I love the 5870 one!
Edit: And I love the fact that you can pay with BTC! (The BTC monetary symbol shows up as a square for me though).

I love theorycrafting when people project profitability months ahead based on a fixed BTC value. If you're going to get all goofy and assign it a fixed value, why not $50 or $83.26 per BTC? Difficulty can be predicted, with a fair degree of certainty. Exchange rates can not.

I was just wondering if there's any solo miners floating around who have less than 1GH/s of hashing power. When did you last find a block, if ever? How long did it take? What kind of MH/s are you running at? I'm just wondering if it's even worth solo'ing at this point.

I think that's about 10^12 times faster than an AMD 6990  Non OC'd maybe  |
|
|
|
I just downloaded the 2.1 SDK and I observed absolutely no change in hash rates. However, my temps went from 71C down to 67C with nothing else changed but the SDK. This totally confuses me, but I'm not going to complain  |

Thanks for the EDU on this! I'm still a little foggy about wallet.dat though. Suppose I want to move my Bitcoin wallet to an encrypted drive that's taken offline/unplugged when I'm not using it. Do I simply move wallet.dat, or do I have to move the entire directory that it resides in? Also, what would happen if my wallet.dat was on a USB drive that was offline/unplugged and I disbursed BTC from my pool account to my wallet?

Only tried phoenix so far. I will try guiminer when I get home.

I keep getting a lot of "Work queue empty, miner is idle" messages. Any way around this?
|
|
|
|
|
Ah, no wonder I can't find any 5870s anywhere. Too bad, it's a good card.
|

I just pointed my Phoenix miner at Bitcoins.lc pool and I'm getting maybe 80% "Work queue empty, miner is idle" type of messages. Is there a trick to getting things working?

If you flash and overclock it, you'll get about what I'm getting, which is 380Mhash/sec. That's like half a BTC a day.
Damn, with 440Mh/s I'm only getting about .42-.44/day. What pool are you in? |
|
|
|
|
I can't find them in stock (at a reasonable price) anywhere. Ever.

Say goodbye to the run of fast block solves. I just switched to Propo!  |
|
|
|
|
I wouldn't... Not worth the risk. Just wait for 5830's to come back in stock at NewEgg.com. They usually restock every other day or so.

Oh look, it's this thread again.

Have you tried going down to 335? A lot of people here (including me) have gotten the 5870 to 335 -333 without affecting hashing speed. What about voltage?
Yeah, I've tried 333 and, while it's a noticeable improvement over 300, it falls a few MH/s behind 350 memory clock. Voltage is automatically set at 1.250 by the ATI GPU Tool, which I'm using to adjust the core/memory clocks. I don't think there's a way for me to change the voltage with that tool. |

If I have $1,000,000.00 right now, I would not be mining. I'll probably in one of those vacation spots, bahamas or those islands.
I would invest half of it in low-risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities... |

$1M worth of hashing power? Hmm, might actually be able to run Crysis.
|
|
|

Ok I did some further tweaking and got mine stable at 442-443 MH/s. 1000MHz/350Mhz, 68C with fan @ 60% (ambient temp is around 80F), case cover is on. That's with 11.5. With 11.6 I lose about 80 MH/s.
