miner settings for 5850?

[aaa801]

Just got my 5850, tryed it with cgminer and it only came up with 150mhashs  instead of what should be ~350
any help

ok managed to get it upto 305 mhashs using "cgminer -v 2 -w 256 -g 4 -k phatk -I 8 --gpu-memclock 300 --temp-target 65 --auto-fan"
and using this bin file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16956724/phatk120223Cypressv2w256l4.bin

Hash speed seems to scale linearly per shader per MHz with proper memory speeds/settings/sdk/etc. With 735 core and 1440 VLIW5 shaders, you should get about 307 MHash, so you're pretty much close to the mark. I can suggest to run 205 MHz memory and 128 worksize (About 0.15% mhash loss, but the lower temperatures makes up for increased core speed headroom. I got about 4 watts less per 5830 going from 330 memory to 205 memory, about 1c less in temperature and allowing a small bump in core) and cranking up the core speed.

If you're wondering about where I got the memory speed from, I was bored one day and did an exhausting test of many memory mhz vz worksize. you can see it here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjXdY6gpvmJ4dEo4OXhwdTlyeS1Vc1hDWV94akJHZFE&hl=en_US#gid=0 or in this picture of a graph.

hi, i managed to get it over 350mhashs with seting core to 900 and memory to 300
and using diablo with these settings
-v 2 -w 128

300 is too fast for worksize 128 (much slower). Close trixx and reopen it and you should be able to select lower memory speeds. You should get like a 10 mhash increase at the least going from 300 to 205 with 128 worksize.

only poclbm tried, -v -w 256 recommend.

i couldnt get the card to clock below 280, it just becomes unstable and bsod's after a few hours

I have an Asus DirectCU 1GB 5850 running phoenix in BAMT on phatk2 kernel and getting a stable 390 MH/s at 940 overclock and 300 memory. AGGRESSION=12 BFI_INT VECTORS FASTLOOP=FALSE WORKSIZE=256 open frame rig 60c temp.

The kernels are included in the Phoenix 2.0 install, you will see them in the kernels folder. You have them but I am not sure why they are not loading for you.
