Title: cgminer 2.10.0 + Radeon HD 4550 Post by: AwkwardSituation on February 07, 2013, 03:13:53 PM I think I may have already read somewhere that the 4000 series isn't supported by cgminer anymore, I know it has weak ass hash rate, but given that I have one in the systems I'm CPU mining in, I'd like to at least get a few MH out of it if possible. Anyone know if cgminer will work with a Radeon HD 4550? I haven't been able to get it to run. I'm running 2.5 SDK but when I run cgminer the program immediately quits and Windows 7 x64 gives me the generic windows error that the program has stopped working.
Using --verbose doesn't help it crashes before it starts logging. Any ideas? Thanks.

Feel free to post your CONF here (edit out your user/pass for the pool you're working on please). I'll help as much as i can.
the 4550 uses 80 shader stream processing units. However, i don't think it supports the new opencl (the 4450 was released with opengl, and prior to the first stable version of opencl). Could be a complete hardware incompatibility, or could just be a setting. Title: Re: cgminer 2.10.0 + Radeon HD 4550 Post by: AwkwardSituation on February 07, 2013, 09:42:07 PM Okay right now I'm downloading AMD Catalyst 13.1 and I will install the AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5-Windows-641 drivers and see what happens.
Title: Re: cgminer 2.10.0 + Radeon HD 4550 Post by: AwkwardSituation on February 08, 2013, 04:23:17 AM Bah, I tried the latest Catalyst drivers and 2.5 sdk install and it still craps out on me immediately. Here is my cgminer.conf file. I am calling it from a command line by navigating to the directory containing cgminer and then entering cgminer -c cgminer.conf
Code: { Title: Re: cgminer 2.10.0 + Radeon HD 4550 Post by: Rawted on February 08, 2013, 02:04:23 PM in your conf file, slush's pool hostname is incorrect (you have a 2 after api). im betting this is why it crashes instantly.
slush's pool settings: http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 (Default URL for Stratum and Getwork miners. If you're unsure, use this URL.) or stratum+tcp://ipv6.stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 (IPv6, only for Stratum miners) or http://pool57wkuu5yuhzb.onion:8332 (anonymous mining over Tor network) Title: Re: cgminer 2.10.0 + Radeon HD 4550 Post by: AwkwardSituation on February 08, 2013, 03:49:09 PM Nah the pool URL didn't fix it. Must just be incompatible with CGMiner....Oh well, thanks for the efforts bud.

Title: Re: cgminer 2.10.0 + Radeon HD 4550 Post by: Parazyd on February 13, 2013, 08:15:50 PM I managed to mine with Phoenix 2 on this GPU.
Try that. Title: Re: cgminer 2.10.0 + Radeon HD 4550 Post by: AwkwardSituation on February 15, 2013, 06:45:05 PM Quote I managed to mine with Phoenix 2 on this GPU. Try that. Okay I will try Phoenix 2. What version? And what MH/s rate were you getting? Title: Re: cgminer 2.10.0 + Radeon HD 4550 Post by: Parazyd on February 15, 2013, 06:52:44 PM Just try. There are various configs. Write your own and see what you'll get.
