still upset my card is broke though =*( meh, hope it lasts a while like this at least.
Will post results in about 2 hrs.

Think I found a way to do it, first off I applied the disable ULPS patch to the registry and right above that setting was one for enableautocrossfirelink which was default to 1. I set all entries of that to 0 and now gpu-z shows crossfire status disabled.
Now, hope it works properly. Will test out gaming on one gpu and mining on the other when I get home.

I wouldnt think so - which is why Im not a fan of this option if I wish to continue mining on 2nd gpu =(

Its crossfired in the same sense really. Its just that there is a PCIe bridge on the board itself that links the 2 GPU's.
Crossfire is not enabled inherently in 2D mode or windowed 3D. Its only fullscreen 3D it kicks in...which in turn means its still a software thing. Which means it should somehow be able to be disabled =)
The methods I outlined above are some ways to do it.

You still got these? Thanks

Well, disabling the appropriate GPU in device manager .. obviously.
Also using a registry hack to disable catalyst AI supposedly disables crossfire
And in the new drivers there is the disable option in the crossfireX application settings - but that one confuses, dont know if it only applies to profiles or across the board when set to disable.
Im sure another program like ATT could do it too but tryin to stay away from running so many damn tray programs lol

I got that part, but I need to disable crossfire as well =)

Can't really tell you much about the memory issues but from what I've read it doesn't seem like you can tell it to render games on GPU1 while mining on GPU2.
Would be really nice if that were possible though. I mean, you can tell GPU2 to disable in CGMiner but I don't know of a way to tell games to rely only on GPU1.
Disabling crossfire will force games onto GPU1...just need to find an easy way to do that =P Anywho, looks like Im screwed as far as a warranty too so will have to figure this out, the way it is. |

Yeahp, I double checked clocks against GPU-z. It even fails the "test custom clocks" in CCC .. when set to default clocks. I tried lowering RAM to like 500mhz and it still fails that test. This plain sucks.
I wonder if there is a way to disable crossfire but not disable 2nd GPU in control panel. That way I can mine on 2nd GPU and game on the 1st one at the same time.

I have had this 5970 for about 1.5 months.
Ive been mining w/ it at 805/175 no voltage changes, stock bios. Both cores working great, putting out same mhash.
I tried gaming on it when I first got the card and it was awesome, gamed for less than a week then let it do 24/7 mining.
I just tried gaming on it again and there is massive screen distortion / texture corruption / polygon tearing when running full screen games. When running windowed(xfire disabled) its fine. So, I am pretty sure the memory has gone to shit on the 2nd GPU.
Im wonderin if mining would have been related to killing the mem .. perhaps to low of a clk speed on RAM or something. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
I surely hope I can RMA it. Its a shame for such a nice card to get bad RAM all the sudden =(
If I cant RMA, will try n just disable 2nd GPU in device manager for when I want to game.
Works great for mining though.
This just really sucks.

Yeah, I am working on it now... share submittal will be down for a few minutes until I fix it.
looks fixed, yay! let hope dont happen next block =P |
|
|
|

Well, whatever happened something broke... REALLY BAD:
11:26:35 4407589 4.07% 1/120 6600 0.00000099(earnings) =( 0.00000000
Plz fix, any way to get back what I should have been rewarded?

Inaba, did you get around to modifyin the code so it doesnt hang up as much when a block is found? Because, I still get massive pool down errors and rejects up to 4mins of a new round start =(

Anyone think this would affect a 5970?
I currently mine 810mhz / 190mhz and see about 371mh/s / GPU
SDK 2.5 , 11.12, vista 32, cgminer, phatk, w 256, v 2, intensity 9
5970==2xunderclocked 5870 So yes. That said, you already get 458 MHash per Gigahertz. Thats pretty much the same I got (~461), or close enough to ignore. Unless SDK 2.1 would provide a non trivial boost, Id stick with what you have. Cool thanks, I wont bother w/ older SDK cuz it has the CPU bug. |

Ok, so I uninstalled AMD SDK 2.6 runtime and installed 2.5
Using 2.2.4 and latest phatk kernel (deleted previous bins) -w 256 and -w 128 are bout the same
Compared to cgminer 2.2.1 and phatk kernel from november w/ AMD SDK 2.6 its performance is on avg 1mh/s slower!
So the new kernel is poopy since it seems to suck when using SDK 2.6. Whereas the kernel from november works just fine w/ 2.6

Something is horribly wrong with cgminer 2.2.4 for me. It seems the newest kernel for phatk sucks monkey balls on my 5970. on cgminer 2.2.1 and kernel from last year (not sure which one) it was 359mh/s @ 805mhz / 109mhz
With the new phatk kernel as of this year, it gets around 300mh/s !!
any idea why?
Im running 11.12 drivers and 2.6sdk I believe.
Its on vista 32 ultimate.
Any idea?!
So, Ive stuck w/ cgminer 2.2.1 cuz it uses last years phatk kernel.

I tried creating the pool for http://eclipsemc.com and it says error 302 : found. I also use my current credentials for loggin into EMC in password and username...but it just doesnt work. I dont get it lol |
|
|
|

Im so confused on how this is supposed to work, logged in and add worker, add pool, purchase shares...does anything work yet?
Is there a howto anywhere?
