3x 5870 avg ~1050MH/s normal?

[ssateneth]

I'm actually struggling installing/downgrading to sdk 2.1 and 11.12 from 12.8 and sdk 2.7 under W7 x64. CGMiner 2.7.5 didn't like the sdk 2.1 and said that no devices was found/usable <opencl sdk not installed> even though 2 lines before it lists the sdk.

For some reason, standalone 2.1 SDK doesn't have certain things present to allow miner software to detect it. You need another SDK installed along side it (2.4 or higher). Use the "gpu-platform" command to select the appropriate 2.1 sdk platform once you have both sdk installed

what flags/intensity are you using?

Try setting -v -w 128 -I 9

Here is how I'm running these now.

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "http://gpumax.com:8332",
		"user" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
		"pass" : "abc123"
	},
	{
		"url" : "http://asdfsdgsasrh32",
		"user" : "gsdfgsafgawer",
		"pass" : "a46jsfrgtjxfgx1"
	}
]
,
"intensity" : "9,9,9",
"vectors" : "2,2,2",
"worksize" : "128,128,128",
"kernel" : "phatk,phatk,phatk",
"lookup-gap" : "0,0,0",
"thread-concurrency" : "0,0,0",

"gpu-powertune" : "0,0,0",

"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",

}

And here is the output :

Cards are
GPU 0 = Asus Reference 5870
GPU 1 = Asus EAH5870 (I use it also for main display and for gaming)
GPU 2 = Club Reference 5870

The best clocking one is EAH by all means and what comes as not a surprise the club one clocks the worst.

Those are really hot. You sure the mem is properly set to 300? What are your fan settings?

[fankih]

There was my config file. Mems are 180 / 190 / 180

Yep I see it now. But you still don't have any fan control set up in CGMiner. "--auto-fan --gpu-fan 25-75 --temp-target 70" will do you wonders.

[fankih]

I don't want to hear that noise because I'm living with this thing computer over here

I'd rather run them hotter because I will sell them anyway when asics comes..

[Turbor]

You get used to the fan "noise"
