hashcat 3.10 Ubuntu 12.04 different GPUs HD5830, HD5970 - what driver works for both?

[ICONOCLAST]

AMD dropped support for VLIW cards, only GCN is supported now, so you will not be able to use any newer drivers. I believe Catalyst 15.9 is the last version you can use (though it might be even earlier than that.)

4x 5830 + 1x 5970 shouldn't be a problem. Sounds like your 5970 might be defective, which shouldn't be terribly surprising considering it's a 7 year old card.

Hi, thank you for the info.
I hope the card is still good, the fan spins up and it generates a small amount of heat and draws what looks like the power of an idle card.
I have not been able to get these working but they are not installing without errors so it is hard to
say.
amd-driver-installer-14.20-x86.x86_64.run
fglrx-dev_15.201-0ubuntu1_amd64_UB_14.01
amd-driver-installer-15.302-x86.x86_64.run

I will try the catalyst 15.9 driver.

Do i have to remove any previous drivers?
any advice on prerequisites to install this driver?

Thanks.

Hi again:
I am running this:

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

I have downloaded all the 15.9 drivers because it is not clear to me which one I am supposed to install 8 choices with descriptions below

Any recommendations?
Again the two models of cards I am trying to run at same time are
Radeon HD5830 and
Radeon HD5970
