Title: low mhash on my 7970 and 6950
Post by: ddd1 on February 29, 2012, 09:38:57 PM
I currently own 2 pc's and decided to finally try out mining.

PC#1 has 1x 7970 (540mhash) and 2x 7950 (420mhash each).

This is with guiminer and opencl, it feels rather low no?
I was expecting atleast 600mhash for 7970 and atleast 500mhash on the 7950's?

PC#2 this one has just one 6950, it only gets 265mhash but it has SDK 2.6, I'm now trying 2.4 as maybe that is better, I'm running desktop off Intel IGP.

use diablominer and 12.3 drivers - do not install any sdk.

Thanks for reply.

I think diablominer is more advanced so I need learn som syntax and codes?

the guiminer was simple.
I was under impression SDK was needed?

That's about right for the 7970 if it's stock. Most people are running them about 20% oc'ed, which is why you see the ~650 numbers.

no, just enough know-how to create a batch file, and enough reading comprehension to read the documentation.

and SDK is not needed, just the opencl runtime

ok, english is not my first language but I'll try figure out creating the batch file.

I'll try OC and see how it does on the guiminer/opencl and compare to other users results.
