sad Re: Known Graphics Cards Unable to Participate

My HD 7570 is putting out valid results but the WUs are causing a noticeable lag with my computer. I tried disabling the use GPU while computer is in use, which fixes that problem, but there is no check pointing. So the WU has to start all over again. Any other solutions anyone knows about?


strange.
for my part, Boinc refuses to perform calculations on computers using this type of video card (Radeon HD 7570 DELL OEM).

Re: Known Graphics Cards Unable to Participate

I wonder why my NVIDIA GTX 660M can run GPUGRID flawlessly, yet it can't run HCC... anyone know why exactly? (I'd imagine full-atom simulations to be more complex than image processing).

Re: Known Graphics Cards Unable to Participate

You're free to imagine anything ;>), but GPUGRID is CUDA deploying and WCG is OpenCL coded. Look in your client startup log if there's a second video card line logged that includes an OpenCL 1.1 entry.

Re: Known Graphics Cards Unable to Participate

For OpenCL, BOINC reports this.

OpenCL: NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce GTX 660M (driver version 314.22, device version OpenCL 1.1 CUDA, 2048MB, 1940MB available, 730 GFLOPS peak)

Re: Known Graphics Cards Unable to Participate

Is your computer not getting them, or failing to run them successfully? If latter, visit the Result Status page, click on an error link and post copy of the Result log. If failing at start it's mostly the Kernel Exceed time. This means that your computer/GPGPU tests as too slow. In that case, make sure to only set GPU to run when idle. May it's then faster to succeed at the test.

It just says under the "notice" tab that the GPU isn't supported. As a matter of fact, it IS listed in the list of "GPUs unable to participate". I was wondering why it wasn't able though. A bunch of the cards listed are very fast and are 1.1 OpenCL capable.

looks like GeForce GT 620M isn't working too

Thanks,
the official AMD drivers do not recognize my video card, I am forced to use the Dell drivers crying .

Hmmm. That card is working just fine on my Dell 8500 for WCG. But, I had to jump through hoops to get the AMD / Catalyst drivers updated. If I recall, the Dell drivers didn't work, but getting the drivers from AMD and going through a couple of version upgrades worked.
Catalyst Control Center Version 2012.0120.420.7502
