Any pointers on how to go forward?

Any pointers on how to go forward?

Fifth Stickie down:

Optimised Applications and Other Binaries, 2nd edition - Read Only

Get the Lunatics 0.41 Installer for your OS version, x32 or x64, Run it, select the apps you want to run for your CPU and AMD Bonaire, restart Boinc.

Thank you!
Up and working!

Should I run the same software on the computer running fine native?

The Lunatics 0.41 Installer doesn't include Intel GPU apps at the moment, so run Stock on those, (at least until an Installer becomes available with Intel GPU apps)
you could run the Optimised apps on your CPU only crunchers (and your HD7770 host), they would benefit from the fsater CPU apps.

Thanks for the tech!

OK, you show that it's NOT over your current knowledge after all ;)

(I don't give direct pointers to how to install optimized apps unless user asks, improper setting of those may do more bad than good and if the user is inexperienced it's hard to explain how to fix things back to normal - some can't find where is app_info.xml)

Your previous posts like:
"My preferences are set to use the Intel GPU. Am I not using it?" (which is easily seen by any tool showing GPU load; also in BOINC Manager; also processes in Windows Task Manager)
"Excuse my ignorance, but where is it obvious in the details?"
"I'm not seeing what you are saying. ... I see no difference in the details"

... made me believe you don't qualify ;)


Available stock Applications - the info in ( ) show if it's for GPU and which type, e.g. 7.03 (opencl_intel_gpu_sah)

The problem with those new ATI AMD GPUs is that in the new drivers AMD (seem to) dropped support for CAL (old ATI Computing language, now superseded by OpenCL)
The SETI@home server (as is now) checks for reported CAL version to determine if driver is OK for SETI@home
This obviously have to be fixed.

It's all good.

Getting a nice bump!

Just my two cents worth. Came back to Seti with two Diamond R7240D51GXOC, Radeon R7 240s in crossfire. They are beasts compared to my CPU (of course). They are ripping through work units at about thirty to forty minutes a piece. My RAC is 2367 and climbing. Getting ready to build another system out of spare components, I have two AMD 5670s available. I'm interested to see how they compare.

Anyhow, Peace and good luck to all. Keep crunching.

So, I have my Radeon 5670s running with no problems. Using Sapphire Trixx for overclocking, basing my clock on temps and stability. The R6 240s are also crunching right along. Disabled ULPS in the registry so I don't have to rely on software to allow the cards to run in parallel; no power saving. My RAC should continue to climb substantially, we'll see.

Peace and keep crunching.

Proof positive that you don't need the latest, greatest hardware to post a respectable RAC. System one; AMD Phenom XII 970 paired with a couple of Radeon R7 240s and system 2; AMD Phenom XII 620 paired with a couple of Radeon 5670s. Heading for 11,000 RAC. The latter system can lag a bit, the former still runs quite well even with maximum resources allocated to SETI.

Phenom II X4s... sorry for the nomenclature mistake....
