I am quite new to the mining game and am wondering what I can do to increase this hash rate and if the temps are ok for this setup? Current card is amd 5770. I am looking to upgrade next week is the 7970 the best bet? Thanks!  Uploaded with ImageShack.us[edit] I also have no idea what flags are! I have seen people talking about them on here do they improve performance or what? |

It's more or less a set of secondary instructions to let the program be a little more streamlined.

Which drivers are you using? A 5770 should have the flags on -v -w 128 as said previously (that goes for all 5xxx cards). You'll struggle to get past 200Mh/s on that card but you should be able to get past 180  |

Yup, well within good temps. Your card is right around where it should be.

You could always try doing a custom fan curve in afterburner if you want to bring it down a bit, but a 5770 should survive like that for a while.

One other thing: If you're not going to be gaming too turn your memory clock way down. That'll help with heat+power use.

On my 5770 I'm getting around 215 Mhs @ 69ish degrees celcius. 80 may be normal for some but its high for my comfort zone. I overclock the engine to 935Mhz and underclock the memory to 250Mhz and run -k phatk -v 2 -w 256 in CGMiner 2.7.5. Sam |

Not bad, although I wouldn't recommend buying one just to mine with, you should see 650Mh/s from that at stock |

I think he means that our GPU's may be completely obsolete in 3 to 5 months so make sure you can use the card for something else when that happens. Like gaming. Right now you can't really buy something else that would be better for just mining. All you can do is pre order an ASIC. But that won't help you mine now. Sam |

Oh, you'll get more than one bitcoin off your 5770 by Christmas. I'm running a 5830 and 5770 at about 517Mhs and getting 6 to 7 bitcoins a month still. Sam |
