I can't run either version reliably.  11.8 makes both cards invisible after one reboot to guiminer.  And 11.7 made it very dificult to reboot my computer after a crash in order to remove the drivers and re install 11.7

PLaci1982, did you package all of these together yourself?
Just wondering why these are hosted on MU.

Yes, I did it.

The official (.exe) packages does not contain all subpackage witch are needed be most users, and I had some colleagues complaining about that they had to download multiple files, install multiple times, and restart the PC they installing multiple times, so I started to make all-in-one packages....

And the worst: the official packages contain 50-60 MB of identical content (mostly the installer's core, 32bit + 64bit installer binary, etc...).
1,43 GB vs my 629 MB @ 11.8 Smiley

You can use OpenCL remotely through RDP now, and without dummy plugs. Too bad about the 100% cpu bug thought, it's still there.
Not only is it still there, but they even managed to port the bug to the linux driver as well!

Anyone on linux, do NOT move away from 11.6.

Er, 10.4/2.1 i meant.  On a reference 5770. (I think... it has the fan at the end, not in the middle)

It's so confusing to google information like this because its spread out across years and multiple updates... I'm still trying to get everything in order.

So for a 5770, is it suggested to roll with 2.1 or 2.4+?
I found for my 5750 the best combo is 2.1 with 10.6 drivers

100% bug?  Whats this?  I'm new, i haven't heard of this.

I'm using the 11.7 drivers... should I roll back?
Nothing you should really worry about, but the bug makes the miner programs use a lot of CPU with the latest drivers... (usually 100% on one core / GPU)
Most ppl say it's inefficient (energy consumption), some ppl would like to use CPU mining w/ those CPU cores...

Okay yeah, I did notice 100% on one core.  Rolled back to 10.4/2.2.  CPU usage dropped, but the screen got much more choppy.
Oh, thats quite bit old.... and SDK 2.2 had some different bug, 2.1 are recommended, or 2.4+ for new drivers.

My underclocked (no vrm heatsink) 5870 has no change in hash rate 371.8 MHash/sec. Too early to tell if temperatures are different.
800/330 1.000v
GUIMiner - v2011-07-01
Built-in Phoenix 1.5
Phatk 2.2
-k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT WORKSIZE=256 AGGRESSION=16

Also in GPU Caps Viewer, my opencl version didn't change.
OpenCL 1.1 AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5 (684.212) FULL_PROFILE

I tried re-installing again and with standalone opencl, and the version remains the same. Weird.

Confirmed that the 100% CPU bug still exists? I'd like to upgrade my laptop's drivers but without setting my crotch on fire while using it+mining.

who cares? 100% cpu usage bug

Khmmmm....
I think "the 100% cpu usage bug still applies" would have been more polite... Tongue
I don't have to be polite, it's AMD's fault, not yours  Cheesy

EDIT:
(2012.05.17.)

Q:
I have tried to download one of the archives but I get the federal notice about MegaUpload takedown. Is it possible to update the links?
A:
Megaupload.com was sized, and I have internet connection problems since 1st March.
I don't really know other upload sites, I'm really not onto them...
I created some torrents, but I don't know where to upload them.... (sites like IsoHunt and The Pirate Bay did erased the torrent and/or banned me super fast...  Undecided)
I only can tell you the megnet url for them....

Magnet url for 11.07
Magnet url for 11.08
Magnet url for 11.09
Magnet url for 11.11

I could not post them here before because of my ISP problems. They have only a few seeds yet.

Q: Will you make packages from more up to date drivers?
A: Maybe, but I have not much time...
