Hey folks ! I discovered something i would tell to ya. U know there only these drivers to install in Windows 10, but they don`t have OpenCL. http://support.amd.com/de-de/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows+10+-+64 Someone was clever to use OPENCL afterall of that. Guess he wrote a small site, but it wasn´t me. Cheers ! https://www.christianackermann.de/2016/07/amd-fehlender-opencl-support-crimson-unifl-legacy/ I´m sorry it´s only german. |

The crimson drivers do have opencl. The problem is that it is version 2.0 and you will need a hd7xxx or higher card to run. For the hd5xxx and hd6xxx series the last usable driver is version 15.7 |

Since the release of Crimson drivers they have only officially supported GCN based GPUs. The older Terascale based GPUs 15.12 is really the last driver to use. I've used the Windows 7 15.12 driver without problems in Windows 10 with my HD6870's. I'm not sure if the Windows 10 version has OpenCL or not. It might be the same installer with a different name. I haven't checked. http://support.amd.com/de-de/download/desktop/previous?os=Windows%2010%20-%2064 http://support.amd.com/de-de/download/desktop/previous?os=Windows%207%20-%2064 SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

For sure, they might be work, but u have a lot of performance loss if u don't use the crimson drivers. Try it under Win10. |
