Fortunately, with the Catalyst 11.6, you can overclock beyond the BIOS limits under Linux now.


What? Is this true?

idk I just do this

Code:
aticonfig --adapter=all --od-setclocks 1337,900

it gets really hot. so you might need some risers.

In Linux, you cannot easily overclock the GPU core above BIOS limits. Using MSI Afterburner in Windows, its a click of mouse.

Most likely you will notice little to no difference. Even if you gain a few mh/s, you're likely to have lost more profit during the downtime while installing a Linux OS and a miner than you're going to earn from the extra mh/s.

That's what I thought. I'd have to switch in the mornings before I leave home to Linux.

I'd like to know if I'd get more Mhashes/s on Linux and if yes which distributon + miner?

Meh, idk, Linux is just way easier for me. No dummy plugs or anything.
