Just tested two 5870 on Ubuntu with cgminer and crossfire (can't detect two GPU without using crossfire), but I am only having about 600 mhash/s .  Wonder what is the best commands for it to maximize the hashes?

Change the intensity to 9 or so. Never used crossfire. I was able to use my second card without a VGA dummy plug in Win7. But using one is better for me. Now i can change the settings the way i want. That was not possible before.

Prob is without cross fire, my cgminer can only recognize 1 GPU using Ubuntu Linux, will Windows recognize two without cross fire?

600MH? Thats weird. Its too much a single card and not enough for two.
And you shouldnt have to use crossfire

I think 600 MH/s is two in crossfire

You can stick with cgminer in windows. Works well.

1. Disable crossfire and remove the plug
2. Run as root or sudo "aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all"
3. reboot
4. In a new terminal run "export DISPLAY=:0"
5. Then run "cgminer --gpu-memclock 300 --gpu-fan 100 --gpu-engine 900 --gpu-vddc 1.1625 -o http://xxx.xxx -u user -p pass -I 9"

That should get you over 400mh per card as a baseline.  Hit "G" to confirm clocks and voltage.  If it's stable, adjust the gpu-engine up by 5-10 mhz at a time (or voltage down, fan, etc) until you are happy with temp and perf.  You may add --cpu-threads 1 if you have the max cpu bug to isolate to a core.

Try to get it working at default gpu clock and voltage before tinkering with those.

As coretechs said "aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all" is probably what was missing. It sounds like you only had one GPU configured and the second is limping along purely by being attached by crossfire. You shouldn't need crossfire.

11.04 Tongue
See my sig
(and don't update it to 11.10 - not needed and not enough space if you use a USB to run updates)
