7970 MAXIMUM KH/S ONLY 600???? *****1000 DOGECOIN REWARD****

[mirza92]

This is going on for too long, and you risk killing your card with unnapropriate BIOSes, not to speak about the peace of mind you're losing. People posting random stuff for the sake of a bounty doesn't help either. I'm going to say this for the last time: go and post on this thread: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12369.0 Donate him your 1000 Doge and post your ORIGINAL bios.

Wait and grab your modded bios, edit the voltage to, say, 1081 mV with: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/vbe7-vbios-editor-for-radeon-hd-7000-series-cards.189089/. Or better yet, look into drakoin's undervolting/power saving thread. Donate him some doge too.

Then go to the link mentioned above, pick sgminer and those .bin files on the top comment: http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1va8g2/ann_sgminer_400_release/

Copy those bins to the sgminer folder and either use on your config:

"thread-concurrency" : "24000",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"intensity": "20"

or

"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"intensity": "13"

TheStilt stopped his service. Any other alternative? Im sitting on vapor-x's r9 280x with a max of 560± hash

Flash this https://www.dropbox.com/s/glvnf25mmqo4r4x/SAPPHIRE_E20800_AGR.zip or this https://www.dropbox.com/s/ft3dfk93hpnsmia/100351-6GVXSR_AGR.zip

But before you need a compare your bios version with this two, because 7970 is very wide model name

Should I still flash it with that? Here is a screenshot of GPU-Z.

no, author should, you have 280x, which model?

TheStilt  made a dozens bioses that are can be flashed almost on any card

[Nthused]

Certain 7970 or 280x vapour-x models hash under the recommended Rate no matter what you do I read.

Maybe that's the situation you are in...

Sapphire vapor-x . the info is in the screenshot. I cant find any bios related to this card, maybe you can find it?

IMO, it cannot be too difficult to do a binary diff (using, e.g., http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=154713&t=0&i=1) on each of his three types of mods which were dependent upon the ram chip identifying program he used and which is posted at

http://bal3wolf.centelia.net/DRIVERS/TOOLS/Tahiti_GDDR5_Info.zip

It would be a nice thing to post the results of such a study, as the stilt oddly was secret about his mods.  Perhaps he is applying for patents or something?

I suspect/believe he's under NDA.

However the community can indeed work around. Not only a binary diff, but use AtomDis http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mhopf/AtomDis/ to dump bios info and figure out differences. I've been too busy/tired/lazy to do so myself.

Was anyone able to archive The Stilt's bio's mods from his 7970/280x post? All the files in his dropBox links have been deleted:
https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12369.0

My XFX 280x runs a crap hash rate 500-550kh/s regardless of the config parameters that I use (I've tried every config option that people recommended in his, this, and other threads).

I think my card gets throttled because hash rate jumps up and down in cgminer/cgwatcher.

virtualreality69, when exactly did the files get axed?  

virtualreality69, the throttling is something you need to fix on your own.  Do you use trixx?

Given what we know, and my post which Wipeout2097 further improved, it isn't a surprise.  I do wish I knew the motive behind this.  I don't need to know who is behind it.  Just a motive.  If anyone reading this knows, pm me and you'll get a very pathetic offer for some altcoins I've mined.  

Here are 3 options:

Option 1: pm the persons(s) who had requested your exact bios.  

Option 2: Actually, any bios will work if you use my proposed method and are willing to work a bit.  I could probably give you the one I snagged.  Do you want it?  

Option 3: Suck it up.  The same people who were able to get the dropbox files deleted might go after you too!!  Might want to not do it or do it on the down low.  If you have kids, this is your safest bet.  You think I'm kidding...

[virtualreality69]

I dont know exactly when he removed the files, but he was still posting about 2 weeks ago.

I have trixx installed, but dont use it for much.  What do you sugguest doing with Trixx to help fix throttling? My temps are fairly low (76-77C) and the fan rarely spins above 40%.

As for why it happened I dont know. Someone mentioned that he may have signed with a new company and has an NDA.

Thanks,

Throttling if any is due to boost and/or high temps.  Disable any boost and use trixx to set your fan at 100%.  Any temps above 70C are high IMO, expecially because the heat from the gpu heatsink prevents the ram from being cool.  

It is normal for some fluctuations.  Post a video of the cgminer or sgminer using option "-log 1".
