Lately I upgraded my display card to Sapphire Radeon R9 285. BOINC did NOT detect it as a GPU. I tried running Lunatics, no luck! It seems that BOINC only cares about Nvidia CUDA.... Any other workarounds? Might, Courage, Vision, Sincerity. Simplicity is beauty! May the Force and farces be with you! |

03/02/15 18:21:01 | | Running as a daemon OK... let me re-install... Why isn't the log reminding us the same thing? :) Might, Courage, Vision, Sincerity. Simplicity is beauty! May the Force and farces be with you! |

03/02/15 18:21:01 | | Running as a daemon Actually, I think it might be useful if the log entry read 03/02/15 18:21:01 | | Running as a daemon (GPUs not available) or words to that effect. |

Of course, if you do not read the blurb on the actual setting in the installer, you're not going to read any lines in the messages either. |

Yes, but as I've just said in the email "The restriction is mentioned in the installer and in [the Wiki], but both of those are likely to be far distant in time and space in the user's mind when they discover the problem." Especially in a case like this, when the GPU was added later - GPU computing may not even have been a twinkle in the user's eye when the installer was last run. |
