Title: Can you put a 7970 into an SDK2.5 mining box ? Post by: PcChip on February 06, 2012, 12:59:16 AM I was considering pulling my 7970 out of my main gaming rig and going back to SLI GTX570's, and putting the 7970 into the mining box which has 58xx's hashing away with the older SDK (the one that's faster)
Has anyone tested if the 7970 will play nice with the older Stream SDK ? Title: Re: Can you put a 7970 into an SDK2.5 mining box ? Post by: waterboyserver on February 27, 2012, 08:18:05 AM Has anyone tried using SDK 2.5 on a 7970?

But its possible to install older SDKs on top of it (not sure about 2.6, but 2.5 works nicely with 2.1, 2.2 etc), and it will work without probs (with 5 and 6 series).

[0-0]barts is a 6870 (with 2.5 sdk) and [1-1]juniper is a 5770 with 2.1 sdk. Both sdks working great together. Shouldnt be a problem to throw in mix 2.6 and others together.

How do you install different SDK for different cards?[0-0]barts is a 6870 (with 2.5 sdk) and [1-1]juniper is a 5770 with 2.1 sdk. Both sdks working great together.

You can install 2.1 plus ONE of the following: 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 (havent bothered with 2.2/2.3, people say its cpu bug) because 2.1 installs into an entirely different path than 2.4-2.6. 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 all share the same install path and, afaik, you can't install 2 or more of them since the new one will overwrite the old one (also the installer refuses to downgrade, have to 2.4 -> 2.5 -> 2.6, can't go backwards without manually uninstalling) |
