The new gpu box says R7 265 but everything on the computer including event log says 7800 series. The GFLOPS are in line with what the R7 should be. Did I get ripped off? |

That's what happens when companies want to release a New card every year so their fanboys will buy the New card just so they can have the latest tech. Something like nVidia raising the clock on a 8800GTX and calling it a GTS250. The r265 is a rebranded 7850, which is an upgraded version of my 6850. It seems to be a little faster than my 6850 so...no harm.

Thanks TBar, for all your help. As long as I get the necessary gflops I'm happy. |

Installing the most recent driver may change the name it is displaying. It looks like you have Cat 13.12 installed on that system. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |

Hal, Would there be some necessity for me to install a different driver? |

Hal, Necessary? I don't think so. I think I waited until May or June to bother installing 14.4 & before that. I think I had gone from 12.4 to 12.12 SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours Join the [url=http://tinyurl.com/8y46zvu]BP6/VP6 User Group[ |
