Not 100% it will work since Im stil on a slightly older version of cgminer, but I think thats no problem. Oh and reset your setting to default. If cgminer generates another .BIN file, then your settings are different or ->
If it doesnt work, Ill upload the opencl dll.

You can just copy a BIN file generated with the old opencl DLL to cgminers folder.
I can send you the BIN file for SDK 2.5. That gives me ~455 MH at 1GHz. That way you dont even have to downgrade your drivers. You will have to repeat this step if you ever reinstall cgminer, and possibly if you tweak settings like -V since the BIN file is generated by the opencl sdk that you have installed (which is 2.6 for you now, and it sucks).

Please.....I would love to try it
You want 11.9 and SDK 2.5 (or 2.4 maybe). You cant just downgrade though, you have to manually remove the dll, and delete the .bin file in cgminer. There is like a million posts on that on this forum.
Your saying I need the CCC 11.9?
P4 is correct about the CGMiner thing BTW. I guess you could go either route with this one.

Fairly sure CGminer doesn't play with SDK 2.1 (need 2.4 for the ADL stuff).

Not sure about that one as I use Diablo now since it is faster. I am pretty sure when I last used CGminer (bout a month ago ithink) I was on 2.1

Make sure you go into the control pannel programs and features then catalyst install manager, remove the SDK APP that you have in the run the stand alone .msi

You need to be on the latest drivers and SDK2.1 I can send you the install msi for the SDK 2.1 only if you like. I have it for windows 7 64 and xp 32.
Trying this.....stand by. If it works, you get the bounty.

I run everything standard (nothing tweaked in CGminer) - 970 core and 160 mem and get 445-447 MH/s. This is true on either Windows 7 box (11.12 driver) or Linux (11.6 and 2.4 SDK).

Default settings will give you ~435MH at 950.
Your problem is drivers and SDK. Which are you using and what OS?

win 7 64bit

Which CGminer version are you using?
I noticed performance drop in the last 2 releases.
I got exactly the same setup (2x5870) and ver. 2.2.0 works well for me.

I would like to try the -v 2 solution first......any help on that end?

Updated to add a bounty. First person to help me successfully takes it!
Can anyone give me a quick assist on how to maximize my 5870's with CGminer?
I am currently getting 390 MH/s at 950/300. I understand if I get the settings perfected I can push 450.
Can someone help me with how to set the worksize to 256 and use the -v 2 flag?
Thanks!
