This isn't the main problem, but it will still help your speeds. I judging by your clock speeds it doesn't look like you have done any kind of overlocking. Open up the Catalyst Control center and go into ATI Overdrive. Turn your memory speed all the way down, and GPU clock as high as it can go without crashing. Also turn up your fan speed to max and try your best to keep your card around or below 90C.

89 degrees feels like it's getting near the edge of what's safe, so you should downclock the memory on both cards to save power and lower temperature. ------------------------

Two instances of whatever mining client you're using per card.
What temperature does the cards reach? If there is a case of overheating, the card will donwclock itself automatically to prevent damage, lowering hashrate in the process.
I imagine your problem is that the 5970 has 2 cores, so you need to run two instances of your mining program (one per core). So if you have 2 5970s, then 4 in total. For poclbm you add the "--device=0" flag to your command line and change the number to accomplish this, so start one instance with --device=0, then an instance with --device=1 etc.
If that solves your issue please send the bitcoin to 12aw3CRAtKQoT2skZ9CF2ea2jVHFARqCep and it will be gratefully received!

First off, what have you tried so far? Have you tried the various flags listed next to your card on that page you linked? What about overclocking? Let me know where you stand right now so I have an idea of how to help you.
doesnt 5970 have two cores? maybe you're only using one. 300 sounds very low...
Yeah 600 and something is the average with a 5970.
Which miner are you using?
Did you try with the latest ati drivers and OpenCL runtime kit?

Hey guys
I'm reading that I should be able to get 650 MH/s on a ati 5970 from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#AMD_%28ATI%29
However i'm only getting [303.59 Mhash/sec] [54 Accepted] [0 Rejected] [RPC (+LP)]
I'm offering 1 bitcoin to the person who can get me up to above 550 mark per card
I'm using linux ubuntu 11.04
2x 5970 ati video cards 2mb ram
Thank you!
