Why low hash rate with HD 5830?

[Maniac479]

The point here is that I'm wondering if anyone knows why the 9800 GT card is freezing up the system when I use it to mine.

I managed to add a 1 gigabyte memory stick and it's still freezing up, just not as fast. It's annoying because before it freezes it gives me another 50Mhash/s. It would be nice if it ran stable but no such luck.

Using guiminer... yadda yadda yadda. My main machine with the 5830 is still reliably churning out the bitcoin... yay

I thought hey- maybe if I could figure out how to mine using Ubuntu maybe that would work, but it turns out mining in Ubuntu is a pain in the arse because there's no gui. I need gui. Command lines freak me out.

UPDATE: Hmmm... I tried rcpminer -cuda  and it hasn't frozen for like 15 minutes. But I can't find what flags to use to optimize the hash rate. On my main machine with the 5830 I use -v -w 128 and it helped. Maybe someone knows the proper flags for rcpminer?

What I did was I used afterburner on the 9800 and lowered the memory clock and also increased the fan speed and it seems to have helped.

That's an Nvidia card which are not good for bitcoin mining.  The Mining Hardware Comparison chart may have some info for optimizing that card.

Wow dude... Click the card in, Clickin the power pins, Screw it down, Done.

wow dude... thanks for your help. not.

I get it. You've come up with a new way to make bitcoins! Instead of someone tipping you when you're helpful, you're guessing people will give you bitcoins in exchange for not giving them s#%t. Seems as plausible as some of the other schemes around here.

Geeze, Sue me for skipping the bottom half about a GT 9800 inside a 5830 hashrate thread.. Gosh..
