I am running ATI Catalyst Driver 11.12 now and it works for me on both MB and ap tasks using lunatics unified installer 0.39

Running 2ap or 2mb simultaniosly

That explains it. :)

Then my thread in this Forum wasn't such a bad idea after all....I guess

Any speed tests done in the other forum that can be shared?

Thank you Claggy.

Could you test the 11.2 drivers against the 11.12 to see if they are an actual improvement

I know going from Cat 11.2 to Cat 11.3 took 20 minutes off ATI r521 AP tasks on my HD5770, down from 1 hr 50mins to 1 hr 30 mins,
I haven't been all the way down to Cat 11.2 in many many months, so i have no benches of ATI_r390 with Cat 11.2,
but since with different ATI GPUs 'Your Mileage May Vary', it might be better that you run benches on your HD58** and HD69** ATI's,
the latest 'Knabench 2.08 for Multibeam without Applications' is available here:

Test and Benchmark Tools

you'll also want the PG shortened test Wu's from the 'MB test WU s 2/2' package, the Stock 6.03 app and dll's (as the reference app) and the app(s) you're going to test, further instructions are in the readme,

Claggy

11.5 was faster than 11.2 on my 5850 for example.
So i imagine 11.12 should be faster than 11.2. as well.
But like Claggy said it might vary on some configurations.

Thanks for the Knabench link Claggy.

I installed 12.1 preview and tested 2 WU with Knabench against 11.12
No difference at all. I guess it is the same APP (OpenCl) in them.

11.12 feels smoother in windows i think....

OK, so can somebody please give me a straightforward way of getting an Asus ATI Radeon HD6770 DirectCU running SETI ? On first installation I managed to get SETI to crunch WU's at about 5 minutes per WU. Somewhere along the line it would seem I screwed up and only succeeded in geting error messages. Have done a system restore to try and resolve issue with no success.

I am downloading WU's, but none for the Radeon GPU.

Have latest ATI driver driver (11.12) and have installed "ATI OpenCL MultiBeam 6.10 App (rev177) for Windows" from Lunatics.

Running Windows XP Pro 64 bit with an AMD Phenom 6 core 1100T and 16Gb RAM.

I cannot understand the lack of support for ATI/AMD on SETI. Throw in an Nvidia as I did (albeit on a lowly 220) and off it goes without a hitch - put in an ATI/AMD and all sorts of issues raise their ugly heads. Why is there such a lack of support for these cards on SETI - probably half the bloody world uses them.

Do your bit for science (Cancer, ET, Climate Prediction) - come and help us out.

You appear to have a lot of ATI GPU work onboard for yourself. I've had a hard time getting work for my GPU as well. It's most likely a scheduling problem.

Thanks, I'll wait and see what happens.

Nonetheless, it would be nice to know why there is such a woeful lack of support on SETI for ATI/AMD cards. Whilst people may not throw money at the project, they put their hands in their pockets and spend their hard earned cash to buy these cards to help find SETI - so why such apathy from Berkeley ?

AMD/ATI didn't write an app for Setiathome like Nvidia did, so no Stock ATI Setiathome app,

Ah, probably explains a lot. I'll persevere with SETI having been doing it since 1999 and see if I can resolve the problem. Other projects are worthwhile - but for my sins I am a SETI addict :-)

Thanks

One of your hosts has reverted to using the Stock CPU app, you'll have to reinstall the apps to get your HD5770 crunching again, and i haven't seen any completed ATI GPU tasks on that host eithier valid or pending, so you probably need to reinstall Cat 11.12 as well.

I think 2 of the computers listed are the same computer
