It should be enough to install the latest Catalyst (full package including OpenCL). I run on Windows 7, Red Hat Linux and Ubuntu Linux, with only plain Catalyst installed.

Which operating system are you using?


I use Windows 7 64-bit. The really weird thing is when I download and installed the complete package the drivers get weird. The screen-size becomes relly "zoomed". Hm?

Yes, and I checked with a program and it says "penCL 1.1 AMD-APP-SDK-v2.5 (684.213) FULL_PROFILE". That must be the right SDK?

Wierd...

Edit: I should maybe tell you that I hade a nvidia 560Ti before, but I uninstalled the drivers. But that card did show up in the GUImining.

Now I've reinstalled my drivers. Now I have Catalyst Control Center 11.7. I also installed the opencl-drivers, but it still doesn't work. Can some one please help me? I will donate coins for solutions that make me able to mine with my 5870. Please!

I am using GUIminer, and right now I can only se me CPU and not my graficcard.

EDIT: I will donate money for help!

Yes, a monitor is plugged in. In fact, it is the only card I am using.

I read something about ATI Stream, and I am continuing looking for solutions.

I think the problem is that I haven't installed the ATI Stream SDK... I tried to installed it, but I don't know if it works. I am going to restart the computer and try again...

EDIT: Now I am updating my drivers to the graficcard, I hope that helps!

ok, some answers needed:

what driver version are you using (e.g. 11.6 or 11.7?)?
is a monitor plugged into that very card?
have you installed the needed SDK from AMD and have you ensured it works properly with your driver version?

(I guess some research on your own would have let you to this questions aswell Wink )

Hi!

I have just installed my drivers for a 5870, but my mining-program (GUIminer) cannot find the graficcard. I have no idea what the problem is, do you?
