yes of course, windows 7 64 bit or linux will run 5 cards with no problem , as long as you have enough power
you will need at least 1000 watt power supply (or very close to it) MUST BE CERTIFIED 80 BRONZE OR BETTER!
if you are trying to run 5 cards to not waste your time and money on a PSU that is not certified to be at least 80% efficient, you will never get those cards hashing
hope I could help

I'm not sure why mustang has not addresses this but tntmining is closed for all intensive purposes if you want to mine on the pool that's up to you but unless it solves a block you wont get paid , as you can see from the front page of tntmining.com it's still set to pplns. Tntmining was basically an experiment for him and if you wasted shares there I feel for ya man , no one wasted more shares than I did, I told mustang to lock this thread change the topic and close it down several days ago but for whatever reason he has not gotten around to it yet. There are nothing guaranteed with tntmining and I think you should not mine there even if it still appears to be open , it is a ship with no captain, so beware or you could be the one to go down with the ship  |

I have upgraded some of my cards, and I have decided to take this 5830 out of service
it has been mining for about 3 months with fans kept at 50% and clocks at 980/180
runs very good - gets about 310 mhash with cgminer
never pushed clocks or fans to their limits
this card has lots of life left in it and of course the exclusive XFX double lifetime guarantee
BTC payments only accepted
PM me, I can ship it today if you buy early enough.

your right and your wrong
it depends on the context of why we are comparing
if we are comparing what cards can mine faster at stock clocks then yes the 7xxx wins (according to toms hardware and his dubious unproved claims)
but if we are comparing what is going to be a more profitable card than 5870 wins hands down
so apples to apples - and oranges to oranges - we all need to realize 7xxxx series will never be profitable
and we need to take into consideration that BTC blocks will be getting halved soon
and we need to realize that FPGA is the most realistic next step - for sensible and profitable miners

and just so everyone knows pool.devcoin.org is ready for merged mining switch and will be collecting the pool portion of the bounty woo-hah! |

no no no
not overclocking the "shit out of them"
Im talking clocks at 950/180 - with 440mhash no big deal at all. the 5870 is a superior mining card to the 7000 series we have seen so far
the fact of the matter is AMD is NOT designing their cards with mining in mind and thats a fact we just have to accept.
a 7000 series mining farm will NEVER be profitable unless of course you get free electricity or some other bizarre circumstance

yes the cards arrived, they look great payment is on its way
thanks

I'm not sure when "toms hardware" became an authority on bitcoin mining but the fact is a 5870 gets 440 mhash easily, consumes much less wattage than a 7970 and cost about $150
I just don't see the plausibility in anyone making any kind of major mining operation based on these cards , there's absolutely no profitability and if we use the direction AMD has taken with their drivers as any kind of indicator they are certainly not making an effort to purposely gear their cards towards mining.
Diablod3 is certainly a well known early adopter and programmer but personally I would much rather donate to a project like a miner that can squeeze more mash out of an fpga board
To me It's almost like investing in oil rigs when there are some kick ass electric cars out there.

ok thanks for letting me know mark, I will remove it from the download list (excited for block 25000! )  |

i686 = 32 bit
if it were 64 it would say x86_64
|
|

agreed.
Also the offer to buy is now closed - I bought all the cards I need and I will not be buying any more 5870s after this one.
thank you!

I'm not sure I see the value in i0 and iX merged mining , they are basically dead , broken coins with no purpose or future

My pool is all ready and working 100% with Bitcoin as the parent chain and namecoin and devcoin as aux chains, ive been mining on it all night with my 8 ghash with no problems and have actually solved a name coin block (damn I feel lucky) I missed this, sorry. This means you're not actually mining devcoins at the moment. Your blocks will be created but then orphaned by the network as all the other nodes should reject them. You'll basically be mining your own fork of devcoin. What is the current hashrate of the entire devcoin network? Someone should ask allchains to support it, or provide an equivalent if possible. this was on a private testpool. Pool.devcoin.org is exclusively mining devcoins on mainnet until we get to the magic number block then I will shut down and reboot with new config and will be live on Bitcoin, Namecoin and Devcoin Network. Although it will take me a day or two to get the stats and web pages upgraded for users we will be effectively merged as soon as that magic number hits and I reboot the pool software. |

groovy brother so all I need to do is upgrade the pools devcoin daemon to this new one and and then at block 25500 merged mining blocks will start happening? My pool is all ready and working 100% with Bitcoin as the parent chain and namecoin and devcoin as aux chains, ive been mining on it all night with my 8 ghash with no problems and have actually solved a name coin block (damn I feel lucky) Unthinkingbit I dont know what proof you need from me but let me know so I can provide it - I could sure use that bounty right about now! on a side note if any of you brothers involved in this devcoin project would like a @devcoin.org email address just let me know and I will hand them out for free take care have a good night and ttyl! |
