Title: Help with my 5850 configuration Post by: swissmate on May 15, 2012, 11:53:01 AM HI I just bought an Ati Sapphire HD 5850.
The thing is that when mining (with guiminer) it only gives me an average of 200 Mhash/s. It's on standard settings I haven't changed anything. So what should I change to optimize the hashrate and should I use another mining software instead of guiminer?

Many windows miners are using MSI Afterburner to control the GPU settings. Most of the miners i saw on forums are using around 900MHz for GPU clock and 300MHz memory clock settings to reach ~360MHash/s, while setting fans to keep temperature levels up to ~75C. I'm not sure about voltages your card is set. I've never used GUIminer, so can't help you there, I'm on phoenix/cgminer/BAMT/Linux bandwagon. My Sapphire 5850 and 5850 eXtreme are all set to 900MHz-300MHz-1.088v and mine stable at 350-370MHash/s. You'll have some fun while setting your system, but I believe you'll make it work properly.

Everywhere I search, they always put -w128 Anyone has the same experience? Title: Re: Help with my 5850 configuration Post by: oldDirty on May 16, 2012, 10:00:03 PM No idea, i use now cgminer. I've never tried -v-w64.
