...you did NOT do these calculations yourself before starting to mine?!
the profit margin of bitcoin mining did not going up as much as the exchange rate has, so yes, this needs a price adjustment
If you look at the profit per 100MH/s, the price would rather go up than down...

Awesome site, I'm apparently making a lot more than I initially thought, and the yield is majorly more stable than I first thought...

BTW, Syke, I couldn't reproduce your numbers with Phoenix. I obtained 664 Mhash/s, which is slightly lower than reeses.
Exactly 
More seriously, regardless of the BTC/USD exchange rate, my miner still produces 6.3% more Bitcoins than the 2nd fastest miner, so it makes sense for my price to be relative to the Bitcoin instead of the Dollar.
(Feels weird to say "the Bitcoin").

The price is exactly the same as always, only the dollar fell against the bitcoin recently... 
the price is now OVER 2500$++ for this? I find that ridiculous. needs another price adjustment
I have 3 ATI 5970's with standard clock. It is doing 1704 Mhashes/second
681 with stock everything. 830 MH/s, etc.
Is this 681 Mhash/s with or without memory downclocking?
I didn't have the optimal Phoenix settings before. And I was rounding down. Here's an actual shot:
681.06
681.06
I optimized my Phoenix settings for my 6990 and installed the new 11.4 driver. At stock card settings I now get 680 MH/s, which compares very favorably with your 683 MH/s using 11.3. I have yet to try the downgrade to 11.1 trick.
Is 680 Mhash/s rounded up by a few Mhash/s?
Are you saying that you, just now, improved your performance from 668 Mhash/s (as you claimed in your previous posts: "670 Mhash/s" minus the "2 Mhash/s from memory downclocking") up to 680 Mhash/s, this time without memory downclocking?

I would be interested in a 5970 optimized miner, and I know there is such a thing

Thanks reeses for these very precise numbers, and quality of the report. (Compared to Syke, I don't know if he was rounding up to 670 Mhash/s, and he doesn't seem 100% sure of the "2 Mhash/s" impact of memory downclocking).
I assume your numbers are without memory clock or voltage changes, right? If yes, I will update my claim to 708/666 = 6.3% faster than Phoenix as I want to convey exact numbers.

I am certaintly interested in the feedback that you guys give me about pricing, thanks. Predicting the demand curve for a given price is certainly not trivial. As nster said, pricing it too low may cause it to be leaked and pirated. I am not going to divulge how many buyers have purchased hdminer so far, but I do think that 350 BTC is a right balance at this moment.
Syke: it is the first time I hear 670 Mhahs/s at 830 MHz. Did you modify other hw settings such as memory clock, memory voltage, gpu voltage?

I do however think that the price adjustment was not enough... going from 320$ to over 1000$ is silly
I reasonable price would be anything between 100 and 200 BTC. I could see it working better at 150 BTC
I think I got 2 extra MH/s from downclocking the memory. Everything else is stock.
