What you brought is basically a GPU.

Is it your first card or do you think 5970 are different to the point on requiring a special pool ?

Edit : Sorry missed "first timer"  (you have 650 post, about time)

This card is very noisy when overcloked, if you are not to have it around I suggest you to use BAMT on a USB as a the minner.

For a pool I suggest  ars technica pool, nmcbit, abcpool (haven't used)

Bitcoin!
I've got a 5970 on the way.  I'm planning to put it in a computer I already have running Ubuntu 11.10.  What are your recommendations for:

- Overclocking
- What miner to use
- What pool to use
- Any other tweaks to the miner software to get more MH/s

This will be my first attempt at GPU mining. I'm approaching it as a hobby, and just want to see how many bitcoins I can get out of it.

Thanks.
