Title: 5970 / 5870 - AMD 11.11 Compatibility Problem
Post by: cablepair on November 28, 2011, 11:52:51 AM
Interesting problem I discovered this morning...

I upgraded all of my mining rigs from 11.9 - 11.11 this morning

they all took to it fine, except for one rig that has 1 x 5970 and 4 x 5870

the driver crashes as soon as you start mining, even with default clocks and fresh reboot

reverted back to 11.9 - no problems - getting 2500 mhash out of the thing - smooth as can be

anyone else have a similar issue?

Yep same thing here with a 5850, downgrading didn't work though at first I had to uninstall the microsoft driver too from device manager.

one thing I noticed with the new driver that's really strange is it crashes when you go on and off - on a screen

like for instance if you have it on a tv that has multiple inputs and you switch between them, it often crashes the driver

it actually helped kill a PSU that I have to RMA today 11.11 sucks for miners.
