I think AMD has tweak some settings toward 7970.

6970 & 6990 with Freq/Mem as 920/795
DriverSDKPerformance
11.112.5410~413
12.32.6410~413
12.42.7410~413

7970 with Freq/Mem as 1125/975
DriverSDKPerformance
12.32.6660~666
12.42.7655~661

Tested on Linux and ATi Radeon HD 5850. AMD APP SDK 2.7 in system with Catalyst 12.4 was installed manually. Cg Miner 2.4.1. Core Peak - 750 MHz, Memory Peak - 250 MHz.

Driver  SDK  Perfomance

12.1     2.6   301.9 Mh/s
12.4     2.7   298.5 Mh/s
11.11   2.5   307 Mh/s

I also use CGMiner. What kernel was this? Phatk? It was my impression that if you have to use 2.6 on a 58xx card, diablo was better than phatk.

The fact that it doesn't give amazing results on a 58xx cards doesn't surprise me, and it's kinda why I havn't upgraded myself. Anyone with a 7xxx card tried it out?
