Thanks TJ,
things to think about.

I guess that's why someone told me to use Display Driver Uninstaller before reinstalling my amd driver.
Well, MW, seti, and collatz use amd quite well and Einstein is working on a win 64bit version, so maybe I stick with amd.

But from what I've heard 'they' are really trying to squash using gaming cards for crunching. Then we're screwed.

mikey,
Looks like maybe you got it.
Super. Boy, it must be murder putting these cards in one at a time.

Tremendous thanks,

I already have it on my computer. Whenever I have looked at it (occasionally) it shows the 7770 at 0% usage.

I have it open to that tab and will keep an eye on it throughout the day.
Thanks

I just set up the log file so I don't have to go blind starring at the screen.

I just read the prior thread about the amd's are for gaming and ignore parts of the programming that crunchers use. I am in the beginning of putting together a new rig. It sounds like it's time to switch to Nividia. Any comment?

I tried it but it didn't work. Originally I just had cc_config with just the all_gpus... but I changed it to your version but it still didn't work.

The 7850/7870 is the one I call my r7 265 and it is the one that is running and is faster than my 7770 which is not running but it was running initially for a few wu's. Or so it seemed. I haven't tried to check the results to confirm this that they actually completed but my MSI Afterburner and SIV64 showed at the time that the 7770 was running.

They both run when I do seti work.

I run a stock boinc - the latest stable version.

--edit

Every once in a while, I'll see a spike up on my graph for the 7770. But nothing show's up on the boinc mgr.

In the beginning, boinc was using 2 gpu's but now it will only run with the r7 265.

Sometimes my computer uses one and sometimes two gpu's. I have a hd 7770 and a r7 265. What would cause this?

Sorry,
I had a question. Then answered it myself and didn't know how to delete it.
