Just to give a comparison my 3 x 5850 give me 1156 MH/S on Cat 12.1 & SDK 2.1.

Thank you for the answers. I will try SDK 2.1 today and 2.5 so see which would be the best.

Those are very low hashrates for those clock speed.

Install 2.1 SDK, verify the 2.1 SDK is installed, and make sure to select the platform when booting up cgminer with the "gpu-platform" command (first platform is 0. 2.1 will likely be platform 1). Also use phatk kernel, worksize 128, and vectors 2. Lastly, you said engine clocks are 865, 840, 860. Use these memory speeds in respective order. 173, 168, 172. You should get 401, 389, and 399 mhash respectively.

You should be getting better MH/s with those cards at those core speeds. I'd say if you're using 12.8, you're also using SDK 2.7, which has crap performance on those 5xxx cards. You can switch to either 2.1 or 2.5 (I used 2.5), and either one will bring you closer to 400MH/s per card.

IIRC, a combination of SDK 2.5, mem of 300, and worksize of 256 worked exceptionally well. For 2.1, you might be better off with worksize of 128 and a lower memory (160-170).

How much do you pay for electricity?

I thought so for a wile too, but when i actualy calculated, it appeared that even with one card in system (HD7970) all system drawing 360W, i am good to overclock as far as i can, if market priceis bigger thant 8$ and my electricity costs ~ 0.27 cents per watt. So calculate that correctly, i am sure, that for today price it is reasonable for you to push from those cards every juice they have Smiley

I must use undervolt because of high price of electricity in Finland. I will profit more by doing that, but I'd like to get max Mhash with those clock rates that I'm using.

Idont know if thats normal, pretty low scores actualy.

I got 2 HD 5870, both 980/300, catalyst 11.11c, got 450 MH/s per card, total speed ~ 900Mh/s.
So beter clock those babies, there is no reason to downclock them at current BTC price.

Hey,

I'd like to know if this speed is normal with 3x 5870's. I've got them all at 1.0v and engine clocks are 865, 840, 860 mems 300MHz all.

This is how my cgminer looks like:

I'm using Win7 64bit and latest 12.8 drivers. Should I change SDK to 2.1?
