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.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

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.
