Slow performance on traditional des

Hello,

I have poor performance on traditional DES encryption. Cards are AMD Radeon 7900 HD series:

Benchmarks here show that I should be getting KH/s not plain H/s:

The speed is OK, more or less.

36922 * 1096 = 40466 KH/s

You should be able to get around 60, try -n 160 -u 1024

Atom,

Ah, that explains it then. With your suggested options I'm getting this much - looks OK?

Thats very good for the first card, but not for the 2nd. Looks like GPU bios clocked it down due to heat.

Just an update - it seems to have stabilised at:

Speed.GPU.#1...: 74013 H/s
Speed.GPU.#2...: 74011 H/s
Speed.GPU.#*...: 148.0 kH/s
