I followed your example branjo. Was running 7.0.42 and getting immediate errors suggesting resetting project. Downgraded to 7.0.31 and now the HCC ATI betas are running.
----------------------------------------I am using MAc OS X 10.8.2 on Mac Pro Westmere 6 core 3.33ghz with ATI Radeon HD 5770. The monitor seems a bit jittery but is tolerable.

BOINC 7.0.31, Mac OS 10.8.2, Radeon 6770M
These had been running okay and validating, but now I get an immediate 'Aborted: run time limit exceeded' and then 'Computation Error' after a few seconds on each task.

on my iMac, Intel i5-2500S CPU@2.70GHz running MacOSX 10.8.2 (12C60) no Problem so far...
----------------------------------------All beta are valid for me. Using Boinc 7.0.31 (x86) (hmmm.. i thought i had installed a 64bit client....) When i took a look at the WU in progress, i saw, those are resends where other produced errors.... Mostly 5-6 machines tried those Beta-WUs before me...

Maybe it is too long a time the minitest at front took. If that fails, the task is aborted. Momentary system loads could account for the variability in succeeding and failing the test on a host, where the base default is, to not GPGPU crunch when the user is doing input such as through mouse, keyboard, joystick. Is it a laptop, given the M at the end of the card series number? |

Sure, the "M"'s are much weaker. The compute power of HD 6700 series is up to 696 GigaFLOPS SP, while HD 6770 "full" GPU is up to 1.36 TFLOPs

A mobile intended card in a desktop system with a "you need to buy a pro to get all cylinders? If so, glad to be aware of these Cupertino sales ways. /ot

I am guessing it is because of "thickness madness" in Cupertino. You can hardly put desktop GPU into this
---------------------------------------- Edit to add: Anyway, for normal use, I am more than satisfy with iMac. If it can use it also for WCG GPU crunching, it is nice bonus for me  Crunching@Home since January 13 2000.
