oh, then you have to install standalone 2.1 only.

No, install 2.1 that comes with 10.11 after removing all the drivers u installed before.
Also delete the folder, ATI & AMD in root of c drive, before you remove driver using driver sweeper.
c:\amd & c:\ati.
you have one or more drivers in system & that causing problem. You can even go to device manager & uninstall your graphics card & also select "delete drivers also" when it asks, when you are uninstalling in device manager.

Well that works and I've done that in the past, but 10.11 does NOT come with SDK Stream 2.1! It comes with 2.2.
Maybe there is an unofficial drivers package that contains 2.1?

well, I tried installing 10.11 + SDK 2.1, but it's a no go. What happens is gui miner complains that there is no valid OpenCL devices in the system. So I went to catalyst 11.4 which works and there is no 100% cpu usage with 1 miner (one card) but when the second one comes into the picture it's 100% all over again..
Am I the only one that could not get SDK 2.1 working on a 5870? Am I doing something wrong here? Does 2.1 even support the 5000 series?

Seems amd drivers screwed your system.
Use driver sweeper from http://www.phyxion.net/item/driver-sweeper.html
In screen shot u can see, select AMD - display , analyse & then clean.
also go to safe mode & do the same & install 10.11 with 2.1 sdk & everything will work fine.
Hmm, ok I shall give that a shot. So you're saying i should install 10.11 without the opencl drivers and then install 2.1 sdk separately..right?

I'd like to Mine on my CPU as I've got 8 threads sitting idle but it doesn't show up under the device's tab.
Is this an OpenCL problem?
Is this an OpenCL problem?
What devices do you see in the tab?
If OpenCL isn't working for you, something you can try is File ->New Other Miner and pick rpcminer-cpu instead. This is a non-OpenCL miner by puddinpop that runs on your CPU.

So only downgrading to OpenCL 2.1 would fix this?
Yes, but 2.1 doesn't support the 6xxx series, so you can't do it if you have one of those.Nice. Well it looks like I have to look into installing SDK 2.1 then. Do you happen to know which is the earliest catalyst drivers package that contains 2.1?

I understand that GPGPU mining s/ware is very demanding on GPUs, but I want to know why my CPU is being used 100%.
It's because OpenCL 2.2 and higher is broken if you have more than 1 GPU.So only downgrading to OpenCL 2.1 would fix this?

For those running this GUI miner in Windows 7, will you tell me what your CPU usage is?
Windows 7 64 bit, Radeon 5850 - negligible CPU usage (an occasional 1%)
What CPU do you have? I'm getting 100% CPU usage on an Athlon 64x2 4200+. Any ideas on why I'd be getting 100% CPU usage?
Are you CPU mining as well? That would do it. I've got an Intel Core i5-750 2.66GHz.
Nope. Just GPU mining. Apparently this is a know problem, but nobody has a solution that they're publicly willing to share.
On linux, if you shutdown all graphical displays and stop moving things around on screen the cpu usages drops away to 2-3% ... you have to use a command-line tool to see this because any gui-based performance monitor will be using graphic resources by definition.
You might not realise how demanding the optimised OpenCL GPGPU mining s/ware is on the GPU ... they are built to scream and any othet interrupts to the GPU will affect performance ... you have to shut everything else down... and I mean everything, particularly anything with a gui or that has opened up a window ... to get the best performance, i.e., dedicated mining.
I understand that GPGPU mining s/ware is very demanding on GPUs, but I want to know why my CPU is being used 100%. System monitor clearly reports that the miner instances are using the CPU to full capacity, but the CPU isn't engaged in mining; the GPUs are.
Yes, but the CPU has to talk to the GPU to pass work to it, mining or graphics ... if the GPU is tied up then the CPU just spends ages going ......

I'm not sure that a gui-based miner is good for computation or just for user friendliness ... unless there is something clever going in there to stop the CPU pestering the GPU while it is mining
I'm actually using phoenix now and I still get the same problem.
