Hello, how can I know if my ATI 5870 is doing well in Boinc ?.
Right now I'm in three projects: SETI, Milkyway and World Community Grid.

Regards.

Go here http://www.guru3d.com/files_tags/gpu_z_download.html

and download that file and run it, it will tell you all about your gpu on the first tab and the second tab will tell you about how your gpu is running. It will give you the gpu temp and fan speed, even the load on your gpu as you crunch units. I also have some 5870's but they are not crunching any of the same projects you are, I am crunching here at MilkyWay but only with my cpu's right now. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!!

thanks for the response mikey, I used the GPU-Z and the temp is almost at idle, the GPU load is at most 20%, so I think is it not using all the power it has.

That would seem to be true, have you ever used an app_info.xml file before? Or even an app_config.xml file? With one you could possibly run two units at the same time, increasing your output, but also raising the temps some. Have you ever gone into the Boinc Manager, down by the clock, and looked at the settings? If not there are several tweaks that might also help.
