I ordered 2 of them, shipping from Memphis. Should have them Sat.
What driver/cgminer settings on these for Bitcoin mining? I use 11.11 for my other 6000-series cards and 13.4 for the 7000's.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

I'm using 13.4 with my old 5870 and getting ~420khash/s with a smallish OC. Settings for cgminer is --thread-concurrency 8000 -I17 -g1 -w256. Could probably turn up intensity if you're not using it for displaying video on a monitor. |
If I was able to help you out, please consider donating. Any amount is greatly appreciated!  LTC LYxUfCXVHVkBv2S8H21NK6UnFnXmNaVqv6 XRP rHAYiZ3f7QGLa4qsVPjLsVEmwUQ9nSMq86 |

I don't think anyone actually knows for sure. I have 3 coming (tracking number says on Monday). I will post once I have proof whether they are or are not 5870 and produce over 6870 hashes. |

I only ordered one. It will be here Monday. In setting up a machine in anticipation of this thing turning up, has anybody used this (or any 5870) in a Linux based machine, and if so, what software and settings did you use for mining?
I really only use Linux for servers and basic workstations. Never for anything that required anything more than onboard graphics. Are drivers easy to get and install for this card?

I strictly run Ubuntu 12.04 for my miners. On my 5870s I seem to get crap performance with Reaper(340 KH/s per core) and CGMiner is completely unusable(tons of HW errors). For comparison my HD 7xxx cards have been a dream with CGMiner. You can download built binaries for CGminer, Reaper you'll have to build from source. Driver installation is easy but removing the drivers seems flawed so I just re-image the OS to test driver versions. |

So what do you use, if Reaper and CG miner are garbage?
I'm a fan of Ubuntu 12.04 personally, and that's the build I'd probably use, so I'd probably run something similar to whatever you're doing, but with only one card. I'd really prefer to avoid buying another license for Windows.
Re-imaging is easy, since I have DRBL set up.
