It has been roughly 9-10 hours since it has been down. I notice this last night and thought they were just doing maintenance.

Was there a slow down today or something? I originally had only my single 6970 mining on BTC Guild then today I decided to add my second 6970 but it seems my Bitcoins earned is lower then that of a single 6970 from the last two days.

Re: TradeHill Discussion Thread

You're cashing out half a bitcoin worth of USD via moneypak? You know those cost $10 on Tradehill correct?

Edit: In terms of speed, I wouldn't expect a moneypak to be instant. In order to get one, someone who works for TradeHill must physically go buy one, then copy the code to you. It isn't something you can get online.
I have more bitcions but I wanted to see how reliable TradeHIll is so basically I was testing out the system before giving them more of my money. It has been 24 hours since I have requested my MoneyPak and so far nothing. I just hope that this is not a scam but they are backlogged. However they still havent' responded to my email.

Re: 69xx Hashrate (am I stupid?)

Hey, my 6970 is oc'd to 975/333 at stock voltage. I get about 410 mh/s and it runs about 78ish degrees max. Is your card an XFX as I've heard of issues with not getting as high as overclocks due to the poor fan. And I use -v -w128 -f0 on my 6970 on GUIMiner.

Edit: Mine is a Sapphire 6970.
I don't understand why people tone down their memory. with 900/690(1380) and I'm getting 400 mh/s

I had to put all PCI-e slots into x1 mode in BIOS on one of my P67 rigs. Otherwise it would say the video BIOS wasn't invoked. After that 4 cards worked.
That's because P67 without the NF200 chip has a limited bandwith compare to X58.

Ok here is my problem:

I tested mining on any 58xx 5970 and now 69xx I can get.
But the 69xx are so fuxxing slow.
What people say in the wiki (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison) isn't what I get.

My 6950 does 330Mh/s my 6970 does 356Mh/s and this is clockt to 930Mhz.
My test-setup is Win7 with catalyst 11.5 and GUI-Miner.

In the wiki they all are using vectors, that works on my 5xxx cards but my 69xx all slow down if I enable vectors. Is the a problem with poclbm2011.beta4, are they stupid or am I?  Roll Eyes

Thx
Without using the -v -w128 flags I got the same speeds.

I get the POST code error 2b when trying to boot with an Ati HD5870.(graphic card is from ATI not other company)
My system is:Gigabyte GA-EX58-EXTREME, I7-920, 6GB Corsair DDR3 ram and PSU is Corsair 620HX.
I have tried BIOS version F12 and F13Q and still the same error.

I have tested the graphic card on another system and it boots ok. With a 500w noname PSU.

Any help/suggestions?Thank you

P.S. Error 2B means "Invoke video BIOS" (from MB manual)
Wow this is a rare error to see. I assume you made sure that the card was all the way in right? Did you reset the entire board by turning off the powersupply then taking the battery off?

i restored the bios to defaults and it still wont boot up.  I tried it like that with and without the monitor plugged in twice and with 2 different ones.  Anything else anyone can think of to do?
Thanks for all your help!
Was there any thing in the BIOS for the second PCI-E Slot or anything for it. I swear there was something about it before. Also look at the slot, any debris in it?

it still oc better, have more vram for gaming, and is quiet (believe me, those shapphire 1GB are LOUD)
I don't disagree with that, I just disagree with shader unlock with the original poster wanted a lot it seemed. Right now the 6950 are a toss up with a lot of newer ones not being able to unlock. Also bios switch is use to tell reference design, one of the key parts is the actual core itself. I own the DCIi and TWin Frozr 6950 and love them better then my stock 6970

Okay, so unlock is not guaranteed in both cards but currently I can buy the ASUS 1GB DCII cheaper than the 1GB Sapphire.
So I guess Asus is better, no ?
Definitely! Better cooling and overall design then that of the sapphire. 2GB shouldn't matter for mining but if you plan to use it later on for gaming then it might matter depending on resolution

I just got a good deal on ASUS EAH6950 DCII/2DI4S/1GD5 (http://mostbg.com/most/NormalImage.aspx?itemid=44146)
This one have 2 fans and currently seems to be my favourite Smiley Any feedback on this model ?

take it

that is exactly what i have
unlock is easy and card is quiet and cool (but it don't overclock too well, 860 is all i can get without voltage inctease)
Unlock isn't guranteed...especially with newer models.....

you can't unlock shaders in those 1GB versions, they lack bios switch and bios is reported as read only (i check many oc forums, tried -f switch with ati flasher etc.)

http://www.overclock.net/amd-ati/996523-just-unlocked-powercolor-hd-6950-1gb.html
They are more rare/harder to unlock.

I seen some unlock and I seen some that haven't been able to unlock. However these cards do overclock pretty well so you do get speed in return and lower fan noise!

im not sure i know how to do that.  would that restore process be through the boot-up access or some other way?
I use to have the same board and for the love of me I can't remember the settings in it! It is an option in the BIOS to restore defaults or something similar like that near where you save the bios settings. Yes it will reset everything including boot-up order. There is also something else, look around and see if you find any setting for PCI-E slots.

Snow Leopard 10.6.7
4GB of DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 320M

I'm using my CPU right now, only getting .14 mhash / s or 1400 khash / s...is there any way to get more out of this machine?
I would say forget it, the hardware is so slow on this for such task. I know I own almost the same setup.

Ok I tried to boot with the one card in the second slot and it wouldnt work.  no beep no nothing Sad  does this mean a bios issue?
Hmm thought that might happen. Did you try to restore the BIOS to defaults already?

How about if I flash a BIOS with unlockable shaders on them ?
The issue here is if the card is able to unlock. If it cant unlock then flashing it with the BIOS is no use and may cause more harm.
