Hi folk,s Can anybody help me out here, Preferably sum1 who knows what they are doing or sum1 who has had simlar issues or has the same graphics card experience..



this is the issue is have.



i recently overcame an issue i was having with a graphics card (Namely Radeon Crossfire HD 5770 )



The problem i had was i could not get the right drivers installed, And when i eventually got a driver to work, The card was not using its OpenCl. Even though the GPU settings program's where telling me that open cl was installed along with openGl.



Anyway, i eventually, decided to start from scratch, so i uninstalled everything and began a new installation..



i eventually figured out that i could get a stable driver installed simply through window update installing the system drivers for a 5700 Series.



And that got me a graphics card that works,



however. when i wish to use a programme with OpenCl, I get errors stating no openCl installed ect.



So im back to square 2 so to speak.





I now an established graphics card with stable driver, But no openCl or Gl for that matter.



Iv checked the drivers, and no opencl being used..



Anyway.



I realise that i could install another installer and go through the last process installing drivers in the hope that il land a driver with OpenGl/OpenCl



But this is where it gets iffy..



My card is a HIS Radeon 5700 crossfire , And the drivers i find are for AMD or ATI, which i installed before and got a drive with opencl showing but not working.. So i dont want to go installing those drivers again and going through the same process as last time, only to end up back where i am now , Tommorow.



So my next option is, the HIS radeon driver from the HIS website..



But again, iv installed these and had driver issues, I actually got no stable driver installed, Even though i was installing the right driver, But this may be due to my corrupting this with numerous downloads of drivers & updates ect.



So should i try the HIS drivers and risk it or is there i better way around, this.

let me know.



I basically just need OpenCl to be operational, And the knowledge about how to actually get openCl installed alongside my GPU.



From what i understand i need AMD drivers for my GPU that install the OPENCL drivers alongside the GPU, but like i say i tried the drivers that had openCL only to be told no openCl devices found..



So im very unsure as to what i should be doing.



Is there a way to install just openCl and it would append to my driver automaticcaly.. Or am i right in thinking its down to AMD drivers to have OpenCl..





Please let me know if anybody has any ideas.





My PC is



Dell XPS gen4 Dimension

3.4Ghz

2gig ram

1tb hd



Graphics card is



HIS Radeon HD 5770 crossfire



Am i also right in thinking that normal amd ati drivers will work for the his device , as they are the same device..



Let me know folks, cheers.

The 5770 is an AMD Evergreen chip and only supports upto OpenCl 1.2. Which version of openCL are you trying to run?
The last AMD driver that supported 1.2 is these Catalyst Legacy drivers
