Although, ~575 mhash out of the box on a 7970 is very inspiring.
Did you get your shiny new 7970 yet DiabloD3?

Been a bit busy with RL, at least the money has finally arrived from Dwolla (seriously, 5 days? wtf)

Excellent work on the early GCN support!

Is that your effort or someone else's? I need to know where to send the donation.

Mine, the support merely makes it work, it doesn't provide any useful optimization yet. Although, ~575 mhash out of the box on a 7970 is very inspiring.

imagine if all pci-e slots are being utilized. 1 board with 5 slots = 35 cards max.

hahahaha, crazy.
Driver limit of 8 GPUs.....
I don't know whether anyone has been successful at getting VT-d to work with more than 8 GPUs in a virtualized environment. I really wish it were easy to do.

LukeJr has, uses KVM on a known-to-work VT-d board. Host gets a few, guest VM gets a few. The limitation is purely of the driver, AMD could fix it to do 16 or whatever.
Yes but he has only tested it with one video card, and it keeps crashing.

Ahh, he failed to mention that.

Apparently, the Chinese love DiabloMiner

Scroll down for screenshot

Never mind the miner screenshot, i'm more interested in the PCI-E splitter they used! What IS that abomination? ... I want one!
wtf, homemade splitter.

1 pci-e to 7 pci-e.

-v 1 is what I am using witht he rest stock parameters.  You should get ~550mh/s at stock speeds, ~650mh/s overclocked to 1125.  You can undervolt these cards quite a bit if you are looking to draw less power.  I have mine set to 899mV @ 925/500.  I think I can shave off another 10-20mV with further testing.  @1125mhz you can go down to around 1050mV.  



Thanks, will try that... btw, I have been running the miner at 1125MHz clocks and so far, I've gotten 1 "hw error" over the course of a couple hours. Not too sure how concerned I should be about this, would it mean my overclock is possibly unstable?

EDIT: seems it is due to the OC, had to back down to 1060 MHz to get fully stable at stock clocks.

1 hw error is basically meaningless. All cards, even at stock clocks, will generate them now and then.

HD7970, 2.6SDK, latest drivers... doesn't work:






I'm at a loss here.

The module that is crashing is the a D3DGear DLL.  Shut that program off before you start the miner.

Also, try specifying your device.    

Also, are you using the drivers from the below link.  They are a lot better than the ones that came in the box.  

http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/radeon-7900-series.aspx

Is Java up to date?

Thanks, fixed it... was a capturing software I installed that conflicted with the miner. What are the best settings for an HD7970 right now?

Pardon my newbie question (I did search).

How do I enable my second Radeon HD6950? I am running DiabloMiner fine with Cayman (#1) running at 312 MHash, but I can clearly tell the second card is not running at all as it is cold.

Linux x64.



Thats not strictly a DiabloMiner question. To mine with multiple cards under any miner under Linux, you must turn off Crossfire. Merely unplugging the bridge does not disable it, you must, as root, run aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all and then restart X.This will disable Crossfire and make every card individually addressable by all applications.

Thanks, both cards running now.

I don't use Windows, but try to make it spit out a Java stack trace. I suspect its a driver bug. It is especially weird it crashes before it actually does anything.
