I have set the gpu loop to n 32 u 320.
Are these settings correct/acceptable or can I squeeze some more power out of the gpu's?

Your -n/-u values do not make any sense. Just use -w 3 instead.

You should be getting around 165 kH/s WPA from the 5970 (more if overclocked) so if you get that using -w 3 then you're done.

thank you there is a slight improvement -
the values were taken from another thread regarding the hd79990.

Yes that is what I thought but I am no where near it even with the - w 3

Is it possible that because I am piping another exe to it that this may slow the speed down?

Yeah, the 165 kH/s rate is for brute force -a 3 mode. Other modes may be slower.
