Help me overclock my 6990(Solved)

[Fiyasko]

I have an MSI 6990, When running at stock(830) on win732bit ATI stream 2.4 Cat 11.5 running lastest GUIminer with Poclbm/Phoenix
I get 334mhash/s/core

When overclocked Easily to 880
I get 336mhash/s/core

What the fuck?
VECTORS AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128
-v -w128 -f1

Also i noticed alot of talk about a "bios overclock switch set to ON" What is this? it seems neccesary to boost the card

From what I've read it's an actual switch on the card not some BIOS setting.

Also built into the card is a tiny physical dip switch that allows you to overclock and overvolt the core clock with a single flick, to 880MHz. Flicking that switch turns the 6990 into full, screaming dual HD 6970s, but at a hefty power cost. At full throttle, the overclocked HD 5990 used 528W—more power than we’ve ever seen from a single graphics card.

K so i flipped the switch and now GUI miner does not show my 6990 cores anymore, They're shown in MSIa and i can tweak with them, But GUIminer doesnt see them

Wtf?

You should consider trying another miner just for the purpose of narrowing down the problem.
Here's a list of mining software.

I'd try phoenix (Rising if you need a Front-End but I haven't tried that).

Loaded up Phoenix Rising 1.62 and it's detecting all my stuff. But, When i click Run. the box greys out and nothing else happens.
No gpu load or anything.
When using GUIminer(i did somemore fiddling) i get two 6990cores but my 5830 is completely missing, Altough the core are effectivly getting 37x mhash/s each now, my 5830 doesnt show up in GUIminer, so i cant use guiminer to mine,

So whats up with phoenix rising? why doesnt anything happen when i click run?

I don't know why rising isn't working, I only tried the normal command line version.
 It's very easy, just look into the phoenix thread. I think you need to start a new instance for every core (device=1 for the first one; device=2 for the second etc).

Okay now im at the point as to the mini black text overlay appears, However i get no load on my GPU's

Well it needs to connect to a pool so you have to give those information as parameters.

E.g.

phoenix.exe -u http://<user>:<password>@<url>:<port> -k poclbm DEVICE=0 BFI_INT VECTORS AGGRESSION=8

[Fiyasko]

Tried that in the cmd(wich i hate) and it tells me it cant find hte poclbm kernal *eye roll*

It's included in phoenix 1.50. Did you extract everything?

phoenix.exe and a directory called kernels with the subdirectories phatk and poclbm.

Grrr, it was cutting off my password length so that i was always typing the wrong password

Which problem does this solve now... Is everything working again?

[Fiyasko]

Yes, But for whatever dumbreason im not seeing Any performance increse....
VECTORS AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT WORKSIZE=128

[Fiyasko]

Erm how do i find Device ID's setting the #too 1 is my GPU1(second gpu on the 6990) #2 does nothing #3-10 just show the mini OSD but with no activity

[Fiyasko]

Okay now both 6990 cores are active any showing a yummy speed boost, still working on getting my 5830 to appear

WhooHOO!!!!!

Thankyou InstaGX!! all my problems are solved!

Running GUIminer with all three cards
37xmhash/sec/core 6990 OC->880
25xmhash/sec/core 5830 OC->830

Post your bitcoin addr!
