Thanks for the info, saves me a lot of time in trying.

Space is an issue for me, also electricity is not that cheap, so adding a gpu to the same mobo/cpu/ram always helps me squeeze a bit more Mhs/J.

So lets all take a minute to thank lodcrappo for putting out such a wonderful piece of software that without, we would be spending many more hours setting up our rigs and less time sitting back watching them hash away.

IMHO, you should probably donate more and argue less if you want a 64 bit version of BAMT. He has already said he would do it if paid.

Thanks as always..


Since you mentioned the 'I'll do it when you pay me to' offerings, reminded me I was going to update that..

We have 32btc and change donated since I committed to putting all future donations towards funding 79xx support.  I think there is another 30 btc committed.  So that puts us fairly close to having the bounty.  If 7970 prices come down or a few more donations come in, we should have it.  I don't pay very good attention so if there is a crazy deal on them somewhere and we have enough to get one, lemme know.

Can anyone here tell me how to overclock past the 840mhz limit in ATIcontrolpanel overdrive?  I am using unlocked 6950's.  Also how do i get past the 775Mhz limit on my 5850s?

On my windows machine, i can use msi afterburner to go beyond 900mhz.  Im BAMT i am limited to the default 840Mhz in the overdrive control.  I did try making the setting higher in the bamt.conf file, but this seemed to have no real effect on the clocks after restarting the session.

Also, is there a way to make new ATIOvedriveCtrl shortcut links and then have them autolaunch and load profiles upon bootup?  Something similar to making shortcuts on windows and purring them in startup?  Maybe there is a script to use?

I also noticed in my quad card rig, i do not get the pretty graphs on the desktop.  any advise to enable that?


Any tips or help is greatly appreciated to help me squeeze out that last bit of MH/s!

Yes, i am new to BAMT and just started with 0.5c.  I took some efforts to get everything booted and mining stable.   Now i just want to streamline and squeeze out a bit more performance.

I know my card have plenty of cooling headroom and MHz left...

don't use the ati control panel.


1 - Edit bamt.conf to have the settings you want. 
2 - Restart mining.
3 - There is no step 3

That is all.

I am using the default Phoenix2 config.  None of the settings in bamt.conf seem to take effect i.e. i get default clocks.  I am guesing i should try cgminer?

Thanks for the help.

PS  i sent a pm about pro tools

Using the default config, nothing is configured or enabled.  You have to set it up.   

Playing around with BAMT, I found a strange bug.

When I have a monitor plugged in, and I'm fooling around in BAMT, if I unplug the monitor, it makes BAMT crash. Here's what munin shows when I connect to the rig:


If I never plug a monitor in BAMT and I boot the rig, everything's fine. It only occurs when BAMT is started and I plug and unplug the monitor. If I want to plug back the monitor to check what happens in BAMT, it start working again without problems.

I use the 0.5c version of BAMT.

This confused the hell out of me for a while until I managed to figure it out as you have.
