ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB - mhash/s?

[platorin]

Can I guys have your feedback on MSI Radeon HD6950 2048MB DDR5? Any idea what mhash/s does it have?

[deslok]

Questoins of that nature are explained here, please make note of what clock rates people ran their cards at to reach the listed speeds and any flags used

Well. overclocked on cgminer mine does around 400mh.

Thats shader unlocked and @ 900mhz for the core, mem @ 325mhz.

425m/h here. 945/320

my 6970 does ~ 390 Mhash at stock.... you should get close to that if it's unlocked, even without much of an OC.... or just OC it as is and it will still perform quite nicely.

Always remember that not all silicon is made equal. I had an unlocked 6950 2GB, and I got about 365MHash/sec at stock, I couldn't overclock it more than about 40MHz before it glitched out, and even at stock the fan would run about 70% and sounded like a damn jet engine turbine. Others I'm sure have had better experiences, but it serves as a reminder that just because someone else got XXX @ YYY, don't think that necessarily will happen to you too. (I had an HIS if you were wondering)

I tried reaching those clocks but my system froze.I wonder if this has to do with my PSU not being able to deliver the amps properly? Because on mine,it says 36A can be drawn from the 12V line max and my card (I think) exceeds this when heavily OC'd,Overvolted and shader unlocked.Watts are not a problem here,just the amps.I found somewhere that my Radeon HD6950 needs 34A minimum,plus a 'green' HDD is on that rail also (I don't know if it's running when this happens) as my win7 is on SSD (uses 5V rail not 12V)

How important are amps for a PSU to run a GPU properly (as PSUs that don't deliver enough power tend to crash the system afaics)?

Sorry for being off-topic but I need the help in finding out what's responsible for the freezing.I only reply here to let the poster (not OP) know that I got the same results as him when using his settings but it then crashed my system.

I have 6 xfx 6950's.   I clock them at 875/350  if I go over 880 they become unstable. I get about 370 Mhash each

Just 2 posts  above your post is my post pointing out how not all cards are equal. Some overclock better than others. There is absolutely no way your single card can pull more than 36Amps, W=V*A, your card runs off the 12V line, so assuming you're pulling maybe 200W for your card (its probably less) that'd be 16.7A.

Your card just isn't up to snuff most likely.

MSI reference 6950, shaders unlocked, using up2date miner (guiminer), gets me about 436-439 mh/s per card. I run two of them.
core voltage - 1200
core clock - 980
mem clock - 700
fan speed - 75%
50-53 degrees celsius. They are sitting in front of a 5 ton portable moving cool at work in the data center.
I think I could push them a bit further but prefer rock solid stability.

-v -w 128 -f 2

these cards were worth every penny.. which was on sale.. and one had a rebate from MSI. One per household :-(
I should have read that fine print ;-)

I'm pulling ~320 with my 2 6950's.

MSI Twin Frozr II OC 6950 unlocked shaders, 900 core, 500 mem, 400mh/s, phoenix 1.6.2

Have tried moving voltage up but I can't cool it... case wasn't built for this unfortunately.

6950 DCUIIs on crossfire, OC'ed to 880, 670mh/s max, wont go over that as I dont want to fry them and my PSU cannot handle the extra voltage..

1st gen 2gb sapphire 6950, shader unlocked,

- 360mh at 840mhz (max CCC overclock)
- 400mh at 900mhz (with msi afterburner).

The latter requires bumping up the voltage for it to remain stable. With the warm summer I've opted to go without that, since it raises temps by some +10c.

 1gb, not flashed, xfx xxx edition 6950 - 380.2 mh/s undervolted to 1.0 920/110

that one is way more suited to gaming than alternatives.  5830's are starting to be sold a lot, especially Sapphire Extreme ones.  I have an extreme and non extreme sapphire version of the 5830 and one's at 303MH/s average and the extreme got OCed stable to 329MH/s average.  Considering the power they use and the fact that they're like $125 right now, that'd be the one to go with.  But if you eventually want to game on whatever card you're mining with, that's another story.
