Title: guiminer - only CPU miner shows up
Post by: economicsjunkie on July 06, 2011, 06:58:45 AM
- I am running a windows 2003 server with a ATI Radeon 7000

- I installed the "OpenCL Driver" from http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_xp-32.aspx

- When I launch guiminer.exe the only OpenCL device I see is this:

[0-0] Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.0

Is this what I should be seeing or should there be a GPU in the options as well?

If so, how can I make it appear?

Ah great! Which of those do you think I should download, given that I have Windows Server 2003 x32 ?

oh wow...uhm...you can try the XP version. That would be the best bet or try running it in compatibility mode.

v 2.1 was installed successfully.

But when I start guiminer it still gives me the same option under Device.

try 2.3 and when you open AMD APP Kernal Analyzer in the top right courner it will say object code then under it will say format with a drop down list. set it to your gpu card.

wow crap im retarted, ATi Radeon 7000 (03/22/2002)

Your card is old. I do not see that it has Open CL support..

AMD Radeon™ HD 6990 Graphics

Best one for mining currently.
