Can I download optimized apps for Seti MB V7 for CPU and/or GPU (Nvidia 260/460/550) for Windows similar to what Urs Echternacht and others are currently using for Linux and ATI GPU on the Seti Beta site? If so, where can I find them?

Seti MB v7 hasn't gone live at the Main project yet, only the Beta project, check the threads out over there, the Linux and ATI GPU apps are still Alpha apps and only available to Lunatics Alpha testers,

Same goes for the optimised V7 CUDA windows app (i.e. alpha only).

An optimised V7 CPU app is being beta tested (see this beta thread).

For the main site, there are newer CUDA apps available at Lunatics

Hi,

I didn't know where to place this post.so excuse me if i did chose the wrong topic!

i'm using a ATI HD5870 GPU to crunch some WU's.
From the moment i build this GPU into the system i used the catalyst 11.2 driver (including the opencl).
(system runs windows 7 64bit)

Now this driver package is update some times since the one i use.
I thought to update my driver to catalyst 11.9
That is wehere the problems started.
The problem is not the use of this driver in combination with the system itselve.
But it looks like the WU's are slower processed by the optimzed applications.
(from lunatics site, the apps from the "installer 0.38").

It looks like the GPU is used "just for a little ", activity is low with 11.9 driver. (activity is 0% for al "long "time, then for a short time the activity is "low" for example 20%).
With the 11.2 driver the activity of the GPU is allmost constantly "high".

Anyone experienced the same?
Tried a few times uninstalling an reinstalling both 11.2 and 11.9 catalyst driver package.
I'm back to 11.2 now. it looks to me this driver is better for crunching.

but anyone an idea.. am i doing someting wrong?

grtz,

Pascal

No Pascal, thats not your fault.

Its a known issue with newer drivers (11.6. - 11.9.)

AMD is already working on it.

For crunching you better use 11.2 - 11.5.
