Topic: 5870 running at 421 mHash/sec! - page 3. (Read 23027 times)
XFX ref (bought at release) with thermalright T-rad 2 + the VRM cooler that goes with it, been running at 1000/300 1.2V giving 440 Mhash/s (catalyst 11.5 with sdk 2.1 poclbm) for about 4 months now, It can do 1100 stable for mining almost breaking the magic 500 Mhash limit but it needs 1.35V for that and i don't trust it to survive for many days/weeks with those settings :p
I can score about 340 mhash with my single vtx 5870 on guiminer with
-v -w 128
So do u thinck there is a better miner?

I run stable at 950/700 stock voltage, phoenix + poclbm aggression 6, 386 mh/s, temp at 74 fan 57% very quiet. Sapphire 5870 1gb ddr5
Hava a look a the Sapphire Trixx utility, it let me overvolt my non ref xfx 5850. However be carefull most reference coolers tend to skimp on the vrm cooling so overvolting isnt exactly the best idea.
You can overvolt if you flash with a different BIOS, but you can't change voltage 'on the fly'.
I wouldn't advice anybody to do this. The reason some cards can't change voltage is often that they use a different voltage controller that doesn't support it. Worst case you may end up bricking your card because the BIOS isn't compatible with it. I've gone from 360 mh/s to 405 mh/s.
I've got one of those XFX cards which unfortunately you cannot overvolt
Running at 975 core, 300 mem.
Thanks for the info.

The ASUS is usually used and is at http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?page=1&architecture=ATI&manufacturer=Asus&model=HD+5870&interface=&memSize=0
Having said this, I couldn't get my XFX stable at 975 with a higher voltage anyway, so I'm running stock volts at 965/300. It uses less power this way, too.

hi,
Here is my contribution, just for information:
I've a HD5870 XFX and up to 429-435Mh/s (it varies) with 1000/300 0.950v and phoenix 1.1 with VECTORS AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=128 BFI_INT (with aggression=12 I loose some mh/s..)
OS windows 7 64 ; 85°C after 1/2h

Did you use msi afterburner to undervolt de gpu? Did you try to get it any lower? How did you test for stability?
Thank you in advance.
I use AMD GPU Clock Tool to undervolt. I tried 1030/300 @0.950 but got some crashes.
I am completely amazed at how much more power the phoenix miner has been able to unlock in these cards. My rig has gained over 50 mHash/sec in the past 24 hours as new revisions keep rolling out. 380 was pretty much never mentioned on the forums before my post, and now we're seeing 430-440 being very reachable by most 5870 cards with Phoenix.
Yep it is quite impressive indeed. All thanks to the BFI_INT instruction support!

New version of Phoenix 1.2 is now for download. Give it a try.
I see a lot have happened here!
Ok, I'll fill in my two cents.
I used AMD GPU Clock Tool to tweak the Core Clock and the Memory Clock.
At settings 970 and 300 (0.9500)-voltage I get ~395 to 406Mhash/s.
I'm afraid to drive the clock up too much as this makes the graphic card driver crash.

Impressive. Your using windows I assume?
Ubuntu 10.10 x64, SDK 2.1, Phoenix miner
I just switched over to the Phoenix miner 1.1 as well, and now run at 421-423 mHash/sec on all of my 5870s. Clock settings are 975/300, using the 0.950 voltage. They're running cooler, sucking less power, and running significantly faster with Phoenix!
1010/300 (stock voltage) here with Phoenix and getting 437MH/s on my 5870. Still running a tiny bit hot at 77C but that is my crappy case, most likely.
I'm hoping to push my cards back to 1020/300 once I finish reorganizing my house to accommodate the rigs and can spend some time hooked up to a Kill-A-Watt to find the sweet spot for mHash/watt.
