5830's, what mh/s are you getting?

[pandemic]

I just picked up two XFX 5830's. One is dead and has to be RMAed. The other has some issues but is still able to mine. It'll also have to be RMAed but I'm mining it till then.

I'm getting 272mh/s.

I'm running phoenix 1.5 with AOCLBF 1.74. Worksize = 128

Still working on tweeking this. Just got 7.6% rejection with these settings.

I had one that is running by itself @ 1050 doing 325mh.

In my 3x5830 rig, all 3 are doing a little over 300.  In my 4x 5830, I don't have any of the cards flashed or anything and at the highest default oc value w\ afterburn ( 875 ) they're doing around 275ea.

Using the newest 7-1-2011 release of guiminer on all, which provided a nice little Mh boost to all of my rigs.

[jrussell]

wow im only getting 256Mhash/s out of my 5830....how do I up it? I have overclocked witht the AMD overdrive and have -v -w128 as and extra flag on the older guiminer....new one is downloading now, running at around 48 C

[airdata]

I generally use -v -w128 -f15 for flags.

With a single card, you can use sapphire trixx to overclock.  With multiple cards, you can try doing the afterburner init file edit to allow more overclocking, or you can flash the cards.

I had some of mine flashed to 980/300 and I was getting alot of stale shares so I just wanted to test out different stuff.. I reflashed to stock and then I flashed again and made it so that I could go beyond 875 on the cards.  Now I just use afterburner to oc the cards at boot to ~980 i think.   This yields a little over 300mh w\ the new guiminer.

ok cool thanks!

what do I add to the config file to overclock to more than 875?

~256mhash/s in my server with 2x 5830s, each at 875/1000

I've tried futzing around with AMDOverdriveCtrl but ran into stability issues with even minor tweaks.. the server they live in is the PXE host for my other miners so downtime is bad.  They also run a bit warm, ~80C, but not outside my comfort zone.

Once i get a new board to throw these in I'll be pushing them closer to 300, but stability is a necessity at the moment.

I've had really poor luck with phoenix in linux on these cards - vectors, bfi_int and worksize 128 drops me down to ~205mhash!

Tips for improving hashrate without more gpu OC in linux appreciated

I just changed the kernel.cl file that boosts about 3% mh/s. I'm now getting 278-279mh/s. Strange thing is I'm still getting a lot of rejected shares. I have vectors, HD5XXX, fastloop, and phatk checked in AOCLBF. I'm also using 128 worksize, 13 aggression. I'll try dropping aggression for a while.

[noobboon]

getting 300Mhz @ 940Mhz/300Mhz

Not going to push up the core clock since running @ 1000Mhz probably shorten the life of the card.

[pandemic]

what's everyone's rejection rate?

[xtoro]

595Mh/s with 2 cards crossfired

GPU@965Mhz
Mem@320Mhz

Temps between 67-71*C

One card is Sapphire 5830 Xtreme
Other card is ASUS EAH5830 DirectCU  <-- This one overclocks MUCH higher and stays much cooler

Flags used : -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=7

Rejection of about 1-1.2%

guiminer Phoenix on a Sapphire 5830 @ 965/1000 getting ~299 Mhash/s. -k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=11 FASTLOOP=false

[CydeWeys]

4x5830, each at 975/335, using latest Phoenix and phatk kernel, getting about 311 MHash/s per card.  I tried pushing up to 985/335, but something crashed overnight and I lost some hours of mining (and had to reboot in the morning).  The system has been running stable at 975/335 for days though, so that seems achievable with my setup.  Temps on the hottest card are around 66-68 degC (yay open case with a box fan).

how are you guys getting past 900mhz overclock? My CCC only goes to 900. I heard something about using a tool from MSI to get into the 950 range but also heard that it only helps a tiny bit.

Also, these XFX cards of mine have lifetime warranty. What can I/can I not do to OC to the max but still keep that warranty. I know I can't flash the card BIOS, for example.

How are you a full member and not familiar with MSI Afterburner?

There are plenty of posts, including an official MSI Afterburner guide, in these forums.  Easy to find.

I actually found a way to OC past 900 in AOCLBF. I'm currently getting 296-299MH/S at 965mhz.

edit:down to 950mhz because I'm having some stability issues.

[Mousepotato]

318MH/s OC'd at 1020/355MHz.  Aggression=12 Worksize=256 phatk and some other settings that I can't remember.

I can push it to 1050/355MHz and hit a solid 325-327MH/s but it sometimes locks after a few hours, which to me isn't worth the 7-9 extra MH/s.

I've got XFX. I heard that sapphire was easier to overclock but I just don't understand why.

I went XFX just for their lifetime warranty. I figured as a miner, that'd be good to have. 20mh/s less is alright by me, I suppose.

I did some more tuning with MSI AB on each card individually instead of the "synchronize like gpus" setting. I found that I only have 1 card that won't go below 450 memory without crashing. The other 2 will easily go down to 300. The core clock on the 3 has been adjusted to 1000mhz.

what? my core is unstable over 960~

what are you doing?

Try upping your voltage a smidge. Just keep an eye on the temps

I got one of those "Xtreme" edition Sapphire 5830s from NewEgg (one of the $109.99 dealies).  I think in order for them to be "Xtreme" they have to have really good quality cores to handle the slightly higher clock rate.  As a corollary this means they can be pushed to slightly higher OC levels as well.  At least I *think* that's what "Xtreme" means.  Or it could just all be marketing hype.

Edit: Oh yeah, what Xtoro said too.  I'm using AMD GPU Clock Tool to set the MHz, and it automatically pegs the voltage at 1.025 or something like that.  I have no control over the voltage with that tool.

[deslok]

try saphire trixx i had good results at 1025mhz with that same card(and 300mhz memory)

[deslok]

what are the other settings at that 965 mem/volt what about the temperature?

[Mousepotato]

i have the xtreme version and using sapphire trixx but it artifacts and just generally crashes above 965

It's probably just luck of the draw.  I have a couple 5870s that are the polar opposites of each other when it comes to OC'ing.  One gets fussy at anything over 980.  The other one can chill at 1050 all day long.

[pandemic]

Using Trixx or MSI afterburner, are there any risks that could void a warranty? Any way for a GPU mfg to check the previous settings or anything on the physical card itself?

[pandemic]

Just got this updated kernel (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25860.140)
Lowered my clock to 958mhz and I went from 304mh/s to 307mh/s.

Small increase but an increase nevertheless.

Doing 320 in all 3 of my sapphires. Trixx now allows voltage adjustment on multi card setups

The only thing that makes the Sapphire "Xtreme" is that it has a better cooling system and some voltage tweaks that will let you overclock with better stability.  Other than that, everything is EXACTLY the same as the non-Xtreme version.  Same hardware, same clock speeds etc

I wouldn't go for the Sapphire Xtreme (again)... I have one, and my ASUS DirectCU can clock MUCH better, and stay much cooler than the Sapphire Xtreme. 

Also, the ASUS has a much quieter fan than the Sapphire to the point where I'm not exaggerating when I say that my brand new Sapphire is twice as loud as my 10 month old ASUS.

And no, the heat isn't because it's above the ASUS because I swapped them and was getting the same high temps.

Edit: Oh yeah, what Xtoro said too.  I'm using AMD GPU Clock Tool to set the MHz, and it automatically pegs the voltage at 1.025 or something like that.  I have no control over the voltage with that tool.

Try using TRIXX, works for me on both cards quite well.

I'm currently running 990/300 with 1163mV (stock) and getting 316mh/s.

Still need to modify the kernel to get a few more out of it but I'm going to guess at this point I'll hit 320mh/s no problem and may even be able to go higher.

[mike678]

I plan to make an attempt for the 5830 record later. Right not they get around 335 for 1030/350 on stock voltage. I wonder how high I can push it

[st4rdust]

331Mh/s @ 1025mhz GPU, 360mhz mem, 1180 voltage. Make sure your phatk kernel is up to date because each update made to phatk adds a significant performance boost to your hash rate!

I wonder how high I can push it

Good luck, and also be careful! Those sound an awful lot like famous last words!

[mike678]

Yea I will I think the highest any one posted was 345 back in july. That was 1080 mhz / 380. I bet you could easily get 350 now if you tried but I definitely wouldn't keep it that high for an extended period.

[pandemic]

I'm at 1040/300 and getting 330mh/s. I can still do a few kernel upgrades and I think I can keep increasing the freq.
