If you want you can send me the Bitcoins you collected.

Don't forget that to get this results the voltage is over 250W vs the 5870 190w.

Doesn't matter since their benchmark is bogus. None of the numbers are right, and they apparently couldn't even get the miner to produce valid shares.

BULL fcking shiet!

Show me how the 5870 stock MH/s is wrong? Within a tolerance error, 376 was spot on

Dont act like your miner is a magic.

Well as hopefull one could be with the new Tech from AMD, results like the above make me think that one should pickup some of these babies.

http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX32649 at $669 each seems tempting lol.

Yuck. Get a used 5970 for half that price (or less).

Yeah, but what if this thing can do 700-800 mhash/sec overclocked?

I'm sure Tom's hardware just pulled 414.7 MH/s right out of their ass!

I never go to Tom's Hardware, but if the 7970 can do 500MH/s or more I'll never ever go there.

Heh, after they got caught taking bribes from Intel to make AMD look bad back in the K6/K7 days, they appeared on my permanent shit list. I do not trust a damned thing they say, ever.

Yes, the same place they magically pulled their tuned-for-79xx miner from.

just donated 0.000001 to the cause..... hope it helps, i think the transaction fee was over 1000 times that but there's only so much to go around right?

I use cgminer which has a built in donation option that I've chosen to enable. The Dev gets a regular percentage of all my mining activity. Eat away.

I guess I'm not in such a desperate rush to get results for this card when its just going to happen naturally anyway. Diablo is just some random on the inernet to me, but if others are desperate enough to buy him a new card, then good for him I suppose.

Happy Christmas.

No offence, but no I'm not going to help buy you a free video card.

Have you mined Bitcoin on your GPU before? Did you write your own mining software from scratch, or did you use one that a skilled developer wrote for you? Did you pay them?

Quote from: simonk83 on December 24, 2011, 06:46:41 PM

Anyone could have made this thread and said the same thing (and I've never used DiabloMiner so that doesn't particularly sway me).

Yes. Anyone could have. Anyone can write a GPU miner. My grandma has written two of them. Blindfolded.

Quote from: simonk83 on December 24, 2011, 06:46:41 PM

I'm quite happy to wait for release when we'll get a million reviews from people who buy the cards on this forum anyway.

Yes. The card will be released, people will buy them, and then all mining software will magically just start working with the new architecture. Honest.

This type of mentality pisses me off. If you head over to a place like xda-developers (Android phone developers forums), you'll find people who regularly kick in a few bucks to a skilled developer to get them a phone because they'd love to see a decent ROM made for their device. A skilled developer makes a similar post on the Bitcoin forums and people just shit on him. If you're currently mining and you've made a fair donation to the dev who wrote your miner, I'll gladly eat crow. Otherwise, do the community a favor and stop posting selfish crap like this.

The discussion of DiabloD3's conflict of interest in sticking this post has been removed for being off-topic. I have forwarded the concerns to theymos for evaluation. If you would like to continue that discussion, please do so in Meta.

I do NOT want to keep deleting off-topic posts in this thread. Next person who posts off-topic will be referred to theymos to be banned. If you want to complain about this being a sticky, there is a post in Meta for that. Here, I'll even link it:

Or contact the manufacturer with your credentials ask them for a card for evaluation and benchmarking purposes, go through their verification process and receive one shipped directly from them. Though your reviews and results into a coherent and consistent blog, get several hundred thousand subscribers and get similar cards from lots of manufacturers, along with mobo's, psu's and all sorts of other goodies for evaluation.

It worked for Tom's Hardware, and is a very traditional path to working with pre-release evaluation copies of products.

Edit: Also, their testing methodology is bullshit. From my calculations, a 5870 should be around 390 mhash at stock.

My 5870 with stock speeds (875/1225) and ATI 11.12 ~375MHash

If the BTC community buys me a 7970, I will benchmark and tune DiabloMiner and cgminer for it. No one has released valid benchmark numbers, and I'm tired of the bullshit, and I expect everyone else is too.

Send BTC to 1DbeWKCxnVCt3sRaSAmZLoboqr8pVyFzP1 and help make this happen.

..............
Your asking the community to buy you a brandnew Top of the line (most likely not even out on the market yet) video card.

Read the article, they say shit like "bitmining" and "server wouldn't verify so we had to solo mine". I have no clue what they were smoking, but all I wanted was answers like which miner they used, what args they used with it, and etc etc.

tl;dr: fucking mass media, how does it work

Edit: Also, their testing methodology is bullshit. From my calculations, a 5870 should be around 390 mhash at stock.

The 7970 doesn't produce valid shares with any miner out right now.
