What do the 6970 cards do on PG? Any better than the 5870 or maybe worse since it's not optimized yet? Still 4 hours to go if you guys can crank them at PG for us. We're making up some lost ground in the last few hours...

Running stock settings, 1586 seconds per WU (~26 minutes) on the 6970.Originally Posted by DrPop

FYI, the DNETC MB says to abort any 1.32 ATI tasks. That will cause it to revert back to the 1.31 tasks since the new 1.32 app which was supposed to be faster was actually about 4 times slower.
dnetc takes about 58 min for the ATI_5k_gen2 1.31 tasks on the ATI 6970.
That's got to be app inefficiencies. ATI_5k_gen2 1.31 tasks take ~14 min on a 5870 @900MHz...
wow, MW takes 2 or 3 min to finish, depending on the WU
I increased the power control setting to +20 inthe powerTune option, and this decreased the time for a MW WU by about 1.3. from 2 or 3 min to 1:12 or 1:50. Next I will start to overclock

This equals about 165.000 points per day on MW, without OC if my math is correct??

Probably want to turn Power Tune off, especially when O/Cing that thing.
cant turn it off. but playing around with it and doing some overclocking, i got it running at 950 for the GPU and using default memory timings. increasing memory speed o the max in the ATI control panel only shaved 1 second off the compute time, so not worth it. and as for the powertune, i used GPUZ to check the gpu load, and found that using a setting of +3 was enough for it to not throttle the GPU at all, even with overclocking. with the fan speed at 55%, my temp is 86C. my times are now 1:03/1:35 for the 2 MW WUs types.
