2052 Mhashes (2 5970 + 1 5850):   |

For $200, I personally would not even consider this card. It might cool pretty well with good airflow across the heat sink. Also, it looks pretty wide, so good luck trying to fit this with other cards in a case.
I'm not a novice and didn't ask for a lecture on price, size etc... I posted a specific question regarding temps when mining full blast. |

The highest I've got was 73°C with about 30 room temp (large south faced window). Right now it's at 71 along with pwm powered down case fan  Hashrate lies between 210-220. not bad at all! maybe someone who has this 6850 from first post can share they experience too... |

I have a fanless 5770 the "Silent Cell" variety. Use it in my Desktop.
Clocks around 950 mhz stable.
I thought of getting one of these, but if you can find a the 5770 or 6770 (they look the same) well they are cheaper and give almost the same hashrate along with better mhash/j.
what's the temp like at max sustained hashing rate? |

I had emailed PowerColor back and forth a few times regarding mem. underclocking on 68/9xx and they told me that AMD has put a restriction on how much the mem. clock can be lowered. "to preserve itegrity of operations blah blah blah"
I had another post with a bunch of info on flashing a 6870 x2 card.
Basically, it appears that if you flash the BIOS, the windows drivers will not work. There are numerous reports that under linux it operates "fine" after a BIOS flash...

Do you have any data to back up your conclusion?
I'm getting sick of your unscientifically unrobust non-arguements up in here!  |

imo we are pretty much done in terms of difficulty drop -> the next adjustment will go up again.
Reason being those who dropped out because of price did already.
We are not in no matter what territory yet but for a significant outflow of miners there would have to happen more than a price stagnation within the trendline. If there were another scandal (if the recent mtgox hack turns out to be severe, another bruce wanger incident or something) people would loose confidence.
Do you have any data to back up your conclusion? Each difficulty decrease was lower in magnitude than the last one both in absolute and relative magnitudes. The next one would be smaller than the network variance over the expected time period. Sorry that is all I can give you, but I think it is significant enough to draw a conclusion. Can you type up some numbers and post here to show this? |

the algorithm is designed to "smooth" things out in the long run. time is key here.
this is by design.
also, if the difficulty was to drop much faster, then you would also end up with an increase just as fast. presumably from all those who would get right back in with lower difficulty.
so then difficulty would jump alot quickly.
in the end, you'd have a net gain of what?

With all the 5970 cards I hope folks find this info useful and share their experiences. I am running a total of 5x5970 in two mining systems under Windows 7 and GUIMiner.
Why would anyone run Windows on dedicated rigs  Can your log in remotely when something needs restarting ? because it works fine. And you have actually bought a Windoze license for your dedicated miner ? That's neat. Next time you feel overburdened by cash, let me know, I'm sure I can help out  You are a clueless soul. Oooooh, aaaaaah. You mean you didn't pay for the license. I get it now. Thanks for helping with my cluelessness. Ooooo aaaah all you want... I catch your stupid sarcasm... But, back to it... I didn't have to pay for licenses. I have free legitimate access to MSFT products. Provided by MSFT. that includes data center editions too. so yeah, this works well for me. |

I'd move on over to linuxcoin if I could get the damn wifi drivers to work, the newest drivers from the website for the usb dongle have to be compiled (like most *nix drivers) but the dependancies are what used to be included in the core, but were removed for a few versions back and the version of linuxcoin is newer than that point, so missing a large portion of includes. :| No point in switching if it works better, looks better, but can't connect to the bitcoin to get work!
that's the problem with linux, if you don't know it very well, you are bound to spend alot of time learning and setting stuff up... in that time, you could be doing something else. there should be no difference for mining... whatever OS you know best, use that. |

Speaking of dummy plugs, heres something a bit dummy about the dummy plugs. Apparantly somehow there's still a way it's detecting not having monitor.
I used the user accounts panel to set up automatic login for windows. When I restart the computer though, the fans are still throttled down infinately. UNTIL I log in with remote desktop, then it signs in automatically to the profile specified and boots like normal. For some reason the auto login doesn't trigger until a screen is attached even with dummies on both cards D:!!!
Dummy plugs are only needed on windoze. And then, there's a rumour that the latest ATI drivers remove the need for them as well. dummy plugs have not been needed for quite some time already |

either you have not thought this out very well or you are trying to pull a fast one here...
Which is it?

Does anyone have any info on them?

PS The sooner oil is depleted the better. We could finally take on new energy sources with full force.
i would love nothing more, id have like a brain orgy in an instant the second i realized that came to fruition. let's see if our wishes come true by the end of the month: http://freeenergytruth.blogspot.com/in a few weeks we'll find out if this is a hoax or not. |

I have a bitcoin rig hooked up to a weakly received wireless connection. The clients will say "connection problem" and it will sit there for a 1-3 seconds before it hooks up again and keeps mining. Is this a problem? Is it going to slow down my mining? If it does or will negatively affect then I will hook it up to a wired line.
spend $20 and buy a high gain usb wifi card. the connection issue are absolutely a problem. especially on very short rounds. |
