Title: APU/GPU problem
Post by: Zhenpo on April 22, 2013, 06:05:35 AM
So I have one of AMD's APU processors, but I also have an ATI Radeon HD 7850. For some reason GUIMINER is only detecting my APU which isnt even being used instead of my ATI Radeon HD 7850. Anyone have a clue why and how to fix it?

Is your monitor connected to the 7850? I know for reaper and cgminer that's required to get the card recognized. Not too sure on GUIminer though.

I have my 32" tv and my 22 widescreen monitor both hooked up to my 7850

Have you installed the catalyst drivers? The drivers that comes preinstalled with windows wouldn't work at all.

1) OpenCL is not installed
2) Laptop is using second GPU only for specified programs, should be configurable somewhere in the drivers

The drivers are installed, and OpenCL is installed as well. The only card that shows up under device manager is my ATI Radeon HD 7850.
