Legacy hardware won't cut it(HD 5970)
#1
Hello there,
story time, based on theseĀ Benchmarks, i went on ebay like sites and found that the AMD HD 5970 had the best ratio for hash/s/dollar which was about 2300 hash/s/dollar (wpa2).

The problem: Hashcat just wont run on the GPU

What i have tried:
OS: Win7, Win8.1
Driver:Crimsom 15.12,16.2.1 Beta, Catalyst 15.7.1
(all the combinations of os and drivers from above)

On the latest and greatest driver 16.2.1, hashcat won run on the GPU, wont even acknowledge the existence of the GPU, it will just start to hash on the CPU.

Other versions will spew theĀ "cl_platform_not_found_khr" error.

1.Does anybody have or know a stable and working combination of drivers and OSes for HD 5970?

2.(Better question) Should i ditch Windows for some real OS like some distro of unix?
