I'm using a XFX HD7870 for bitcoin mining. This runs the GPU at 99% of capacity. The problem is, after a seemingly random amount of time, the card will idle down to 2D clocks. If I stop/restart the miner, the card speeds up again. I want to prevent the idling in the first place.
I've checked all power settings. After some Googling, I forced AA on in the drivers, have left GPU-Z and/or Afterburning running, to no definite effect.
I'd like to know if there's a surefire way to prevent the card from idling.
One possibility is a connection issue with the bitcoin miner, which I am investigating concurrently; making sure the card is getting work.
