7970's in the mail.....anyone used with GUIminer yet?

[jjiimm_64]

Just got my 4 cards....  cant wait to get them home.

edit:  this is alot like work..  drivers....  msiafterburner display wrapper issues... etc etc

got them working at stock clocks..  but only getting 360.  then when I put in art setting, they went to 450 for a minute then hard crash on win7...

Can't remember who it was but some dude got them at around 720 or 700 mhash/s !

But then the power consumed makes your MH/W ratio suck !

1-upd!
max @ stock V: 1070 core, 695Mh/s
@ 1.20V: 1170, 759Mh/s
and for shits and giggles...
@ 1.25V: 1240 core, 805Mh/s

Tip: try phoenix with -k poclbm AGGRESSION=10 WORKSIZE=256

Weird I use those settings I am 100 MH/s off your numbers.

I'm somewhat under ArtForz's numbers, too. At 1075 core, 685 mem, using phoenix with suggested params, only getting ~633Mh/s.

Art, what memclock are you using?

NM figured it out in part for my comp.  He has the newest version of Phoenix.  I just dropped it into Guiminer.  GM is a little slow to display the MH/s with it in like that.  I'm still like 60 MH/s off his numbers.

[jjiimm_64]

Nice.  I had to punt. throwing in some 5870's and a linuxcoin for the rig to work until I can get to this tomorrow night

as I took the cards out...  I think one of the plugs was not fully seated. could explain the crashes.  will get these running manana

*shame* disregard those results, somehow managed to completely botch it.

I think I mixed up hashrates, clocks and power measurements from different sets of runs or skipped lines somehwere.

So we should subtract 139W from the total power number to figure what the card is using? 

[ArtForz]

I'd subtract 108W or so, should get decent estimate of real card power at the wall with a 92% efficient PSU.

Art,  why are we keeping the mem so high? is it needed to achieve the hashrate? or is 1020 all you can lower it?

I'm running mine @ 1125/685 @ 1100mv @ 666 MH/s.  I can go lower on the voltage too.  I haven't found the floor yet with that overclock.  I have no hardware errors at those settings.  My understanding is somewhere between 1050-1100 is possible. 

[ArtForz]

Can't set anything lower, when I try it *shows* lower but jumps back to 1375 (obvious in power consumption @ 925 core)

New drivers just hit.  Anyone care to test?  I'll be doing so after work.

SUCKS FOR MINING!!!  DO NOT INSTALL IT!

I lost 200 MH/s with the same settings.  Thanks for nothing AMD.  what dogshit. 

Just got home. These are giving me the same MH/s as I was getting before.

[yochdog]

false alarm.....the clocks reset.....I am getting the same hash rate.  no improvement.

at least you can keep yours running......

mine keeps hard stopping the machine..  I even tried diablo.  ran all 4 cards for about 30 sec then poof

maybe the silverstone 1200 not enough to push 4 of these cards at stock clocks?  I have a seasonic 1250 in a diff machine. maybe I will try that.

meanwhile, i put the 5 5870's back in the rig and they run fine on the silverstone1200.  so i dont think it is the power..  dunno

NM figured it out in part for my comp.  He has the newest version of Phoenix.  I just dropped it into Guiminer.  GM is a little slow to display the MH/s with it in like that.  I'm still like 60 MH/s off his numbers.

finally got them running.

before dropping in the new phoenix, the hashrate showed right away at about 455.  once I drop the new phoenix into GM, it will NOT show the hashrate.  unless your on the mining tab and stop the miner, it then shows it.  how did you get yours to show?

I changed to diablo and am getting very good results...  and it seams to use less watts then gui/phen

snip from other thread

I am getting ~670Mh  1125/1020  pulling about 240w/c   all defaults on diablo


edit:  i since changed to 925/1100  to compare.   getting: ~550   diablo defaults

edit2: wow, only pulling about 175w/c    2 cards:  479w total
