5870? Post by: darvil on February 25, 2011, 09:13:04 AM Just solved it after reading the problem with sdk 2.2 2.3 etc.
I removed 2.3 and installed 2.2. That did the trick. I'm now in the 320 mhash w00t ;) edit: turns out I'm wrong. It dropped back down to 150 mhash but I notice that it was after I opened up FF. After I closed FF, I got back to 320. I'm not sure what the deal is but I guess I'll have to close FF down and use chrome instead. Baffling though. Title: Re: 130mhash on 5870?

Flashh videos also do that too sometimes Quick google tells how to disable: http://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-direct2d-directwrite-hardware-acceleration-in-mozilla-firefox/ Title: Re: 130mhash on 5870?

After disabling the flash related tabs, I'm back in business in FF. Title: Re: 130mhash on 5870? Post by: Diablo on February 25, 2011, 09:41:20 AM Thanks for the excellent post.

You can also disable hardware acceleration in flash to be able to watch videos at the same time.After disabling the flash related tabs, I'm back in business in FF. Right click on a flash dialog and its under settings. (I noticed youtube doesn't allow the settings button, so you'll have to do it on another flash) Title: Re: 130mhash on 5870?
