Wow, 6970s get nearly 400 MH/s straight out of the box?
Uh,420 m/h with 11.6 drivers & 930/1375 OC on GUIminer/win7...but consumes 375 watts.In crossfire 840 m/h uses 740 watts.Not using MSI AB. Temps are 72c @ 90% fan speed(very noisey). Stock got me 360 m/h. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150517BTW,while gaming @ the OC'ed clocks,I use 440 watts in crossfire(BF3),big diff compared to all out mining  I don't think they OC'ed the 7970 at all,so with some tweaking you might see 450-475 m/hash,just guessing though.As long as power consumption drops,it might not be too bad,BUT @ $500+,not a good bang for the buck  930/1375 OC != "straight out of the box". I didn't think 6970s could hit 395 MH/s out of the box, unless they (Tomshardware) did some tweaking to theirs just to make it benchmark slightly above a 5870. |

$100 by Christma... oh wait.

-(75%+/10%-) Max difficulty adjustments I think that's backwards  |

Who/what is "Ben's Outlet"??
Anyone have experience with them?
Friend of mine here at work sent me the link since he knows I'm into ATI cards. He said that he's bought products off BensOutlet.com before without problems, unless you count taking longer than expected to arrive as a real problem. |

Well,MSI Afterburner crashes my PC when playin BF3 or BC2,so I'm stuck using CCC or whatever it is.So no underclocks for my mem...........& the 6970 xfire is soooo sweet  As for CPU,I OC my FSB to 206,a little extra for the games But my gaming is more important than mining for now,unless we hit $8-10 per coin......or more  + gameing is anger management for me  Thanks for the info  After this last patch I noticed my frame rates dropping to like 1-2fps every now and then. Usually it's around 80-120. It happens often enough to be REALLY annoying, and sometimes the game will just lock up for me. It usually occurs when I turn really fast or scope-in -- basically whenever I encounter an enemy player, lol perfect timing! I did some searching and there's currently no fix for it, but some people have had success by updating their audio drivers (for those using Realtek onboard audio). Also disabling CCC's "AMD Optimized" tesselation seems to help as well. Unfortunately I've yet to find a fix that works on my system. |

Save yourself the trouble and just get a Corsair AX-series. Any of them.

Thanks, DC! Will try this out when I get home!

Really? Unlimited resources could not take down sc?
How is the view on your knees in front of rs?
I believe he said ” can” not ”can't”. Edit: nvm I missed the last sentence! |

Does anybody remember what Ix and I0 were trading for before the exchanges stopped for them?
|
|
|
|
mining, now all we need as a i0c and a ixc exchange.
We just need hashing power for there to be a level of security first. Give it some time. |
|
|
|
What kind of hashing speeds are people seeing with their Phenom IIs? I'm debating whether to upgrade to an x4 or x6 Black Edition of some sort. I'm way CPU bottlenecked in BF3 |
|
|
|
|
Wait.. so what's the verdict? Does the 7-series suck for hashing or not?

Read here in a couple of threads that coinotron is testing at this moment and doublec at the bitparking said he wants to do it so there is a couple of pools to keep eye on for it.
Bitparking has always been my alt-chain pool of choice... except for that weird period of time when I was getting significantly less coins than with other pools. I believe Smoothie was having the same problem too, but we never really came to a resolution on it. Coinotron is also a really awesome pool for the auto mining feature but that's going to be less of a factor now with MM with multiple chains at once. |

I'm running 11.12 but regressed to SDK 2.4 and I'm running at full speed on my dual GPU 5970. But with the latest and greatest SDK (whatever came with 11.12) I was down about 50 MH/s per core. If you want to try going back to an earlier SDK, you might want to try deleting the following files first:
C:\Windows\System32\amdocl64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\amdoclcl64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\OpenCL.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdocl.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdoclcl.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenCL.dll
For some reason these files aren't removed if you do a complete ATI uninstall (at least for me they weren't).

I'm now running 11.12 with SDK 2.4 and I'm experiencing lowered CPU use (only 60% now while mining) while retaining full performance from 11.11. I'm going to try going back to SDK 2.1 tonight when I get home and see if that will get me back to <5% CPU usage.
|

All I had to do was copy the 6 dlls mentioned in the other thread from 2.5 on top of the 2.6 ones. That fixed the performance drop and CPU usage went back to 100%. A lot less hassle.
Link to other thread plz? |
