Have a 5470M, how to use GUIminer?

[cdak]

My graphics card is a 5470 mobility radeon.
It doesn't show up on the GUIminer as an OpenCL device.
I have Catalyst 11.4 and the APP SDK 2.4.
Only my iCore 5 shows up as an OpenCL device, help pls?

Check to see if your OS is 32 or 64 bit. You have may have the wrong SDK installed. It happened to me. I wasnt paying attention when i downloaded the sdk.

Sounds like maybe you have a laptop with two GPUs, probably an Intel and an ATI.  I'm guessing Lenovo?

Anyhoo, see if you can completely disable the Intel on-board GPU and use only the discrete one.

After that I'd probably reinstall Catalyst 11.4 and see if it detects your card properly.

If I've guessed wrong, apologies.  Also, take care you don't overheat your laptop / burn out the tiny tiny fan.

Definitely check the BIOS for onboard / discrete GPU setting as well.
