Just bought a new 6870 card and I'm disappointed by the driver support on linux. Installed Catalyst 10.10 and I still get that "unsupported hardware" watermark in the bottom right. CLInfo from the SDK samples gives out the following errors:

Error : atomics mismatch!
Error : Bytes mismatch!
Error : images mismatch!
Error : amd_media_ops mismatch!
Error : khr_3d_image_writes mismatch!
Failed!

Some of my kernels work, most of them produce wrong results and they used to work on 4670.

On the driver download page, it looks like 6xxx series are supported only on Windows.

Seriously, are you going to fix 6xxx support on linux soon?

Well the driver support for xp64 is a little bit better than for Linux but there are the  same errors on Windows with 6850 !

IMHO you must wait for new SDK http://forums.amd.com/devforum/messageview.cfm?catid=328&threadid=142058

// rants follow..

Great, we now have Catalyst 10.11....that still does not support 68xx on linux. Well done

The new SDK is scheduled to be released in mid-december, full support for the 68XX cards will come then.

Great! I'll wait for it.
