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.

Finally got a chance to try this out. I tried it last week, but the driver kept hanging during boot. I thought it was my crummy flash drive install I was using (long story) but just did a clean install on a spare hard drive. Same result with 4 cards -- black screen + hang. Plugging in only 1 card boots though.
The damn Core - 125Mhz memory limit thing still exists... Fuuuuuuuuuu. It's worse now though -- it seems to be set to stock core - 125Mhz. The current core clock doesn't matter.

Fixed by using 64 bit. I'll bet there's a problem with 32 bit being able to address all 12GB of video memory (3GB per card).

Yeah, all 4 are running properly under Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.
I ran into the CPU bug, but that was fixed by exporting GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
I'm getting hosed on power usage though because I can't bring the memclock down further than core - 150mhz (I was wrong on my previous post). Can't change voltage either. The cards behave like the 6000 series (as far as clock/voltage adjustment goes). This could be easily fixed with a BIOS flash, but there aren't any BIOS editors yet that support them(that I know of). The newest version of atiflash supports flashing them though.

Does anyone think it possible to run one off a x1 slot?
Trying to avoid the cost of an MB with 4x x16 slots...

IMO cheap cpu: OK cheap mem: OK cheap mobo: NOT OK cheap psu: NOT OK the mobo and psu will outlive the cards you put on it... dont skimp on the PSU or MOBO |

Well I can't seem to use these drivers with my 6000 series cards plugged in at the same time . It's either or for now Aha, it works only if the 7970 is in the first PCIE slot (plus I manually edited xorg.conf). Pick the 7970 amongst these (mining solo for testing): GPU 0: 74.0C 4312RPM | 685.5/686.7Mh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:0 U:0.00/m I: 9
GPU 1: 74.5C 5362RPM | 427.9/428.5Mh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:0 U:0.00/m I: 9
GPU 2: 73.5C 4627RPM | 428.0/428.7Mh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:0 U:0.00/m I: 9
GPU 3: 73.0C 4197RPM | 437.2/437.4Mh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:0 U:0.00/m I: 9

@jjiimm -- I hear you on the PSU's - -Seasonic Golds FTW!
But my questions wasn't answered, can you run it off a x1 or must it be x16?

Well I can't seem to use these drivers with my 6000 series cards plugged in at the same time . It's either or for now I'm running 6000 series and one 7970 on ubuntu 11.04 and the shitty 8.921 driver. It involved manually editing xorg.conf, not sexy :/ Also cannot change voltage and seriously downclock memory. Please share if you had better progress, thanks! |
