I've gotten a great deal of invalids and inconclusives. Somethings wrong and I don't think its my GPU

No X windows here, I'm running win7


Oops, sorry :-) When you start the BOINC client it'll list all GPUs in the event log (advanced view). For AMD/ATI devices it might talk about CAL and OpenCL - we're interested only in the latter. You should find the list of GPUs more or less at the top of the event log, right before the registered projects are mentioned.

Oliver

He may need to uninstall the drivers, run driver sweep, then reinstall the 12.1 drivers. Leaving old drivers wreaks havoc on the OpenCL apps at Seti. Probably the same here. His Card is recognized as a 6900 series and he is running the 7.0.18 BOINC so that isn't a problem.

Could running vbox be a problem?

you have to leave a cpu free otherwise it's unlikely to get work.

should we dump Wu's still using the 1.21 app? I've noticed a few inconclusives and errors on that app. not seeing any problems from other GPU projects

Right so doing something experimental like any other beta project yet getting nothing to show for it. How heroically stupid. what part of boinc don't you understand. You sign up for work, you get work, you get paid for the work. It's just that simple. You don't Pay. I won't play... again I guess you don't get the idea of feedback. That's an American term used to describe pros and cons of anything. I did just that. Now you deem it necessary to insult me. fine. IGNORE button is pushed

Well then you have my evaluation. I didn't ask you to like it.

Several reasons.
1) 61 WU sent to me and approximately 2 gb of data to download. I don't think so. This isn't a movie.

2) terrible credit for work completed. 500 credits, really? really!?
I can't see running a WU for 90 minutes on my GPU and getting a whole 500 credits.

Not to be blunt but my time spent on seti is more worthwhile. Just running my GPU at seti gets me around 1000 credits and Seti is a slower project for ATI cards.

If I match that time on Milkyway I get 14000+ . Oh, I know its all about the science. I think can find better use for my time though I will complete the 1 current WU I am working on.

I noticed that I've had to change setting on all my PC's even ones that are not even connected to Albert@home. For some unknown reason Albert has taken a stand that I don't want to run projects if I'm using more than 25% of a CPU. That's odd since my preferences should be united across projects yet Albert deemed it necessary to reset this.
