Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx

[horrorshow]

I emailed them with this a few weeks ago:

I'm running two radeon 5830's however I have found no way to successfully
modify voltage, clock or memory on both cards, just the first one...this
is an extreme disadvantage since in MSI afterburner at least I can do both
cards, but if I want to slightly modify voltage on both I have no way of
doing so. Is there anything I can do to change both cards voltage and
clocks using Trixx? This would help me a lot as I am able to overclock
this card highly, I just need to be able to do it on both of them instead
of just the first.

I went out and bought a crossfire connector but it still doesn't work on
both cards even with crossfire enabled.

Today, I got a response that some of you might find exciting:

We have launched the latest TriXX V4.0.2 that can solve below issue.

Just doin my jerb.

I love you. And I hate you. I just ate a big dinner after getting off of work and wanted to lay down and watch One Piece, but now I have to go overclock my rigs lol.

So it sounds like you can OC mutliple cards now, not just the 5830's. Can't wait to try it out.

[tysat]

I'm at work so can't test it out for myself...

But what mhash/s are you getting now, and with what settings?

[Clavulanic]

for my 5830's...
1030/200 @ 1.2v
1020/200 @ 1.206v
100/200 @ 1.2v

They were at about 300mhash and now they are about 320mhash

I was able to bump up a 5850 to 400mhash too

[muyoso]

1020mhz core
300mhz mem
1.163 v
325Mhash/s

My 5830 is a beast though.  Before you bump up the voltage on these monsters, try with the stock voltage.  Mine was able to overclock all the way to 1030mhz stable without changing voltage, but I wanted to keep it rock solid stable so I lowered it to 1020mhz.

This is great news thanks for sending that email. Love Trixx.

Thanks for this!!

I'd watch your power consumption when increasing the voltage. remember watts = v^2/r so it is exponential.

you can actually end up losing more than you gain in power costs per coin. If power isnt a concern(er cost) than go for it, otherwise I would get something like kill-a-watt and make sure it is actually worth it for you to over volt.


personally my card power requirement goes up 50% for the 10% gain in mh and that isnt worth it for me.

that's very important to note. many miners use inefficient OC settings. they think more hashes per sec = better.

Anyone tried this on a 6870 yet?  That card crashes when attempting to make changes with Afterburner in the special mode (used for underclocking memory to 300).

WHAT THE HELL AM I READING? TRIXX ON MULTIPLE CARDS?

ASFDKJHGALHKF:DASLFJKHPO

brb using Trixx on my 13 GPU's

EDIT - Working flawlessly so far, I am now able to set my memory clock on every card to 300mhz (afterburner would cause my rigs to crash when i did this with 5830's)

[bmgjet]

Still doesn't allow voltage adjustment on my sapphire 6850

[computerparts]

LOL seems there is some serious misconceptions on memory clock. FYI it only applies to idle, it goes back to stock at load.

I don't believe you are correct.  My testing would indicate otherwise.

Has anyone tested this on multiple 6870s? 

[phorensic]

zOMG the new Trixx works!!  I've been waiting for this day for weeks!  FWIW I had to disable the Synchronize cards in Multi-GPU config and use the drop-down menu to overvolt/overlock the cards independently.
