I repeat my question:

Does anyone have a working number for Sapphire 6950 1GB voltage?
Shipped with 1.1v, GPU ist 840, memory downclocked to 800.

Would LOVE to set the voltage a little lower. Anyone?

please post the output of -r -l

which driver version do you use?

clocktweak output:

driver version 8.850.0.0 (4/19/2011)
catalyst 11.6

you can do as Jabba suggested and use RBE to find out your valid Voltage levels. Probably the next lower level is 1000mV. If you try to set that clocktweak will happily accept it but nothing happens? I have an Idea of what happens. Unfortunately it will probably not work on your system with the current clocktweak strategy. Maybe I have to rewrite the voltage setting part a little.

Are you aware that you will 99% not be able to run 840Mhz at a lower voltage level?

Did you set your level1 memclocks (699 / 799) manually?

So now that you've got JSON implemented, I think I'll start work on some monitoring software based on clocktweak

I bashed something together for myself but it's very hackish, nothing trapped for or commented, messy code and bashed together in the quickest language I knew (Classic ASP).

It's up at http://codinginmysleep.com/miners/ for critique. Pretty basic interface, color-coded HUD at the top for each miner and the simple clocktweak -r -n output below. Not pretty but it functions. Would anyone be interested in something of this nature?

Classic ASP? Python rulez!

I like the color coding.

p.s. could it be that some of your cards are a little lazy? Mine have to work hard at 99% load all the time.

To get other voltages you just need to get a copy of your bios by using GPU-Z.
Then take RBE Bios editor and check the different states for their clock and voltage. Voilá there you go. Take the next lower voltage setting and start tweaking - big fun!

I think it is possible to see the voltage states with ati tray tools, too. Would be nice to be able to read these using clocktweak..........

Made a simple auto temperature control .bat script using ClockTweak tool http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28319.0

It can to control gpu core temperature by changing core speed depends on Minumum and Maximum margin values.

P.S. phelix, I made it my own way, so last features with errorlevel were not useful

P.P.S. phelix, don't you want to compile linux version of clocktweak? Now it is more functional than other linux tools.

+1

nice work! an advantage of doing it your way instead of using the errorlevel method is that you can control each gpu separately. I am still a bit sceptical about the sweet spot / clock vs hashrate linearity issue. I hope to find time to build a sweet spot scanner soon.

Maybe there is another way to throttle the gpu - e.g. by slowing down a cpu core by issuing HLT commands or by somehow slowing down the gpu (powertune is perfect but only available on 6xxx cards).

I will think about a linux version - unfortunately my experience with linux is limited.

But u didn't need a json . I'am doing in such way:

Code:

echo off
SET Miner=Miner1
FOR /F "tokens=1,3,5 delims=:# " %%A IN ('c:\windows\clocktweak.exe -r ^| Find "Temp"') DO (
wget "http://myserver.com/bitgraph/collector.php?MinerName=%MINER%&Temp=%%B&CardId=%%A&Load=%%C"
)

It will do GET request for each gpu installed something like this:

Code:

http://myserver.com/bitgraph/collector.php?MinerName=Miner1&Temp=76&CardId=0&Load=98"
http://myserver.com/bitgraph/collector.php?MinerName=Miner1&Temp=73&CardId=3&Load=98"

I had tried it in 0.9 already and dropped it back to see if the new version caused the problem. GPU-Z is still showing the same results as my last post.

what driver version do you use? it seems to accept clock speed levels out of order.

if you like you can try the hidden options (mentioned in the readme) -memlevelX and -corelevelX

you can try this procedure:

clocktweak -y -a all -m 280 -memlevel0
clocktweak -y -a all -m 290 -memlevel1
clocktweak -y -a all -m 300 -l

please upgrade to the latest version. there is a patch at http://bitcoinx.com/clocktweak

v0.8.0b displays a wrong coreL0 clock speed (coreL2 instead)

still it is kinda awkward that your memL0 and memL2 speed are both at 300. that should not be possible. I assume you did not make a reboot before these readouts. try a memclock of 303 instead of 300. it looks like 300 is your bios limit.

When mining on 2 of the GPUs, GPUZ is reporting that the GPUs that are NOT mining are running 300 & 300 and the GPUs that are mining are running 980 & 1050. If I change Clock speed, the MH/s do change but from the beginning it always looked like clock and fan speed worked & voltage and memory speed didn't.

it is normal for the speeds to jump if you start mining - the card is switching from lazy powersafing 2d mode to hard work 3d mode. the problem is that the high values should stay to what you put them.

According to GPU-Z, the Graphics Card tab says Clock is 1000 and Mem is 300, but the sensor tab shows Clock @ 1000 and Mem @ 1050. Ever seen it show two different values?

Can someone with a 4 card 68XX setup check to make sure everything is working properly? I just tried ClockTweak on a 1 card setup and it seemed to set everything right. I am starting to think that similar to how Afterburner doesn't work on a 4 card setup, maybe ClockTweak isn't working too.

According to GPU-Z, the Graphics Card tab says Clock is 1000 and Mem is 300, but the sensor tab shows Clock @ 1000 and Mem @ 1050. Ever seen it show two different values?

if the card was idle it is normal to show different values. was it? also it might take some time to refresh.

ClockTweak is working fine with a four card setup, I have four cards myself and lots of other people have confirmed it.

Still there seems to be something weird going on with your system. Please do this to help me debug:

Reboot your system
do not start any miners yet
run "clocktweak -r -l"
run with your parameters: "clocktweak.exe -a all -c1000 -m300 -v1000 -s95 -y"
run "clocktweak -r -l"
start your miners on two cards
run "clocktweak -r -l"

post all the outputs here in a code tag as before.

other things you can try:
with cards in idle and all cooled down set fan speeds of single cards high to determine adapter# for each physical card. also take a look at gpu-z so you know the order in gpu-z. you may want to write it down (I did =) ).

start a single miner on a single card and check with clocktweak / gpu-z which cards gets hot to determine gpu/adapter# for your mining software.

with the miners running change clock / mem speeds of single cards and check if hashrates change.

download worked, program works as well.

on my sapphire 6950s, only a few select combinations work:

-c840 -m800 (-c840 with any lower setting than -m800 will result in -m1250)
-c800 -m700 (doesnt go lower than -m700 at all!)

only the -v option i havent figured out yet. if someone can give me a working number, please? so far i have tried 900, 950, 975, 1000, 1050, 1075.

still stays at 1100.

also, if someone knows a working -m lower than, please kick it my way!

i dig the program. nice work!
