Title: OpenCL not working with 5970 + 5870? :/ Post by: Cablesaurus on April 21, 2011, 03:05:06 AM So I received a 5870 today, and plan to run it in the box with my 5970.
I uninstalled ati stream/drivers and driver cleaned. I then reinstalled with Cat 10-12 and Ati Stream 2.3... when I attempted to launch miners they crash poclbm. If I run GPU caps or GPU-z, it states open CL is 'not installed'. I installed everything from a fresh driver clean... is there anything I can try? :/ Title: Re: OpenCL not working with 5970 + 5870? :/ Post by: Veldy on April 21, 2011, 03:14:41 AM Stream 2.4 is out and working great for my 6970. Perhaps you should consider that. I have read that 2.3 had some performance issues .. maybe other issues?

Try ATI Stream SDK 2.1 and 2.2 If you see 3 GPUs in poclbm and only one of them crashes - use special old version of poclbm to mine on a slave core of 5970.

OpenCl doesn't appear in any of the cards in gpu-z ? Title: Re: OpenCL not working with 5970 + 5870? :/ Post by: Cablesaurus on April 22, 2011, 04:25:39 PM Ended up trying to uninstall/reinstall several times, tried with and without crossfire, etc. Always came up as a "driver open cl installation" error when I opened GPUCaps.
For anyone interested, I ended up fixing this by simply installing the NEWEST Catalyst driver set. The newest set comes pre-bundled with OpenCL without any need to manually install ATIStream... works fine for me.
