I've read numerous reports that TriXX is bugged to only allow voltage adjustment on one card instead of both.  Unsure about clockspeed/fanspeed.

Is it able to tweak a second card without having to crossfire yet?

The most I can get is 215 Mhash out of my 5830.
Should I be using TRIXX or Afterburner or what?
Thx

5830 - 282 MH/s

I've got two machines running 4 5830s and have settled on 950MHz core, 300MHz Memory.  With -w256 I get 288 Mhash/sec.  I've seen over 300 Mhash/sec with 985,300 but not enough stability.  Has anyone tried running lower voltage to this card?  I saw an entry in the hardware comparison that someone's doing 1.125v instead of 1.163 which seems like a nice way to keep power usage down and maybe overclock a little further.  But then... I may have reached the reasonable limit for what these cards can do with any degree of reliability.

Thank you for reminding me to update that

I bumped it up to 950 MHz and now I'm getting 290 MH/s with the monitor plugged in, 293 MH/s with it unplugged.

Just like 5870s these things scale with temperature, so if you guys can keep them cool, they clock better.

Just wanted to let you guys know that Sapphire recently patched TriXX to support voltage tweaks to the 5830's we all just got from newegg!

Please post your previous best hashrate on stock voltage, and your new best if you decide to try voltage tweaking!
