Also,  driver sweeper does not get rid of SDK files that may be left. You need to check the system32 and syswow64 folders in the windows directory for files called atiocl*.dll and amdocl*.dll.

This is especially important when downgrading SDKs, not so much for upgrading.

Whenever you change drivers or SDK with cgminer, if you are to actually get different performance, you MUST delete any .bin files that cgminer has generated from the previously installed drivers/sdk combo.

well it does say it in the title.....


Are you running this card at stock settings? (have you tried hitting it with a hammer?) J/K

Thought about it.

I've searched for ways to do a clean sweep of SDK, is there a thread out there I am not seeing on how to do this?

Looks like you had previously been running 2.6 and didn't fully clean that installation before you installed 2.1. The computer will run the newest installed software.

On top of that, you didn't correctly input the pool information...

cgminer runs, but only runs 1 card, the other is SICK...this is just what comes up right away.

It helps if you mention all of that in the OP.  Roll Eyes
