I just installed a 6870 video card and want to make sure bitcoin is using it. How do I figure out what my hashrate is?
Thanks,
Jeff

Don't use that client for mining. You should download some GPU mining application like poclbm or guiminer: https://github.com/downloads/Kiv/poclbm/guiminer-20110428.exe |

How is deepbit.net hashrate calculated? It varies a lot, while that reported in my client does not.

 The deepbit.net hashrate is a mining pool. It varies every time somebody enters or exits the pool. |

The deepbit.net hashrate is a mining pool. It varies every time somebody enters or exits the pool. He is referring to his own mining speed reported by deepbit.net, which is based on submitted shares. |

If you look at 5min avg on submited shares it can change a lot, I had 4Ghash/s with 300Mhash/s card in few mins, just got extremely lucky with completed shares.

Thanks for the help. I got it going with poclbm.
Now I have another issue, though. I'm only getting around 7 MHash/s. I was expecting to get more like 250-400 MHash/s with my video card, as indicated on the hardware comparison form on the wiki. Any ideas? And when I try to increase the "Engine" speed in the AMD SmartDoctor it errors out saying that it can't do it for some reason. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

Try -d 0 and -d 1 as launch arguments with poclbm. Odds are it's simply using the wrong one. And make sure of course, to have the SDK installed.
