I'm not exactly sure what you meant by that, but you are indeed right in the point you make at Nvidia sucking at crunching numbers. I'm running a brand new MSI GTX 560, OC to 1003 core, and I'm getting ~100 mhash, lol.
Maybe if enough people from a certain place I will not mention get a clue as to how ATI cards are making great headway into the bitcoin project, possibly there would be less "hurr no drivers" arguments. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy my housefires and flaming 1.7 wood screws. I made my bed and I'll sleep soundly enough in it.
Told one of my friends about bitcoin, and the sheer difference between ATI and Nvidia and the main thing they market their products with. ATI: Eyeinfinity, Number crunching, OC, Hardware OC modifications, Cheaper Nvidia: Nvidia 3D, Stabler , "Quality", Better drivers, More OC with hacked drivers Tried to convience him to buy ATI and start number crunching. He said, no. Your comparision is flawed. ATI has 3D too, ATI is not always cheaper, Nvidida is DEFINITIVELY not stabler nor does it has ANY nor more "quality" than ATI at all, "better drivers" is not truie anymore, ATI's drivers are very good now, ATi has unlocked shaders etc with hacked BIOS for 6950 which completely beats the ":More OC with hacked drivers" you give Nvidia, Nvidia actually Overclocks better than ATI actually your comparison is VERY flawed  - ATI is not always cheaper What? In terms of price/performance, it is. Unless you twist it and say "LOL THE 6970 IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE 460" (lol). The 5970 doesn't count as it is not manufactured anymore. - ATI's drivers are very good now SC2 cursor problem. - ATi has unlocked shaders etc with hacked BIOS for 6950 which completely beats the ":More OC with hacked drivers" you give Nvidia What? You're comparing apples to oranges here... 1. ATI is not always cheaper... notable are the GTX 460 and GTX 560. Pretty cheap and beat ATI price/performance a lot of times. We are talking about gaming here not crunching. Reme,ber before the 6XXX came out? How the GTX 460 as a better buy especially in SLI? 2. If you are talking about the frozen mouse thing, all you gotta do is set windows font size to default.Else idk what the problem is as I don't have any problems with starcraft II 3. Well then how about the BIOS editor for ATI that can also help for the OCing... one way or another, these don't make much of a difference and shouldn't change your mind on either going NV or ATI 1. GTX 460: Yes, that's another exception. But remember, it was a mid-end card. GTX 560: see 6950. Overall, ATi still holds the "cheaper" world view. 2. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&biw=972&bih=1595&q=corrupted+starcraft+ati&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=3.  I don't quite understand what you're saying here. 3. |

i7-950 - no OC. 2x 5970 with heavy OC. the rest is minimal. probably only wc pump matters - 18W.
1000W is the minimum you can get, and YOU NEED A QUALITY ONE. a 5970 Heavy OCed = 450~460W (normal POC is 400W) or so. CPU at full load is 130W or wtv... Right there is over 1000W, than include HDD, DVD-RW, pump etc, it is WAY over 1000W. Even at 10% CPU usage, you are basically maxing your PSU 24/7 I'd go with 1200W if you want to OC your 5970s. At stock,you have to expect at least 350W full load each 5970... You can pull it off with normal OCs, but heavy OCs are pushing it Crossfires do not scale like that -- "A second card requires you to add another 294 Watts." |

Oops, PPUSD/DWUSD are fine.

As title states. Selling 280 BTC. Any offers :3?

># Value of a BTC will always be related to the cost of power to produce it, since that's directly related to difficulty, which in turn is related to Bitcoin's popularity
that is a very wrong assumption; just take a look at your numbers

Yeah, I guess I'll go unlock it soon. |
|
|
|

Yeah, I should at least be getting similar hashrates to the 5870... Or should I?

Anyone have any experience in mining with 6950s?
I'm only getting 280m khash/s.
start poclbm.exe --user=x --pass=x --host=mining.bitcoin.cz --port=8332 -d 1 -v -w 128 -f 5

Hello, I currently have 2x6950 in crossfire, i7 2600k, 11.1a drivers, ATi Stream 2.3. When I try to run it with the following parems: poclbm.exe --user=x --pass=y --host=http://mining.bitcoin.cz:8332 -d 0 - Cayman
[1] Cayman
[2] Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
It gives me this error:
InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: ''
Unexpected error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "BitcoinMiner.pyc", line 171, in mine
File "BitcoinMiner.pyc", line 157, in getwork

Any help? Thanks!
Hi, get rid of " http://:8332" from the host line, and put the port number after the "--port=" switch. Thank you so much! Anyone got 6950/6970 w/ any recommended settings? Any results? |
