350-375 khash/s on HD 7970

[Fiyasko]

PLEASE goodsir!, You will NOT regret using CGminer!!!, I procrastinated from using it for MONTHS, And to this day i regret all those days that i wasted staying with GUIminer, Trust me dude, CGminer is DEFINITLY what you want Use that, Or Since you have a 7970 Diablo Miner,

CGMiner!!
CGMiner!!
CGMiner!!
CGMiner!!

It will pick all the settings and do everything for you once you get it running!, Seriously! Use it!

Why Diablo Miner over CGMiner with a 7970?

No specific reason, The Diablo mining Kernal is just optimized for 7xxx cards (from what i know due to the GCN structure), It comes built in with CGMiner, But there is also the standalone Diablominer

ymeiner that's nice, I'm going to try that config. I'm planning a rig with 5x 7950's, 1500w psu.

I get 580kh on my 7970.

[JibbsIsMe]

I highly recommend DiabloMiner for the 7970, I tend to get higher hashes with it.

Anyone using HD 7950 ?
I think it has a better hash/$ value.

Anyway, which motherboard can support 5 cards?
Does it matter if the PCI Express port is only x8 instead of x16 ?

Thanks

try whit ubuntu 12.04

Hi

I recomend this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=97154.20

No problems so far and it supports 6 cards

Whats the power usage of that setup ymeiner?

Hi,

I wanted to try this bitmining thing on my HD 7970 gpu, as I have never done any bitmining before I decided to use GUIMiner.
I created an OpenCL miner, and started mining, but I am only getting 350-375 khash/s, and everybody else is talking Mhash/s not khash/s.
So what could I be doing wrong?
Please keep in mind that I am a total noob at bitmining.

Best regards

my settings on ubuntu

--gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 --auto-fan --temp-target 78 --shaders 2048 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 16384 -I 14 -g 2 -w 256

I was getting at least 660 with a very mild overclock using cgminer (with diablo kernel) on a 7970 1Ghz.  Mind you that card did go up in smoke after 3 weeks of use.
Make sure you've got the amd ocl app sdk installed properly.  May be worth uninstalling all ati stuff and starting again.

I need to check that . My office is in a shared space and I pay a monthly rental fee so power consumption was never an issue for me...

[parsec]

Can you tell what are you trying to mine? I mean, if it's a coin that uses scrypt then khs are ok.
