Title: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: rmhuntley on August 07, 2013, 06:14:10 AM I picked up an Asus Radeon 5850 today, and am trying to get it configured. What drivers have ppl had the best luck mining with?
Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: HellDiverUK on August 07, 2013, 06:30:57 AM 12.8 reference drivers.
Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: rmhuntley on August 07, 2013, 08:14:08 AM Tried the 12.8 pack. cgminer and guiminer scrypt crash. 13.1 and 13.4 make guiminer crash. this is all under 64bit Windows 7, btw
Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: HellDiverUK on August 07, 2013, 09:03:50 AM Something else wrong then, 12.8 always works for me. It's the only ones that do.

Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: Boomsling on August 07, 2013, 05:39:51 PM use cgminer 3.1.1
12.8 ATI divers dont forget .net and the ATI sdk Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: Damnsammit on August 07, 2013, 05:42:17 PM 13.1 works for me. Running a 5850 and a 6950... just got another 5850 in the mail today.
Can't wait to get home and start messing with it. Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: rmhuntley on August 07, 2013, 05:45:39 PM dont forget .net and the ATI sdk at the risk of sounding like an idiot. ".net"? and where do I find the sdk? I thought the catalyst package installed the SDK along w/ everything else. Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: rmhuntley on August 07, 2013, 05:47:27 PM looking at the card closer, the partnumber is eah5870/2dis/1gd5/v2. is that really a 5850?
Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: crazyates on August 07, 2013, 05:47:44 PM Yep, 12.8 and the included OCL are pretty much the best around.
Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: HellDiverUK on August 07, 2013, 06:20:08 PM dont forget .net and the ATI sdk at the risk of sounding like an idiot. ".net"? and where do I find the sdk? I thought the catalyst package installed the SDK along w/ everything else. .net = MS .NET 4.0 Framework - installs if you run Windows Update. The SDK is included with the 12.8 drivers. Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: rmhuntley on August 08, 2013, 02:17:05 AM ok. I tried 12.8 and couldn't get Catalyst control host to quit crashing. 13.1 functions normally, but both cgminer(v 3.1.1 and 2.11.3) and reaper beta fail withing seconds of launching. One thing that I've noticed. I"l only using 6 6pin plugs instead of a 6pin and an 8pin plug. Would that cause an issue?

One thing that I've noticed. I"l only using 6 6pin plugs instead of a 6pin and an 8pin plug. Would that cause an issue? That shouldn't cause an issue.... I use 2 6 pin plugs (I assume thats what you meant?) on mine. What are your command lines like for CGMiner? Have you successfully run CGMiner before? If not, it's best to run it very simple with no custom settings, and then after getting it to launch correctly, you can start playing with the fun stuff like intensity, thread concurrency, overclocking, etc. Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: rmhuntley on August 08, 2013, 02:34:26 AM I"m fairly well versed in cgminer. and it was working til I changed video cards(went from a 6450 to a 5850). I have everything set up w/ batchfiles and never really do any tweaking.
Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: rmhuntley on August 08, 2013, 03:00:44 AM Also, Iin reading a few things. I"ve discovered that my MB is pci-e x16 2.0. the card is x16 2.1.
Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: Damnsammit on August 08, 2013, 12:47:44 PM What mobo are you using? Do you just have the one PCI-E slot?
The reason I ask is because I was using a Abit IL9 Pro which has 2 PCI-E slots... well my 5850 would not work in the primary slot. I had to put it in the secondary slot to get it to work properly. Title: Re: Which Asus 5850 driver is best to use Post by: rmhuntley on August 08, 2013, 10:03:47 PM I finally got it working. I used AMD driver cleaner, then installed the 12.8 drivers and it worked.
