Topic: Mining with legacy Radeon 7000 PCI cards (Read 1896 times)
hmm alright, thanks for the answers.
does it have to do with the arch not supporting openCL?
put it bluntly, correct.
These -extremely archaic- graphics cards are strictly fixed function. They cannot do ANYTHING other than draw a picture on the screen. Throw them in the dumpster or donate them to goodwill. They aren't good for anything else.

You need a Radeon HD 4000 series card or newer. Older cards simple won't work: the hardware wasn't built for it, and the drivers won't let you do it.
Hello all,
I may have acquired 5-6 VisionTek Radeon 7000 64mb PCI cards (VT-RAD7K). They are not supported by windows 7 so i would have to run them on XP or Linux.
I looked in the mining comparisons but no one has seemed to log these cards. And search here did not find anything. Does anyone have experience trying to use these, and 5-6 of them on a single rig?
Edit: i found this thread but it does not say if it works or not.... just speculation.
