Hello!

Since the upgrade to Catalyst 11.11 I´m getting calculation errors on my ATI graphics cards. I checked the install, everything is ok. I´m running the latest BOINC version. Before the upgrade everything was fine and nothing else was altered. All other stuff except Milkyway runs fine.

System 1:
Win 7 64bit
4x ATI 4850 PCI-E

System 2:
Win 7 32bit
1x ATI 3850 AGP

Same here. Computation errors all over.
Work will be between 1 and 3 seconds, then error.

Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit
AMD 965 BE 3.4Ghz
2 X XFX ATI HD4890 1GB DDR5 CrossfireX mode

I've used the 11.11 and 11.12 CCC drivers.

Log says finished, Status in client all says computation error. Is this normal?

Go back to the 11.9 drivers, the newer ones are best for gaming not crunching.

Mikey,
Thanks for the advice and quick reply.
Removed the current drivers, installed 11.9
Blasting through WU about 2min 2sec each.

That sounds good! I am out of units on one of my pc's right now so I am not doing as good, it is a project thing not a pc thing.

I have a ATI HD 6870 and Milky says that I don't have the necessary computing power? 2TB/s isn't fast enough? I bought my system specifically to work with BOINC projects, and yours is a main one. What do I need to do to get this puppy crunching with your project? Using Catalyst 11.12 made sure I had Open CL SDK 2.6.

Specs are:
MS Windows 7 64-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
Thuban 45nm Technology
RAM
8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 535MHz (7-7-7-19)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-890GPA-UD3H (Socket M2)
Graphics
Generic Non-PnP Monitor (1600x1200@60Hz)
AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner)

1/14/2012 8:00:42 PM | Milkyway@Home | Message from server: An ATI GPU supporting double precision math is required
1/14/2012 8:00:42 PM | Milkyway@Home | Message from server: Your NVIDIA GPU lacks the needed compute capability (1.3, required for double precision math

Other projects are utilizing my 6870 just fine just so ya know. Thanks for the option to be able to help in this project! :) Also let me know if I just need to wait for a new Milkyway update too.

Your 68xx card does not have double precision.
The other projects don't need double precission.
From the 6000 series you would need a 69xx to run MW on it.
See the GPU requirement thread in the number crunching section for more info.

What he said. Here's a page laying out ALL the ATI cards deatails, including which has DP, in nice easy to compare charts.
