Topic: 5870 not hashing in new computer - Stream 2.1 installed - page 3. (Read 6246 times)
I'm ranging between 285-295 Mhash/s.
I'm pretty sure I'm using 2.3 as well - how do you check that?
haha, I literally installed my 5870 five minutes ago. What a coincidence. Mine is getting only 220mhash/s, I'm suspecting it's because I'm running Stream 2.3. Anyone know how to downgrade successfully?
I've been pool mining, so I'm still doing that. And I haven't been going long enough to get an average hash rate, but it seems to be ~300, give or take some depending on how I'm using my computer.
And this card is much quieter than the old card I was using, even when mining.

Are you solo mining? whats your average khash?
Yes, I got it from there. I have now gotten more hashes in 2.5 hours than I have in the last 2 days.
Did you get the one of newegg? The 2GB eye-finity sapphire card?
New drivers installed, 555.4Mhash/s. 
It went down to 351Mhash/s while I'm typing this. I was really hoping I'd gotten a 5970 shipped to me by mistake.

Hm...5870 plugged in, drivers installed, no OpenCL/CUDA support. Going to the webpage for newest drivers.
Install card. Install drivers. Go for it. There really isn't much else to do but that.
And get started quickly, because the hashing difficulty factor has been rising every 10 to 14 days.

Anybody have any tips/tricks for using the 5870? I'm equally excited for the mining possibility, and also for the possibility to play games (such as Half Life 2) on a higher graphics setting.
I'm planning on installing the bare minimum for drivers/etc needed to get the card running, as I don't like having extra programs running in the background. Does that sound like a good plan?
