On 5850 and 6970 there is improvement with 14.6 opencl files
5850 now makes 900+KH on x13, 6970 is above 1400.
I used the version from
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658975.0, initially I reported no speed up, but I had messed bat/conf files.
Tested under 13.12 with opencl files from 14.6 copied into sgminer folder and deleting all bins
I found the opencl files in AMD folder inside \Packages\Drivers\Display\WB6A_INF\B171094 (after decompressing the 14.6 driver package without installing it, or with 7zip)
I don't know which are needed, so I copied everything that had "opencl" or "amdocl" in the filename into the sgminer folder (8 files, dlls & exes).
Deleted all previous bins, and now it's even better (+3%) than using the bins from 14.6 (I have 14.4 drivers installed).
hi @qmerk , @restless
I have 14.4, took 8 files ( amd_opencl32.dll, amd_opencl64.dll, amdocl.dll, amdocl_as32.exe, amdocl_as64.exe, amdocl_ld32.exe, amdocl_ld64.exe, amdocl64.dll) from 14.6 and put into sgminer folder, but no gain compared to lazybear's release in mining x11. tried few of the sgminer versions produced by djm34, including the initial one on the first page of the thread.
Could you please dump your sgminer config or command line parameters, whichever may be relevant.
Or if possible, could you also share the bin files generated by sgminer.
p.s. with lazybear's release & 14.4 driver & opencl files I get around 2180 kh/s mining x11 per each slightly overclocked 6970, have few of these in the rig.

950/1375 ~2300kh/s with an older binfile..no increase seen with the new 14.6miner and or cl files
