Topic: Radeon 5850 stuck at 75-80% (Read 1187 times)
Solved! thanks!
did you re-initialize X after changing (adding) the card configuration?
sudo aticonfig -f --initial --adapter=all ; sudo coldreboot
what does aticonfig tell you about the clocks on the card, sometimes bamt gets confused I've found
sudo aticonfig --od-enable ; export DISPLAY=:0 ; sudo aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all
774MHz seems low for a 5870. I think the stock clocks are 850 or 900 depending on the brand. One of my miners is the exact same config as you described...FWIW, I run at 835/300 on the 5970 and 950/300 on the 5870 and pull 1212MH/s all day long from that miner

edit: just saw you have a 5850, not 5870...my bad...do check the clocks though bamt can/does get confused from time to time.

I did not reinitialize it. I didn't know I had to do anything besides plug and play. Rebooting now from first step to see if it changes

I just checked using 'top' and I'm running @ 50% on one core. seems to be the core with the 5850 on it. What is eating it? o.o
Yeah you can use top, or pidstat or mpstat or iostat (not sure if you won't need sysstat installed, if so: apt-get install sysstat)
htop is convenient also to see cpu usage on each core (apt-get install htop)
50% is not normal btw, I get ~5-10% with same number of GPUs (2x 5870, 1x 5830) on an underclocked and undervolted E4300.
Is your BAMT up to date, did you do any modications to it? Have you got any other motherboards to try it? What is the CPU? Did you try to put the cards in different slots?
What's the cpu usage while mining?
Try increasing the aggression level.

I changed agression from 9 to 14 and it went up to ~81% -.-
Is there a command to check cpu usage in ssh?
So, I just got a 5850 and I'm running it on bamt with my other 5970. Oddly enough, it won't hit 100% load. I've tried running it without the 5970 in the board, and it does the same thing. Psu is 750w corsair and runs perfectly fine. Any ideas?
