The dropoff was caused by someone moving like 17000 bitcoins yesterday. There was also a problem with dwolla xfers to/from mtgox that likely didn't help anything.
hiho hiho its off to mining i go.
i guess im up and running on btcguild. should i also run on slush?
5870 2gb ~350 Mhash
As opposed to my 6950's only 330 Mhash/s, with a 5% clock increase.
Yes, it's having that 5th shader processor that gives the 5xxx series the advantage over 6xxx. Here's to hoping 28nm sees AMD cramming even more shader clusters on card and not going the nVidia route of fewer beefier units.
Right now if you mine with it you will make more money than you will sell it for. You could even mine 3 weeks, profit, then sell it off.
Gamer PC w/ 3x5830 2x mining 100% at -f1, other at -f128 so as to allow for gaming/desktop acceleration
This did not work so well. The design of the motherboard doesn't allow for gaps with 3 double slot video cards. I had to down-clock to 600mhz to keep the middle card below 90C, but as a result my hash rate with 3 under-clock cards was about the same as I could get with 2 over-clocked cards. I tried adding a fan directly over the middle cards but that wasn't enough, so I simply removed the middle card and went back to full OC speed.
So now I have a stray 5830 which needs a home, I am going to see if I can use it in an unused Dell I have sitting around, though I have doubts about the power supply.
Know how to make more money? Turn your PC off for that hour.

How does everyone feel about a 5830 and a 5850 backed by a ~1 year old 550w OCZ Fatality PSU?? Think I'd be okay for 24/7 mining? At least for a few months until I'm back stateside with Newegg access?!
so if i have bitcoins, whats the best way to turn that into cash OR amazon payments/GC?
id like to know that

Mtgox. Sell your coins and use the exchange services there.
Why not try PCIe ribbons? People are doing that all over the place from what I've seen.
