Title: HD 6970 openCl issues Post by: sarahsliefie on June 10, 2011, 03:44:39 PM I am trying to get my 6970 to run openCL. It runs openGL without any problem, but I cannot get the CL working. I have tried every driver I can find. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. I have even tried installing just the Cl driver from AMD and that did not work. What do I need to do to get this working?
I have used GPU Caps Viewer to look at it and it confirms the OpenGL is working fine but it goes blank when I try to test the CL I am using XP 32 I have tried to install Plclbm.exe and GUIminer, but I get this error when I try to run them. “This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect" I get the same message when I open it with a .bat using this command "start /DC:\bitcoins\pfile poclbm.exe --user=***** --pass=***** --device=0" Title: Re: HD 6970 openCl issues Post by: heavyb on June 10, 2011, 03:47:51 PM i have been having this same problem on my 6970 and 6870. I install the amd stream driver, but pclbm gui miner will not recognize that my cards have the driver.
Title: Re: HD 6970 openCl issues Post by: [Coins!] on June 10, 2011, 04:40:07 PM Try using the gui miner instead of command lines.
There is a link in this forum to this program, it works perfectly provided you use the right flags (-v -w128) Title: Re: HD 6970 openCl issues Post by: heavyb on June 10, 2011, 05:03:49 PM fixed the problem, download catalyst control center 11.3, the one that comes with the video cards does not work correctly for some reason. I installed 11.3 and it instantly recognized my card.

I would happly give .5Bc to anyone who can answer this problem. Title: Re: HD 6970 openCl issues Post by: heavyb on June 10, 2011, 07:28:43 PM hmm, 11.3 cleared the problem right up for me! are you sure you installed the correct opencl for your opperating system/graphics card?
Title: Re: HD 6970 openCl issues Post by: fasteddie on June 10, 2011, 08:58:18 PM Does GPU-Z show OpenCL support on your current cards? Did you try poclbm.exe instead of GUIminer?

Install AMD APP SDK 2.4 (not ATI Stream SDK 2.1 !) for your card 3. remove old config (poclbm.ini) and create new settings Title: Re: HD 6970 openCl issues Post by: sarahsliefie on June 11, 2011, 03:10:10 AM I have tried AMD APP SDK 2.4. no change
Here is a screen shot of the error message. This comes up with GUIminer or poclbm.exe http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/251160_2041777853999_1530903905_32366898_117027_n.jpg Here is the GPU Caps Viewer http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/254805_2041779094030_1530903905_32366900_3333921_n.jpg |
