    HumbleBundle 3Dmark package

    I bought this on the last sale and saved a bunch of time testing overclocks. Don't forget to turn off the demos after you activate it.

    On my setup, the voltages bump up to 1.25 after going past 850 on the core...I have a Sapphire and XFX 7950 running on Linux. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? :confused:

    I think you'd need multiple instances of cgminer to get that going but I'm not sure if that's possible. Any reason why you want to do that? I just have it fail over when my primary pool goes down.

    Sorry, I thought you were going to mine LTC. I'm not familiar with bitcoin mining but with litecoin, it requires a massive amount of threads (20k+) to get any speed out of the 7x cards (from my experience). -Mark

    master noran, Can you give us an update once you get it up and running? 2GB would be an interesting test. On my boxes, 2x 7950s on a Athlon 4130 running CGMiner has 2GB allocated. 1x 7950 has 1.2GB allocated. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 2136 mark...

    I spent a few weeks googling and finally feel okay setting this stuff up. Mining on Xubuntu and Win7 here. The conf file makes it portable...I removed a bunch of stuff from the config but that should get you started with CGMiner. Do a cgminer -n to get the errors within the config :) Console...

    Not sure if you found a solution yet but a dummy dvi should fix that.

    Good to hear it worked for you too! Your card is much better than mine. I'm stuck at around 460khps. My Sapphire does a lot better than the XFX temp wise. Low 70s for the former (with a slight oc) and 85 for the latter.

    note, I ran into a similar problem. I added the second card and only increased my hashing speed a little bit (2nd card clocks were like 1/3 the speed and locked). I plugged a monitor cable into the second card, rebooted and all was well. Running Ubuntu here if it makes a difference.

    Whic proc for file server? k6-2 533 or k6-3 450?

    I suggest the K6-3 450Mhz because if my memory serves me right, the K6-2 series chips has off-chip Level 2 cache and the K6-3 have both Level 1 (64KB) & 2 (256KB) on-chip and Level 3 off chip. Performance difference between the 2 chips is like comparing an Athlon with L2 cache on and with it...

    3.2GHz Dual-Core Extreme Edition Reviews

    Well Intel has brought dual core out and it seems very interesting. Just the though of 4 logical processors gets me excited. I guess we'll have to wait and see how it fairs with legacy software as well as software optimized for it when it goes retail... Now as far as I know, the IEEE 754...

    What driver for BFG 6800 OC?

    Just thought I'd chime in. I am currently using the 71.84 Forceware drivers and my system has never been better. I play mostly HL2/CS:S, America's Army, and Fry Cry and everything is fine. The card overclocks to 354/770 and runs all day long at these settings (tested drivers a few nights back)...

    Athlon 64 3000+

    I bought mine last November along with an Asus A8V and it really isn't stable past 250*9 for 2250Mhz, no matter what voltage - tried up to 1.67volts with temps below 45c on load. Just a heads up, there is a broad range in the way these things o/c (like the guy above this post) but I'm still...

    Riva Tuner and VID monitoring ? for BFG6800 OC

    Mine stays at 1.2V though...I think it's a rivatuner thing (just my opinion). Also, I might be wrong here but I believe that the voltage should be 1.1 +0.1/0.3 on the 6800nu and your rivatuner is setup at 3bit VID. Just right click on the "Core VID, V" graph and goto "setup", "more" and...

    Just got my BFG 6800nu OC up and running but I have a question about temps

    I also just got my BFG 6800NU (from a GeForce2 GTS) and boy did my jaw drop when I saw what 3DMark2003 actually does it's benchies...My extra pipe and pixel shader also work fine. Did it right after installing the drivers, lol. As for the temps, when I watch on my second monitor as I played...
