Hi, i got a Radeon HD6520G + HD7670M Dual Graphics laptop, and I need OpenCL support to BitCoin, can I install SDK or something to fix it?

You can install AMD APP SDK 2.8 with the current stable driver 13.1. You can also checkout the beta drivers too (13.3 beta).

Please post your experience here.

SDK: http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/

Driver: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Previously on 13.1/13.3+SDK not working. Now I have 13.5 beta drivers, and still nothing... I have read this: http://clbenchmark.com/device-info.jsp?config=14617782 and reffering this, that gpu should support OpenCL. I'll try to reinstall system to fix it, maybe it will helps..  Any another ideas?

You should ideally get 3 OpenCL devices (1 iGPU + 1 dGPU + 1 CPU). Can you try a fresh install after removing APP SDK and Driver (if already installer). Upgrading drivers may not work properly.

Can you give more explanation as what is not working after you installed catalyst 13.5?

Now works on 13.1 + uncompletly installed SDK (i got error after it install 2 components). AMD Drivers are soo bugged.

SDK install error is most likely related to the presence of AMD APP folder in "My Documents" folder before installer starts. Delete this folder manually, and reinstall. You can also check out the AMD uninstall utility that helps in easy removal of drivers.
