Title: 5870 SDK/Drivers combination under W7 x64 Post by: hahahafr on September 17, 2012, 11:07:56 PM Hi,
I did these tests so far with a 5870:
What is the best combination as of today? Title: Re: 5870 SDK/Drivers combination under W7 x64 Post by: jjshabadoo on September 18, 2012, 01:43:07 AM It's still best to run 11.12 driver and 2.1 SDK
Now if you're using the newest version cgminer, I think you can get away with up to SDK 2.5 and still get a decent hash rate. I have 5970's at 900/300 running cgminer 2.74 with 11.12 and 2.1 getting around 400 mh/s maybe 410 on some depending on their temps. Oh and this is on windows 7 pro 64bit Title: Re: 5870 SDK/Drivers combination under W7 x64 Post by: crazyates on September 18, 2012, 02:30:40 AM Not much has changed for 5xxx cards in 2012. I always ran my 5870 with the newest drivers, but with 2.5 SDK. Some say 2.1 is faster, but I've always preferred 2.5 with -v 2 -w 256 -k phatk --gpu-mem 300.
Title: Re: 5870 SDK/Drivers combination under W7 x64 Post by: mb300sd on September 18, 2012, 02:31:50 AM I'm using latest drivers and SDK, bgfminer with diablo kernel.
820 MHz Core, 180 MHz RAM, 360MH/s per core Windows Server 2008 R2 This is on a 5970, should be the same on 5870.

You don't want to use the latest SDK with 5xxx cards. Title: Re: 5870 SDK/Drivers combination under W7 x64 Post by: hahahafr on September 18, 2012, 02:42:19 PM I actually tried to install SDK 2.1 and 11.12 but cgminer 2.7.5 didn't like and said that he couldn't find any usable gpu <opencl sdk not installed> even though 2 lines before it lists the opencl driver. So I'm back at 12.8 and 2.7.

So I'm back at 12.8 and 2.7. Try 2.5. I always liked 2.5 > 2.1 Title: Re: 5870 SDK/Drivers combination under W7 x64 Post by: segabtc on September 18, 2012, 05:31:02 PM LOL this is where the "ART" of mining comes into play. Some hardware likes 2.1 ( I use it on my hardware), and I have heard good things about sdk 2.5 but my thing is , if it aint broke, DONT F@#$ WITH IT! hhehehehe, anyway you need to try the sdk 2.5 and see if it can recognize the gpu's
