WTF,Did no one read my posts earlier in the thread,WTF ? The fact he didn't respond to the allegations should have said something and though me placing a message here was enough guess some didn't see it.

Don't know,but It is currently a botnet !!

The issue simply is not speculation there appears to be a botnet purposely devaluing bitcoin,I wouldn't be so quick to disperse the fact this or around sometime soon it is probably a great time to start either buying or thinking about it.

It is so bloody weird,when I asked for it at around $8 and that is what the price is at now.Might be a good time to have proper antivirus in place such as F-secure or any that can detect the bot.

*Looks @ the current 7.99 USD price per BTC over @ MtGoz*,Guess that Buick is only 3 ham sandwiches,lol !!!

Haha,keep telling yourself that !!!

Update your bios or read your mobo manual there might be a restriction concerning more than 2 gpus.

^Sorry,but it must be 500 @ 8 US as I am going to be buying in bulk within the confines of what I can afford.Customer is always right,lol.


I was also contacted by "Middleman" but couldn't really come to a conclusion on how to get things going payment wise and now "BoomGoesTheDynamite" but heard no reply yet.

Lol,I made this EXACT recommendation to the current user through messaging but he wanted to do a larger transaction instead by paying $100 @ a time.The user instead wanted me to pay first instead of sending me Bitcoin first while I pay for it it on scaled basis as trust would ensue on something a bit larger.I think its best to be cautious concerning this or use an escrow.

Made a deal with 'Ryanwebber',just waiting for approval of Dwolla and will be initiating payment first.

    I am no software coder but I get the impression from reading the overview of APP 2.5 that AMD is holding back a lot of possible mining potential w/ Radeons.XP support looks questionable in the future w/ regards to runtime updates but frequent updates to the runtime seem plausible.I found this most interesting and wondered if this could have a positive affect on mining ??

The compiler looks like it finally supports a variance of SSE3,SSE4 and AVX based CPUs should see a boost in speed when using the newest runtime.

Got in touch with the user "Skyliner" who claims to have 627 BTC...but haven't really been able to make any progress.Would be willing to do business with trusted members and serious offers only.

Still looking.Haven't heard from the last messenger.

I have basically the same GPU setup albeit replace the 6770 for a 5770 though,lol.You might try some of the settings here and use some of the modified files from here or Diapolo's Kernel if you can find it on the forum.

You might have to go back to the 11.6B drivers it looks like the 11.7 Whql aren't that stable for some if not most.Which obviously means back to using dummy plugs.

It's the Catalyst 11.7 Whql...The 11.6B should fix the issue.There is no need to uninstall the 2.5 APP runtime it is just the Video driver not the OpenCL variant.

Use a good third party thermal compound on your GPUs.It is possibly the cheapest way....but kinda precarious if you don't know where and how to put the goo on.

I have seen temps drop 8-15 C depending on the GPU.

Interesting,I get pretty much the same results but using 11.6b w/ Sdk 2.5.This seems to be the new stable and updated sweet spot.

I'm only guessing that AMD fuxored up an issue they were trying to fix.I'm guessing it was the video freeze bug that the 11.7 WHQL "fixed" that made the Cpu usage bug appeared for me as I never had the issue until the driver change.

This was going to be my original post:

"I have been trying to get two cards to work independently with some success but the mining rate doesn't seem nominal when both are on.It is a Radeon 5770[primary card] and Radeon 6950[dummy plug] using a Corsair TX650w PSU.I have read the boards about the 100% CPU issue but don't know if that is the issue or PSU limitations.



1.Using either the Juniper[Primary card] or Cayman[dummy plug] alone results in one of my CPU cores being fully stressed @ 25%......but the mining rates are normal @ ~195 for the Juniper and ~325 for the Cayman,stock.

2.When trying to use both cards at the same time however,the following is the result.
"
-------------------


Now,After doing some tinkering for the last few hours,I have now gotten this issue fully resolved by simply uninstalling the newest Catalyst 11.7 WHQL drivers.It is NOT the newest APP 2.5 runtime as some have mentioned that is still very stable with the Catalyst 11.6B drivers which I highly suggest under XP if you have a Multi-GPU configuration.The 100% CPU or core utilization PCBLM bug was that debilitating to hash rates and made me almost buy another PSU.

I guess the moral of the story is:"When in doubt try everything,before buying anything" and hopefully this helped some of you whom have similar issues.I also highly suggest getting a driver cleaner of sorts like Driver sweeper or Driver cleaner pro after every uninstall of Catalyst drivers to isolate the issue.

There aren't that many good quality 140 mm box fans but their still some very good and most of all quiet 120 MM ones like the Akasa Vipers or better yet the Enermax magma as they are much easier to clean.

VR-zone has a nice explanation I think of AMD's GCN architecture,the only real question is will it be present in the HD 7xxx series and what could this possibly increase the difficult for bitcoin and namecoins to absurd levels.

^^What he said,lol.
