Yer I couldn't find reports of other 5970 users having any problems. Windows would get to the loading screen, and just as it completed it would divert off to the auto-recovery console: Which would always say it had repaired the problem reboot and go back and try again and again. Had to format in the end.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

I am also running a dual 5970 (XFX) card. Tried it in Ubuntu and could not get the miner working. Currently I am trying to get the performance up in Win7.

I am getting just under 300mhash per core right now. I had hoped for a much higher performance from this card. Not sure what is wrong. I am running the 10.10 drivers with Stream 2.4. I downgraded from the newest drivers hoping for a performance improvement but it's the same.

I was trying to disable crossfire since it says enabled. I called XFX tech support and a rep who seemed to be very knowledgeable told me that despite showing as enabled it actually isn't unless I start an Open GL or DX application. Anyone have thoughts as to wither I mite gain some performance if I can get it running in Linux?

At what clock speeds? Judging by that has rate I suspect 900 Mhz

Nice..I'd push my 5970 to that, but I got one of those internally exhausting coolers. 370 Mhash/sec is very good performance from it. Enjoy your mining!

Cheers.
