Want legit 7970 testing/benchmarking and tuning for cgminer and Diablominer?

According to this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=56630.0 someone is cracking 568 MH/s on a mildly overclocked 7970 already.

For those wondering, DiabloMiner already only runs BFI_INT on cards that can do it: it will not do it on 79xx (at least, not until we can change the kernel binary, the instruction is different on GCN).

I was right then, I think. I said 7970 should exceed 500 stock properly tuned, and that guy is doing it with a minor overclock.

well I wouldn't call a 20%+ overclock "mild".

Well, what do you call my 5850, stock 725, at 960?

Well good news, looks like with 2.6, bitselect() is mapped to the corresponding bfi instruction on GCN archs. But not on VLIW ones. That is nice. So the bfi problem is solved.

A small donation sent. I hope the 7970 card is worth it! =)

This is extremely good news. Less ugly code is always better.

where's my credit for .00001 bitcoin?

maybe i got the decimals wrong..... sorry =/

There is two for 0.000001, both are in the current total.

Thanks a lot, though. Every btc counts.

You could have gotten more than 4.75 for the BTC!

Well, yes, we know that now. Hindsight is 20/20, and no one expected BTC to hit $7 out of nowhere.

LOL. We are doomed. Why all the signs of the antichrist over in the BTC world ?

$6.66 prices
666 hashrates

What is the meaning ?

How about you get to share that 7970 with others through a pooled fund or something so we can get most optimizations done as a community ?

Because its too difficult to physically ship the card. There also is maybe three people in the world that would benefit from this, and one of them quit working on GPU miners altogether, and the other can probably afford to buy one straight out. Seriously, there simply is not that many people in the world that understand mining well.

Well their up for sell in Canada
