    Hey guys ,
    I was wondering if anyone knows exactly how to download Open CL or enable it on 2x5870m's in Crossfire. I have 2 m17x,s with the same exact specs and one has it enabled and the other doesn't.

    I have tried Reinstalling windows 7 and went straight into installing 11.8 drivers with 11.7 Cap 3 profiler and still no Enabled Open CL. I have also downloaded the Stream SDK and i still cant get it to be enabled.

    Now the reason why im asking this is because i have seen many foums that enabling Open CL allows your GPU's to be overclocked higher then usual. For example i have my GPU's OC'd on one laptop with no isseus, pretty high too. But on my non open cl version i cant OC lightly without locking up.

    Any help would be truly appreciated and thanks in advance.

    P.s. The program I've been using to check my opencl option is GpuZ, and it always shows it disabled without a check mark on it.
