      nsgminer -k neoscrypt_vliwp -g 1 -w 128 -I 13

      Should do better on a HD58x0

        i’ve now installed AMD openCl drivers, AMD SDK and it still comes back with “All devices disabled, cannot mine!”

        Any ideas?

          @digga Its a driver error. You need to downgrade to 14.7 RC3 I believe.

              @digga Its worth having a go (trying differn’t drivers). It’s really the tricky part of getting mining going on Windows or Linux … The hardest thing is finding the driver and then then all reboots installing it.

              Make sure you boot to safe mode and run the ati / amd clean-up utility, before installing the driver.

                If mining with older cards on Windows 7/8, use either v15.7.1 if you also do some regular work there or v14.7 RC3 if just mining.

                  @ghostlander Thanks. I’ve downgraded the driver to give it a whirl.

                  This suggests a hash rate of 43 ?

                  i’m using this:

                  “C:\nsgminer-win64-0.9.3\nsgminer.exe” -k neoscrypt_vliwp -g 1 -w 128 -I 13

                  Should I be able to get more than this on my card?

                    Very good with such old card, basic settings and such temp.

                      @digga Should be higher. Delete old *.bin files after changing the drivers or OpenCL SDK. You can also try the neoscrypt_vliw kernel with an increased intensity.

                          @digga Compiled kernels named like neoscryptvliwpBeaverCreekgw128l8.bin
