Been running this card for a month trying to pin the RAC, but its been hard with the WU server having problems keeping this card and a 4870 fed. Its looking to me a daily rate of 130,000 avg? Does anyone else have the card and can give me some feedback I was looking for a bigger boost I think my old 4870 gave me 90k.

Thanks,

I'd say it's at least 200K, my 2x5850's are doing 300K~330K together depending on the day.

Thanks,

RAC means virtually nothing. It can be affected by all kinds of variables. Your 6970 is doing about 73 seconds for a 220 credit WU. Since there's 86,400 seconds in a day your 6970 should do about 260,000 credits/day if it had WUs to run continuously. BTW, you're running BOINC v6.12.8. It's badly flawed. I'd install v6.12.12 if I were you. Regards...

Thanks Beyond and loekaodas, It was the client I went from 109 sec to 74 sec, just by updating the client. Boy I wouldn't think it would affect it like that.

your help was appreciated.
