Recently, I've mining (bitcoin) using the binary cgminer on a new install of xubuntu 12.04 with the 12.8 catalyst drivers.
I'm getting about 580mh/s per car for a gigabyte 7950.
In a variety of places that document mining setup, as well as the
cgminer readme itself, it says that the
AMD SDK is required. I am not using the AMD SDK, and my hashrate does not appear to be suffering.
The only conclusion I've come to is that the binary cgminer doesn't actually require it. Can anyone else confirm this?
Does cgminer require the SDK for scrypt mining? I don't get a good scrypt hashrate, but that could be a result of other factors.
