Title: ATI Radeon HD4650 Not Mining?
Post by: apandhi on June 19, 2011, 06:35:02 PM
Hey Guys, I want to start mining abit but I cant seem to get my graphics card to work. I have a Saphire Radeon HD4650 and have installed the AMD SDK for OpenCL. I am able to cpu mine, but my gpu doesn't come up as a device in guiMiner.

Sorry, Im kinda new at the whole bitcoin mining thing. I regret not buying a bunch of bitcoins when the price dropped to ~$1 just a few minutes ago :(

That price and today's trades got rolled back due to a security compromise at Mt. Gox. Someone stole those bitcoins and unloaded them.

As for why your 4650 won't mine, what operating system, miner and flags are you using?

Im running windows 7 64x, and guiMiner. No extra flags. all that shows up is my CPU

Try an older version of the Stream SDK. With some tricky googling you can get a hold of 2.1 (earliest OpenCL support iirc). The 4650 is an older card and may not support APP 2.4.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and GPU Caps Viewer says that my GPU does not have OpenCL Support. But it should considering its a 4650 which is on the Mining Hardware Comparison wiki

Any ideas?
