I will try this on my 40 5830's in the morning. been having alot of trouble with them. just ordered the xfire cables for them. I can currently hit 300m on one and 270 on the other but seems when I plug monitor into second card the first one always reverts to something goofy. going to try xfire and trixx in the morning. hopefully the extra power won't be a problem. I had to install more circuits recently for expansion. wondering if the extra voltage is worth the power costs?

40 5830s? IN how many rigs?

20 rigs. I averaged about $0.71c/per million hash on the builds.

Wow... why only 2 cards per rig isn't that a bit inefficient? having to have 20 mobos and cpus and psus instead of 3 or 4 cards per rig?

limits downtime/outages? Would you want 3-4 GPUs offline or 2 at a time? but, perhaps the owner can share their reason with us?

This is EXACTLY the reason. Not to mention its WAY easier to cool them. I'm up to 70 5830's as of today. When a box goes down it doesn't effect my production that much. Plus I don't like pulling GINORMOUS amounts of wattage on single circuits. This just works way better for me all the way around.

Here's a picture of another stack I just finished today.

Turn off synchronization in Trixx and you should be able to set each individually. Though I imagine that would be a bit of a pain in the ass with 40...

Thanks so much going to try that as soon as UPS gets here with the xfire adapters.

I wouldn't use crossfire adapters.... I just put 3 5830s in a rig and was having crazy issues with everything crashing.. screen freezes.. artifacts, blue screens of death... high temps....

I was fiddling with things for hours... frustrated, and the main card connected to the display just would work for mining.

Yanked the crossfire cables off.. and *bamol* everything running fine and stable getting 330 mhash per card and stayng at about 76c on the top card and 74c on the other two.

So if I want to run a game at frame rate insanity or do some crazy 3 monitor eyefinity stuff I can always stop mining and put the xfire cables on, but for mining they seem to screw things up.

I haven't been able to OC or underclock the memory on my second 5830 card yet. I see it listed as one of the two in Trixx but whenever I alter the settings they automatically revert to default. The same goes for fan settings... Any ideas?

Had the same issue , dropped Trixx and went with afterburner.

Just so you know, this latest version has a bug where it doesn't remember fan speed settings between starts. If you rely on your cards running at 100%, or have a custom profile, this is no good.

Does anybody have a link to the 4.0.1 installer, since the Sapphire website only lets you download the latest version regardless of the link you click on? I had to copy binaries between machines because I was foolish enough to delete the old download.

If you had actually tried downloading, you'd realize that although the links when you hover over the download are the same it does actually give you different files.

I still can't control voltage..?
It doesn't let me drag the slider

For anyone still struggling I found some mild degree of success in running Trixx and Afterburner at the same time and turning off synchronized card settings (as they don't seem to work for me). Trixx can underclock my second card to 300Mhz and Afterburner handles the rest... Gimped, but functioning.

I had some similar issues when I was typing numbers in, try the sliders as well. Had to toy around with it a bit, but eventually everything worked out fine.

Yeah I tried the sliders, numbers and manually moving by increments. It seems the fan setting for my first card applies to both, but the overclocking only applies to my first card. It could be a 5830 issue I guess.

If you are using a guiminer or aoclbf you have to make sure not to mess with it after you change your settings in trixx and hit apply, just hit GO or START MINING.... and thing else well set the clocks back to stock.

zOMG the new Trixx works!! I've been waiting for this day for weeks! FWIW I had to disable the Synchronize cards in Multi-GPU config and use the drop-down menu to overvolt/overlock the cards independently.

LOL seems there is some serious misconceptions on memory clock. FYI it only applies to idle, it goes back to stock at load.

I don't believe you are correct. My testing would indicate otherwise.

Has anyone tested this on multiple 6870s?
