Message 1652049 - Posted: 12 Mar 2015, 12:39:07 UTC

Installed in one of my computers is a AMD Radeon HD 5450 card, 2Gb of DDR3 RAM. I can't seem to get it to pick any work units. Perhaps is a PCI-E card that won't process WUs. I don't know. Here's my computer info:

Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 dual core CPU
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
4 Gbs. Crucial DDR RAM

The card is installed in the bottom most PCI-E slot.
I would appreciate some help on this. Thanks.

Card is recognized by Boinc, so that's not the problem. I'm sure you did enable the use of ATI cards in your account settings? What does event log say?

You are using Cat 11.2 from February of 2011. IIRC the minimum required version for ATI apps is 11.12. You can use the latest driver 14.12, but personally I'm sticking with 14.4 for the moment.

Thst's an absolutely ancient driver, with only CAL support, No OpenCL support.

Update your video drivers.

Sharpshooter,

Hal and have pointed out what appears to be the problem. You will probably need to update your driver to the version he recommended.

Edit...

Just saw Claggy bet me to it, lol
