Can you mine Monero  now? "cryptonight r"   ???
xmr-stak runs but the hashrate 0 is constantly  :-\

have you tried xmrig-amd? I could maybe pull my 5850 and 6870 out to test if that doesn't work to figure it out myself

GPUs are probably too old so no newish miner software would not have support for them. The oldest they support at the 7000 series I believe.

confirmed neither xmrig-amd nor xmr-stak are working on a 6870 with CN/r, didn't plug my 5850 in to check it. As a test, Lyclminer 0.2.1 was working on the 6870, but that isn't the algo you're after. (lyclminer is for lyra2rev3)

won't even work on all of the HD 7000 series now it seems, because everything under the 7750 is actually TeraScale. and the R5 235X and under is also terascale, isn't AMD's branding great?
edit: unrelated, but also hilarious I noticed I'm still a "newbie" even though I signed up for bitcointalk in '13, and somehow have only made ~30 posts in that time edit2: and suddenly now I'm a jr member after saying that.

On-topic: Nvidia has almost the same branding, but Nvidia or even Intel do not actually call it branding, they call it "codename".
Don't know about AMD's architecture naming scheme though.

Off-topic: But if you haven't received that 1 merit from CjMapope, you'll be stuck as a newbie.
