I don't care what the hash rate says.
I'm not gonna take your word for it coz all you are doing is quoting what some program is telling you.
I care what the shares/minute say over time.
That can't lie. It has variance. As you just shown yourself with those 2 numbers.
But over a long period of time it will tell you what your hash rate really is.

You keep stating that the MH/s was blah regularly - which of course you'd expect it to always be consistent.
However to determine if it might be accurate is to ether look at a long term shares/minute or look at the shares/minute you get regularly over time.
As that one shows there, it varies by 5% easily (but it can vary a lot more over short a period of time)

Like I said, I've been running with these settings since Catalyst 11.7 came out. It was that update which gave the increase. I already had 2 workers mining seperate pools at a total hashrate of ~315 MH/s and after that update my hashrate shot up. I've already determined that it's accurate, I don't need to do so again. That is my hashrate and it is due to the second worker.
If you don't want to believe that, then that's your choice. If anyone wants a possible extra 50 MH/s though, all they have to do is test this themselves. You don't have to take my word for it.
Shares/minute (submitted - not calculated)
I not sure what trying to say. If you're asking for my shares/minute, then the answer is in the screenshots.
77 / 15 = 5.1333...
81 / 15 = 5.4

You seriously need to run for 24hours or your figures are quite MEANINGLESS.
Even at 24h it's possible to get a variance high enough to make it look better than it is.

I can't, I've got too many games to play and not enough time to play them. Sure, variance can make it look higher (or worse) but by around 50 MH/s on a consistent basis ever since Catayst 11.7 came out? I find that highly unlikely.

Just for verification, would you mind posting a screenshot? Not that I don't trust you, but those results are beyond anything I've ever seen for a 6870.
Here's some I posted in another thread the other day:

And here's another one I just took:
No my Icarus (with default bitstream) can hash at a MAX of ~380MH/s
At 5.4 shares/minute 400 shares is only 74minutes ....

I'm sorry, clearly I don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, I'm asking if you've tried running 2 workers on a single 5870 using Phoenix and phatk2.
6870 Northern Islands has 1120 stream processors of the same architecture as the 5870 which has 1600. Performance is linearly related to architecture * stream processors * Mhz. Therefore at exact same clocks, the 6870 should be (1120/1600) 0.7 * Mhash of a 5870. At 1000Mhz, the 5870 gets at best ~460Mhash. Therefore a number as high as 375 for a 6870 is ... highly unlikely.
What makes you think that a 5870 can only get ~460 MH/s? Have you tried running 2 workers on a single 5870? Maybe you'll get over 500 MH/s if you do.

Those are fake reports of guiminer I guess. Best to check your real hashrate is to use 24h stats on ozcoin. And could be as well that you're getting extra mhashes out of your cpu. Check your cpu usage.
Been there, done that. The results are legit. I've been using those settings for over 6 months and both guiminer and every pool I've mined at show the same results. I can't really check results over a 24 hour period as I'm not a dedicated miner, I'm a dedicated gamer.
Run a second worker on phoenix 1, and you get a major boost in Mh/s. Well, you do with 6870's anyway and someone else told me that they got a 40 Mh/s increase on a 5830 at stock settings.

You should find these results interesting I think.

One Day i open the Monitor and the last thing i see for a few second was 800Mh/s on the Guiminer. Then it fall back to ~660.
Huh, something doesnt quite add up, a 5850 at 850 doing 400Mh , either you run imaginary superman juice on that card or something doesnt add up, seems way to high for that clockspeed.
Under Desktop usage the cards have ~330Mh/s
That's very strange - running non graphically-demanding programs should not take 70 MH/s off...
