Title: software for 7970 and 7950 Post by: ddd1 on May 06, 2012, 10:02:27 PM I'm currently mining with guiminer/opencl.
7970 is 1125mhz on core and gives about 640mhash. My 7950 at 1030mhz core gives about 495mhash. Q: would diablominer or other software give more then that? They are only 96% core load for some odd reason, I'm using catalyst 12.3 I know that 12.2 is recommended might try that later.

I'm using CCC 12.3 as well. 12.4 really messed up mining for me.

-I 9 -k poclbm --auto-fan --gpu-engine 1100-1180 --auto-gpu --gpu-vddc 0.88 --gpu-memdiff -150 gets me 702Mhash/card on 7970 poclbm currently gets me best performance Title: Re: software for 7970 and 7950 Post by: ddd1 on May 08, 2012, 11:50:26 PM With CGMiner, try diablo's kernel.

Thanks, cgminer is alot better compared to guiminer. cgminer, 12.2 pre beta driver (reccomended by cgminer author) -I 9 -k poclbm --auto-fan --gpu-engine 1100-1180 --auto-gpu --gpu-vddc 0.88 --gpu-memdiff -150 gets me 702Mhash/card on 7970 poclbm currently gets me best performance How do I know which kernel is running? I guess that means that youre 7970 gpu core is between 1100-1180mhz and the memory is 150mhz less so 950-1030mhz? I'm now 1125/1050 on the 7970 and it gives 660mhash, the 7950 is 1100/1250 and 575mhash. I would like to overclock more the core but it is capped at 1125 for 7970 and 1100 for 7950 how do I unlock that in cgminer or windows 7 because I have watercooling?

Card dropped from 83 degrees to 74 degrees, and now my clock from 1125 to 1180. A higher clock and much lower temperatures. Getting Currently: "697.8 mhash" Its insane how much this card can undervolt and overclock at the same time Stock: 1000>1180 Voltage: 1.17>0.88 Volts(25% under volt) All the previous cards I had never OC and Undervolted this much.

Ckolivas himself admits that cgminer cannot set the voltage on 7970s: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77238.msg860395#msg860395 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77238.msg860395#msg860395) Of course at 1180 you're not undervolting: you're at stock voltage. Which is pretty fine indeed :) -- Bye |
