I've just about had it trying to figure this out
I have multiple Radeon 5970's I want to setup.
So far the miners I have only utilize either one core or one card.
Tried GUIMINER, phoenix 1 & 2, and Diablominer
so now if someone can help me get at least 600Mhash per card i'll send you 0.25 BTC for your help
THANKS

What driver and SDK do you have installed? Also, under GUIminer SS. If image don't load in the forum. Here, https://www.dropbox.com/s/b2hrkwrz688a5ta/Untitled.jpg . ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fphotos-5.dropbox.com%2Fsi%2F2048x1536%2F7cwlSZq-mPiObgz7LRfZ-rnM0oFRutHF6zkJuagfFq4%2F89462606%2F1343199600%2Fcd7fe22%2FUntitled.jpg&t=665&c=i1mBUueodHq5Pw) Select for each new worker "openCL", the device drop down menu. There should be four GPU devices showing. Create a new worker for each ati device. Create account at one of the BTC mining pools, set your worker/workers. Use These can be adjustedin the flag box. Start mining. You have any overclocks done?

Previously 12.1 & 2.1 SDK, was reading on the DiabloMiner thread that 12.2 was best and it had SDK builtin but now miners are saying no OpenCL support should i go back to 12.1 or just install sdk 2.1 again, i have xp 64 and v2.3 is the last SDK that supports this OS I'm able to connect to the pools what does -f 7 flag mean? GUIMINER only listed two things when i had two GPU's installed. 0-0 Cypress and 1-1 Cypress (plus onboard graphics)

what does -f 7 flag mean?
Install the SDK 2.1 if you don't have any problems, then devices should show. -f means frames. Set to 25 if you use one of the mining gpu's as desktop, and the ones you don't use for desktop, set between 0~10. Edit: And for these cards, I think best was "for windows 7" i don't know about xp, 11.12 is best for the 5000 series cards.

Uninstall them all, reboot, use driversweeper to clean any left over stuff, install 12.1ccc & 2.1 SDK, reboot. Start up GUIMiner and see if your GPU devices show.

system restore did the trick on 0-0 i put f 25 but my system is stopping display and comes back slow when i try to run two workers (same card) opens VPU Recover window "reset your grpahics accelerator it was no longer responding to grpahics driver commands" board has onboard graphics but coudn't get it to work, it would show in BIOS then when hit OS would always revert to the GPU card worker 1 showing 320 or so Mhash worker 2 is erroring it looks, showing 1.5ghash bt no shares i had gpu-z, apparently system restore actually deleted my files so downloading again

How'd restore fix it when you got "reset your grpahics accelerator it was no longer responding to grpahics driver commands"
? Might wanna do Uninstall them all, reboot, use driversweeper to clean any left over stuff, install 12.1ccc & 2.1 SDK, reboot. Start up GUIMiner and see if your GPU devices show.
Edit: How many 5970's you have?

Edit: How many 5970's you have? Done Right now 2x 5970's but I'm about to add a third as soon as i know this will work I assume CrossFireX should NOT be enabled? EDIT: now it's back to only showing two Cypress Devices, 0-1 and 1-0 and when i started the 2nd one it took mhash away from the first one and CPU still using 50% utilization, says explorer.exe is using 25% of my dual core

Try between -f7 and -f10 for the GPU's not used on the desktop. Somewhere between that, should drop your cpu usage down, to barely used, also uncheck all the cpu box's for each worker. Edit: If all four GPU devices were showing, 2 of them should not just disappear. Unless the card is going?

-f 25 and unchecked cpu 0 & 1 affinity still uses a lot of cpu 50% when just running 1 worker 320Mhash thats one core of one GPU, assuming the one that produces my display

Yea, sorry man, ionno. Above is the best to my knowledge that should work, In theory, XP isn't even supported anymore, it was a great OS but as it is all good things come to an end and are born with greater things, Win7. End of support for XP > April 8, 2014
Windows 7 is worth it in so many ways.
That's what I would suggest, but if you know about linux, you can try it. But if you want to get up and going, use win7, quick n easy.
Most likely it is XP causing the reek havoc. It's just old.

garg. just would rather utilize an OS I spent like $100 on rather than buy a new OS for another $100

yes i mentioned that a few times that may be one detriment because this OS is not common, high compatiblity issues I've seen and guess that software isn't coded well for this anyway

Let us know if you do or don't find a solution for your current operating system install. And if you choose Linux/Windows7, let us know how it works out.

Windows binary: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-2.5.0-win32.zipDownload this one. It's the only binary for windows. Unzip the files and start CGMINER, it will automatically detects the values for your graphic cards. If it configures all your cards, then you could tweak the settings for best results, but for that i cant help. I'm a new at this things for now. But if it detects all your cards then ask for help on the CGMINER thread that ckolivas or other member can help you.
