I was wondering if anyone has done this, I spent the time today to TRY to get it to work installing cmake, boost, openssl, cuda, curl .. I was finally able to get cmake to make a config file and tried to build in vs 2008 with out any luck.

Anyone else done this?

I pulled the source from https://github.com/Ang3lus/rpcminer-mod

Before you say why not use a precompiled one its because someone posted in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=163750.0 that he was able to adjust some of the code to better work with nvidia kepler cards and get a much better hash rate out.

Is their some sort of guide for when you need to adjust and what to adjust?  I could play with settings all day long but the question is if I push the clock rate do I need to adjust the volts?

You cant get anything soon, everything is sold out and well lots of people dont trust these guys, I looked at butter fly labs and would love to get their small vesion for $249, not sure I want to wait 6 months for it or even put my money down cause all sales are final.. lots of threads about people having issues with these guys..

I was wondering after doing a bit of research the proper way to deal with over clocking for mining specifically.

I just bought a card that has voltage unlocked and I have been reading forms that changing the following helps increase hash rates

* Core Clock
* Memory
* Voltage

Some settings I have seen and well tested on a older card where

Core = 980
Memory = 300
Voltage = default

So what settings do I adjust first to see about increasing hash rates, keeping the system stable and the heat down..

For example do I push core to 1000 keep everything set, or when I push core do I need to adjust memory up or down and or voltage.

Can some kind sole explain how this is best done in steps..

I just picked up a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009B6Y01Y/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009B6Y01Y&linkCode=as2&tag=pocketbargins-20

Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC with Boost 3GB DDR5 DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11197-03-40G

In the reviews someone mentioned they where able to push the card to about 700 Hashes.. I should get it tomorrow and report back as to what I can push it to

Which ASIC did you get? I thought about it, but with the current whishy washy of them actually shipping one I'm a bit hesitant to get one, or if I do now Ill have to wait in a long line of others

Seeing how everyone or us newbies are scrambling to put our boots on and mine I wanted to know what people where thinking of putting together as their first or 2nd mining rig.

I for one have a extra radeon 5870, and old mb that supports it, I recently installed a vanilla windows 7 sp1 and got the card up to about 460~ average.  Ill prob buy another 5870 for the other slot and see if I can at least with one small cheap rig (most parts already had besides buying another video card) push it to 1G~

From their I'm thinking and its hard to get these cards is the 7950's which are for crazy prices on ebay, but maybe investing in 2 of those which I think stock pull in around 700~

So ideally my first 2 gigs would be 2 5870's, and 2 7950's pulling in potentially 2400~ ..

thoughts on other video cards to look at..?

Hi, im a video game developer, part time craft beer lover and well now a bitcoin miner!

Everything I read *claims* that 2.1 and 11.xx drivers 11.12 recommended is much better.  They claim from what I have gathered that its a 10% decrease when going to up versions of the sdk.. not sure about the c drivers tho..

So I have a few Radeon cards laying around and I thought I would see what they can push as far as mining.  Unfortunately my main gaming rig is all Nvidia powered and I didn't realize the huge difference between the two companies as far as sha256 hashing.

Anyhow with that said I tried out xubuntu from a guide I found on the net, its a bit more complex to set up but was able to get it running but for some reason I was only seeing around 250, and well while the overclock tools or the various drivers I had to track down and try didnt seem to help.  I booted up the same box with a vanilla windows 7 with sp1, installed the proper recommended ati sdk 2.1 and c 11.12 drivers.  I also downloaded amd clocking tool and bumped up my core to 980 with memory at 300, no voltage change and boom I was mining at around 450 average for the same card.

Here is an included screenshot of the details.
