Simple question here:

I'm trying to mine with my Radeon 5770 and it working o.k. ~200Mh/sec using m0mchil's python miner.
Does this card have one GPU or two?  When I run 'poclbm.exe' it just lists one GPU and one CPU device, is that correct?

Thanks!

What's your clock/mem and mining settings to get those 200Mh/sec?

I just got 2x5770 with each 185Mh/sec running at only 850/300 to keep low consumption but would be nice to know the possibilities

I have 6 Radeon HD 5770 on three motherboards that I got from Newegg a few weeks ago given the limited choices.  Four are Sapphire cards that run 10 degrees C cooler than the alternatives.   One of the Sapphire HD 5770's crashes when overclocked so I leave it alone.

The three rigs yield say 1145 MH/sec and the shared UPS draws 850 watts.   I keep the rigs in the crawl space under my Austin home where the ambient temperature is 30 degrees C - with no air conditioning.

I am very satisfied with these cards for mining.

I don't regret the card that I have, it was at an affordable price for me.  I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Thanks!

I also never regretted them. What I regret is that there is no eyefinity 5 these days. I run some multi monitor setups (trader workstations - that just starts with 3 screens) and it was a VERY low cost powerfull enough way to run 5 screens Wink If someone finds a stash of them, I take them Wink

next time you buy a card, at least read the outside of the package Wink It has one GPU.
Only the top end has a double card - not the mid range model Wink 5770 is a nice card - I wish you could still get eyefinity 5's, I would immediately buy half a dozen for my office - but it is not high end Wink
