Title: Help! ati 5850 and 6870 in same system Post by: comnam90 on June 10, 2011, 06:16:00 AM Help! I have a a ATI HD5850 currently in my system, and have just got a 6870.
I added the 6870 planning to running that as a separate miner in the same rig. However the 6870 isnt being picked up by guiminer nor is GPU-Z showing that the card is OpenCL enabled. Very confused! I knew I couldnt crossfire them, but thought they would run side by side loll Help if you can! would love to make this work!

BTW next time you should direct your question to Technical Support Forum. Title: Re: Help! ati 5850 and 6870 in same system Post by: comnam90 on June 10, 2011, 08:35:16 AM Thank you all very much for all your help! will test it out in the morning and report back the results!
