I bought a 7970 for my main PC (BOINC installed it worked fine with the 5870). So I put my old 5870 in another PC wich used a G210 before. BOINC recognizes the GPU but just doesnt use it. I tried like everything I could think of. Deinstalled everything from Nvidia used different drivers (currently 11.3). Re-installed BOINC like 7 times (ProgrammData too). GPU is allowed to be used all the time. Tried 7.2.5. What do you guys need to help me? I would really appreciate some ideas. |

You did go through Your Account to the Project preferences, edit those and change Use ATI GPU Enforced by version 6.10+ to yes and Use NVIDIA GPU Enforced by version 6.10+ to no ?? You also made sure that you accept work for everything? Run only the selected applications SETI@home Enhanced: yes SETI@home v7: yes AstroPulse v6: yes If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications? yes |

08.09.2013 14:47:03 | | No config file found - using defaults Biggest part is you do not have the OpenCL drivers installed on this system as BOINC is not detecting them. I think the current driver is old enough that OpenCL was not included in it. http://www.hal6000.com/seti/boinc_ati_gpu_cheat_sheet.htm I would recommend at least 11.8 or so for that card. You currently have 11.3 installed. |

08.09.2013 14:47:03 | | CAL: ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 5800/5900 series (Cypress/Hemlock) (CAL version 1.4.1332, 1024MB, 992MB available, 5440 GFLOPS peak) You're missing the OpenCL part of the drivers. And then Seti won't send you any work, as it'll need the OpenCL part. CAL version 1.4.1332 means you're using Catalyst 11.3, a little bit old. The present drivers for your card and Windows 7 32-bit that are available from AMD are the Catalyst 13.4. You'd better try to update first. Do uninstall the old drivers first. |

Already had 13.4 installed. But I'll try it again. |

By default, BOINC only uses the GPU when the system is idle. You have 27 tasks that can run on the GPU now (opencl_ati5_cat132). All you have to do is either set that BOINC should use the GPU always, or stay away from the keyboard for whatever amount of time is set for the idle detection. |
