Hi there

I'm back with my old grand ma card AMD 6950  Grin Wink

Ive try the lastest release since the fork V8 monero and i can't hash

This old pre gcn card work on V7, it could hash on V8 ? ( i know it's old) but i've 3 card at work ...

i've try kernel cmd line --kernel 1 or 2 and it didn't start hashing.
The is a way to use specific kernel for this old card with a special command line ?

Thx Smiley

Since you're using an older card I'd suggest you try "kernel" : 2 together with "adl_type" : 2
because it's set by default  "adl_type" : 1 which is better for newer cards.

you can set it in config-normalv8.txt not in batch afaik, ReadMe is your friend! and take care not to forget a comma[,] or something +when editing config-normalv8.txt otherwise your miner won't work.

I've try what you say but miner doesn't start anymore  Embarrassed

Any idea ? i can't install adrenaline driver suggest, the card is not compatible.

"Please use : Adrenalin 18.5.1, 18.5.2 or 18.6.1 drivers

Please wait...
