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 was getting 355 MH/s running my HD5870 at 950/300 with the standard poclbm on Win7, but now I'm trying Phoenix 1.1 with AGGRESSION set to 10 and the card at 975/300, I'm getting a reported 410 MH/s. Dropping the Memory Clock speed from 1200 to 300 does help, but you'll need to use MSI Afterburner to do it.

For those with win 7 64 bit, I'm now running at 990/700 and it seems to be stable as high as 367-368Mhash/s, so it's not that far off from the performance that the thread starter got.

Just wanted to share the results of my new mining rig. Original plan was a 6990, but TigerDirect FUBAR'd that order. I ended up getting a 5870 delivered before fixing the 6990 order issue, and I'm amazed at how well its performing.

Funny, I ordered a 6950 from tigerdirect and they also FUBAR'd it too. They held it for a confirmation yet it was paid out of a paypal balance. I did not know for a week (I should have checked on shipping sooner!) so I lost out of a weeks mining. I ordered another 5870 from someone else instead.

I'm getting 83C temps and 330Mhashes/sec on my Asus matrix 5870 2GB clocks @ 982/1245

Is that normal? Cause from reading here it doesn't seem like it is?

You could try to use Msi afterburner to increase the fan speed. That would lower the temps. running mine at 3500RPM, and temps are at 62 degrees celcius.

Try the following command for mining (These are for connecting to deepbit-pool:

Code:

poclbm.exe --user=yourusergoeshere --pass=yourpassgoeshere --device=devicenumbergoes here --verbose --rate=5 -o deepbit.net -f 0 -v -w 128

Pay attention to the last part of that string. Setting -f 0 means the desktop will be laggy, but more Mhashes/sec will come your way. If you inted to use the system for work, you could have two different settings (make bat or vbs files), one for full load, and one that you can use while working on the system.

Also you can download AMD GPU Clock Tool to overclock the card. I've had it running at core clock 970 and mem clock 700 for a couple of days, I also changed the voltage to 1.0630.

I had the same number as you, 330Mhash/s before I overclocked the card.

Haven't checked my power consumption, but I increased from 333Mhash/s to ~361Mhash/s which is about 8% increase.

Running 5870. Overclocked with AMD GPU Clock Tool. Core clock=999, Memory Clock=700. Voltage=1.0630.

I'm not really into the technical details here, I just tried until I had something that worked.

Running win7 64bit

Can't be bothered to get the driver versions now. Fan running at 3333 RPM, temp at 71 celsius.

It is left to see if this will run in a stable fashion.

Managed to get it to 375 for short sprints, but system crashed so it was not sustainable.

Edit: Just popping in to tell that I ran at 360Mhash/s all night without a hitch. (970Mhz/Mem clock 700, VDDC 1.0630)

I have two ASUS 5870 stock in my intel rig running non-crossfire at 975core/900mem fans at 63%. Temps at 60 for GPU1 and 67 for GPU2. Getting 368MH/s each. (-v -w 128) 371MH/s (-v -w -f 0)

When I lower the mem down to 600, I loose ~20 MH/s on each card.

And AFAIK, the -f switch has to do with the window allowed for framerate to the desktop. You can set it to -f 120 and play starcraft while mining.

I'd recommend checking your power consumption. I lose about 20 mH/sec underclocking my memory, but it is more profitable (mHash/kWh).

I have 381M/s with HIS iCooler5 5870 980MHz Core and 900MHz Memory, Core Voltage Stock, Temperatures about 62*C.
m0mchill miner - -v -w 128 -f 1

Where can I find out what all this stuff means: "-v -w 128 -f 1"? I'm trying to figure out if I should be using any of those with my 6990. I'm using poclbm-gui.

That's it! I get about 360Mh/s using -f @ 930 MHz clock speeds. This also lessens the effects of lowering the memory below 900. So now my command looks like -v -w 128 -f. It makes my system really slow, but if I am only using it for mining, who cares?

Here's a post by another forumer about -f:

Quote

My speculation is -f regulates the interval of time for which GPU processes single unit of work, much like a quantum of time in Windows task manager. Or, rather, it specifies a frequency with which GPU changes context. Again - it's only my speculation.

So I recently did a reformat and now my card is running 5-6C hotter with 25% faster FAN speed with the Bitcoin GPU client then it did before I reformatted.

Only differences now is that is that I'm using CCC 11.4p and ATI Stream SDK 2.3 along with a new GUI Mining Client (provided here) that seems to give me an extra 30 mhashes/sec but that could be because of the updated drivers? Before I used 11.2 and ATI Stream 2.1.

The confusing part is that my volts this time around are slightly lower than before. I use Asus AI tweaker (Its a bit glitchy I can never get it to give me the volts I tell it too) to modify volts and then monitor it with GPUz. Before I had 2.985 volts and now I have 2.875 with hotter temps.

Are the updated drivers enough for the Mhash/s Boost and increased temps?

I suppose I'll get a better idea once I play some games, but I'm waiting to get my steam account back atm.

Also is 85-86C safe temps for an HD5870?

Also I'm getting 364.6 Mhashes/sec with 977/1250 Clocks is that normal? Using -v -w128 -f 1 (which I have no idea what it means)

GPU ran all night hashing away at 1020 core and 600 memory, maintaining the 385 mHash/sec, and only hitting 68C without fail.

I actually tried restoring the memory to the 1200 original clock speed, and it did increase my mHash/sec to 398, but the power consumption increase reduced the mHash/watt ratio. After work tonight I'll start working on different memory clock speeds to find the sweet spot for mHash/watt.

My second 5870 gets delivered today as well, hopefully I get one that performs like the first!

Man I'm running the same temp & clock settings and getting 368mHash/s but I have 2 massive coolers strapped to my card. Undecided

The highest I can push my XFX 5870 is ~372-375Mhash at around 985 Core. Anything higher and it starts freezing and crashing.

Well done

Yeah, I really just started the heavier OC'ing today, last night I ran it at 900 and all went well. When I got home from work I pushed it to 975 just to be risky and saw the temps barely rise and power consumption only go up maybe 8 or 9 watts. After a few hours at that I've put it at 1000 and will let it run 12-24 hours at that speed before I try going any higher.

What CPU/MEM are you using? Are you using a desktop hard drive or a USB/SSD drive? Any other power consumers beyond that one 5870?

AMD Sempron 140 with the 2nd core unlocked.
2 solid state drives (1x Kingston 16 gB, 1x OCZ 60 gB)
4x case fans (3 230mm, 1x 140mm)
1000 watt PSU (Cooler Master Silent Pro, got such a massive one in case it ever expanded into dual 6990s)
4x GB RAM (4x 1 gig).

I'm planning on using the rest of the build for a medium sized web server while the GPUs do their mining, thus the double SSDs (boot drive & mysql/storage drive), RAM, and unlocked 2nd core of the processor.
