im using cat 11.4 beta with steam sdk 2.4

clock 870/1250
getting 325000 khash/s

you can find the driver here http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Catalyst114earlypreview.aspx

Hmm just lost 10 mhash/s using these newer versions. Man this is frustrating.
So far the best results I have got at my current clocks (1000/300) is 275 mhash/s with SDK2.1 and 10.7 Drivers...

What version of card do you have?

For 5000 series card sdk below 2.3 only works good.

The best seems 10.12 or 10.11 with 2.1 as said before.
The 11.4 & 2.4 preview akka BETA works well with 6000 series.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ati-catalyst-driver-114-app-sdk-24-beta-4493

Lowering memory below 300 Mhz actually decreases hash/s & freezes windows.
Also, it seems there is some kind of formula there between memory frequency & core frequency, it seems in the form of core clk =3(3. Huh

??) x mem clk which gives the Maximum hash/s
I get Maximum 280 Mhash/s at 1038 core clk & 360-370 mem clk.
Seems it differ for everyone. Please try increasing mem clk every 5-10 mhz while mining in back & see the change in hash/s & Please also post it, if u can able to get any max hash/s at any particular frequency while keep the core clk at max with out freezing.

lowering mem clk reduces TEMP up to 10C to me.

you can increase the core clk up to <1040 with out freezing. even 1041 freezes after some time.
i got freezing at 1047 after 1-2 hours mining & not touching pc

Looks like I was wrong with what I posted about actually, I'm running catalyst 11.2.

Yes, lowering your mem clock too low will freeze the card. I think it depends on how lucky you are. I can go as low as 250mhz, but any lower will start artifacting even the windows desktop and 225 will freeze it.

I got it sorted out, thanks, I'll keep it at 300 for now.

How do you change the SDK?

I always install the SDK separately from the drivers... then in CCleane you can uninstall them.

You can also switch sdk's without uninstalling the drivers (doesn't even need a reboot) if you had installed them completely separately.

I dropped down to 10.7 and SDK 2.2 and I got an increase of only 2-5 mhash/s , not really what I was hoping for, going to try SDK 2.1 and if no increase I will stick with my original config. If you can check what version of driver you have I would appreciate it , thanks.

Update: Ok now I uninstalled 2.2 and installed 2.1 and actually see a decent increase, I am up to 270 mhash/s , so sdk 2.1 seems the best, but driver wise there are so many I can be here forever trying them all, anyone have an idea? I am using 10.7 right now.

Thanks in advance, if anyone could help I really appreciate it. Grin

Try 10.12 or 10.11, Most says for 5000 series this gives max hash/s

How do you change the SDK?

You have to uninstall SDK through add/remove pgms if in windows until 2.2
ATI stream sdk 2.x
& also delete the folder in C:\ATI

If 2.3 then you can use driver installer itself, by running it & selecting uninstall & can remove what u don't want & can then again run 11.4 driver to install 2.4

5870 here. I have it clocked at 980 core, 300 mem for mining. Temps are around the same as non-overclocked if you set the mem clock that low. I get around 340-380mhash with this. Using flags -v -w128, AMD APP 2.2, catalysm 10.somethingorother.

~~I tried to lower the the mem to 400 and it froze up.~~

Ok I changed everything except app version and driver version to exactly the same as you and I am getting 255 mhash/s

You think changing driver and app version will push me up anymore?

So i just booted up a used 5830...

800/1000 (Stock Speeds)
SDK 2.3
Catalyst 11.2
POCLBM -f 60 -v
65 C
200 mhash/s

Now I have a few ideas on how to pull some more out but before I start screwing around I thought maybe someone could share their settings and experience with this particular series of cards and have any advice for me....

lol I did everything to squeeze 80 mhash/s out of my 4850 and to boot this guy up and immediately see 200 mhash felt pretty good.

If anyone is wondering I paid $150 for the card , I am going to sell the 4850 on Ebay for somewhere between $40-$60 (still have original packaging and everything) , so basically I spent $100 , not bad right?
