Using a Sapphire 5830 with a Sapphire E-350 ITX mobo, overall system power consumption for 297-300 GHash is 220 w at 1000/300. Was getting some weird crashes when doing this while using Firefox Nightly but I switched to IE and that seems to have stopped.
how did you guys set the memory clock to 300?
i've he 5850 extreme (3of them) and cant find a tool to set the 300mhz for all of them... trixx does the trick for jus one card and afterburner doesn't change the mhz below 900.
any help would be awesome... right niw i get 275mhash, need more:-)

very easy to do
All my 5870s are at 300 and it saves quite a bit on power and also the cards run cooler...

I'm now getting 405 mh/s on my 5870 @ 975/300 at stock voltage since the miners have been updated.
362.5 Mhash/core at 815/300 on 5970 at stock voltage - Phoenix 1.3
I'm wondering what the 5850 and 5870 look like with the new miners to do a bit of a cost/benefit analysis...the 5830 set me back a whopping $109, and that was brand new from Newegg. I'm sure I could have gotten a used one for half of that, and that could save me a lot of money setting up mining rigs. Power is kind of a moot point, since I pay like 4 cents a kW.
Does anyone else have some stats to post?
5850 with 5870 BIOS getting 360 Mh/s @ 900/300 on Ubuntu 10.10
I've getting more than 2:1 ratio of Mh/s to USD paid for a used card.
350 Mhash per core on a 5970 Running at 850 Mhz
Gotta love BFI_INT!!

Just wanted to give a quick update for everyone, and see what kind of improvements the 58xx series cards have had with the new BFI_INT support on the mining side. I've actually gotten some pretty surprising results with this config:
1 x XFX 5830 HD 1GB
Windows 7 64 bit
Catalyst 10.7 and SDK 2.1
Currently clocked at 970MHz Core, 390MHz Memory
Running Phoenix Miner with askrate=10 -k poclbm VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP AGGRESSION=7 DEVICE=1
Temps ~ 70 - 74°C w/fans at 90%
~ 288 - 290 MHash/sec while playing music in iTunes and posting this in Firefox with 3 tabs open

Just thought I'd add if any of you guys are in the UK and looking for a cheap card ebuyer are now doing the xfx HD5830 xxx edition for £83. I've just ordered a couple

I'm looking for a cheap 5970 from..anywhere
Oh won't the GPU gods please deliver!
Do they even exist ? I did find one on google shopping for £200 but when you click the link you get out of stock not surprisingly
But yerrr good luck with that Thanks, same to you too. I've been looking at local classifieds sites but so far nothing sub $499. In my opinion paying $500 for this card given today's difficulty level is not worth it. Ideally I think $300 is a fair price to pay for a lightly used card, but doubt I'll find one for that price anytime soon. The longer it takes me to find a good deal the less worthwhile it will become due to increasing difficulty (of mining).

2 things, one desktop lag. If running with -f1 flag.
second your TEMP is too high, run fan at 100% if u don't mind sound & don't want to burn card., but with out over clock, its rare.

I answered BEFORE he said about TEMP. If you want to HELP, GIVE SOLUTION, instead of replying EVERYONES post & finding fault in it.
69C is too high!? No way. I disagree. I'm sure others would too.
If you paid attention carefully to what I posted you would realize that I AM and WAS giving solutions/suggestions.
Second what I think happened is I though your response was targetted at one of the people who posted having 77C or 69C temps thus my response.
Please quote the person to whom you're responding instead of blind posting. It really can prevent confusion.
You paying attention very carefully, Thats why you can able to reply like this way, since I replied to a post 2 hours before, then the very next post by zzzd after 2 hours of my reply, Instead of replying zzzd post, i confused & targeted some one else post.
Hmm, that's odd cause I run my card at 300 and I've noticed no graphical glitches whatsoever. Granted I did not try gaming at this mem clock nor will I. But you'd think if this was affecting the 5870 it should also affect the 5970 which is nothing more than two 5870s in CrossFire config.
Just because it happens to some cards doesn't mean it will happen to all (some cards overclock better, some underclock better). I get lines with 2 of my 5870s when I take the memory down to 300. It doesn't bother me at all though because it increases the hash rate and they are only used for mining with dummy plugs.

I put an accelero on my card and never hit higher than 57C at full load.
Well yeah but that's one monster cooling solution. My 5970 has one of them..came stock. At full load the card sits at 68 C, and that's with the fan at only 36%!!! If I crank up the fan to 60 it lowers the temps to the 60 - 61 range for both cores...

the lines show up at normal settings and when underclocked or overclocked. they seem to just show up when the card is at high usage nonstop for a few hours.
