Cannot get 5830 above ~225 mhash/sec

[wildboy211]

Im using "-v -w 256" and i have every stock ATM and running Win7 64-bit w/ Guiminer OpenCL phatk2.2 mod on PCI-E x16, according to this:

I should get at least 244. Phoenix went even slower < 200 mhash/sec. Any ideas, anyone?

What are the temperatures

[wildboy211]

Downloading MSI Afterburner to get temps and to overclock...

[deslok]

Go with trixx instead

Sorry, already got Afterburner - temp is Min.66 Max.79

What driver version are you using

[wildboy211]

7.14.10.0855 - i got it to ~270 mhash but it froze up when i overclocked the core to 900Mhz and underclocked the memory to 500mhz and changed workload to 64 - it seems to run smooth on anything under 840/500 with a 64 workload and im getting ~246 mhash - and its temp is around 71°

Try uninstalling and reinstalling your drivers.

Should i be getting more than what im getting right now?

5830's hit 300mh @~1000mhz at 840 something in the range of 240-250 would be expected depending on a handful of things including your memory speed. you should be able to turn the memory speed down to 300mhz and i have yet to own a sapphire 58xx card i couldn't run at 1000mhz with proper cooling.

You should be able to underclock to 300. When I had problems with my 5850's (lowest they could go was 500 mem) I reinstalled with the newest drivers and it fixed the majority of my problems. I also use trixx I found that I had stability problems with afterburner.

with trixx my settings are 975core/350mem @ 70c with 320mh/s flags i use are -v -w256 -f0 best of luck dude
problem might be that your psu isnt powerful enuf how many watts are you running and how many cards

Blah blah blah...tried your setting and it crashed my computer...

[deslok]

your setting as in dubomatic i assume since i never gave you a settting.

[wildboy211]

Now that i got it to "normal" settings, my computer seems to run smoother than with Afterburner and at higher clock speeds...thanks for the info on Trixx...whats the hottest my GPU should run at?

your setting as in dubomatic i assume since i never gave you a settting.

Yes, dubomatics settings...

How does the card respond at 900 core 300 memory with no voltage changes

I got 30+ mhash (~280 mhash) by using this @ 860/300 with "-k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=8 FASTLOOP=false WORKSIZE=256":

And everything seems to be running smoothly. If i try to go over 880 it doesnt like to do much else...and this is my main computer, not a rig.
