1  Bitcoin / Mining / 6990 Hash rate drops significantly when using both GPUs on: May 29, 2011, 06:43:36 AM
So I finally got my 6990 setup running correctly under Ubuntu 11.04. Been doing some testing with the various settings, and so far with a single core running I'm able to hit just over 400MH/s. However, as soon as I enable the second core, both drop to more in the 340MH/s range. Is this to be expected with a dual GPU card like this? Are there any settings you'd suggest modifying to see if it makes a difference?
2  Bitcoin / Mining / OpenCL won't detect 6990 on: May 23, 2011, 06:47:34 PM
I've been following mostly Inaba's guide at http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=7514.0, but using the 2.4 SDK. I am also using the 11.5 version of the ATI driver. However, I am unable to get either clinfo or poclbm to detect the card. lspci, fglrxinfo, aticonfig --lsa all seem to see the card correctly. I've done plenty of searching and looked through all the guides I can find, but so far no solution that has worked. Any suggestions to get this running would be greatly appreciated.
