Title: Okay. What is Stream (APP) SDK for? Post by: OCedHrt on June 11, 2011, 07:14:56 PM I don't have it installed and GPU mining on my ATI 4850 is working - although my card heats up and then drops to lowest clocks.
Title: Re: Okay. What is Stream (APP) SDK for? Post by: Lightspeed on June 11, 2011, 07:17:58 PM ATI Stream is essentially their implementation of opencl - the driver that allows you to mine on your ATI GPU
the SDK is refered to because you can download 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 - 2.1 being the fastest by far install 11-5 drivers without ati stream 2.4 - or goto uninstall programs -> catalyst manage/change -> uninstall ATI Stream 2.4/etc download and install 2.1 easy Title: Re: Okay.

Post by: OCedHrt on June 11, 2011, 07:25:12 PM Thanks for the answer. I don't think it matters for me - my card hits 110C and it downclocks to 500/750.

up the fan speed to a fixed max of 60 or 80% Title: Re: Okay. What is Stream (APP) SDK for?

I have better results than anything else with 2.4 + phatk kernel. So for me, the 2.4 is the fastest. Title: Re: Okay. What is Stream (APP) SDK for? Post by: Lightspeed on June 11, 2011, 07:39:47 PM whats the difference between poclbm -v -w 128, with 2.1 vs the phatk kernel? and what settings do you use ?

Let me try a different gpu miner. I don't get such high temps using F@H for GPU though. Title: Re: Okay. What is Stream (APP) SDK for?

Im using phoenix with the phatk kernel with 2.4. Phatk is designed for the 2.4 stack, and for me is faster than any other combination. I use VECTOR IBF_INT AGRESSION=12 WORKSIZE=256 Worksize=128 worked better at stock speed and light overclock, but when I overclocked over 1000MHz it was better workize=256. Title: Re: Okay.

Vector slows down hashing on my 4850. I will try BFI_INT but I think it may be the same. Recommendations I read are that BFI_INT is for 5xxx+. Also optimum worksize for 4850 seems to be 64. |
