Hi all, starting from today I'm having results like this: CAL Runtime: 1.4.1016 Found 2 CAL devices Device 0: ATI Radeon HD5800 series (Cypress) 1024 MB local RAM (remote 2047 MB cached + 2047 MB uncached) GPU core clock: 1000 MHz, memory clock: 1500 MHz 1600 shader units organized in 20 SIMDs with 16 VLIW units (5-issue), wavefront size 64 threads supporting double precision Device 1: ATI Radeon HD5800 series (Cypress) 1024 MB local RAM (remote 2047 MB cached + 2047 MB uncached) GPU core clock: 1000 MHz, memory clock: 1500 MHz 1600 shader units organized in 20 SIMDs with 16 VLIW units (5-issue), wavefront size 64 threads supporting double precision ... WU completed. CPU time: 26.5358 seconds, GPU time: 92.3703 seconds, wall clock time: 94.065 seconds, CPU frequency: 2.80643 GHz ... Validate state Valid Claimed credit 0.154616492621667 Granted credit 213.756235697696 application version MilkyWay@Home v0.23 (ati13ati) Now, two things look strange: a) GPU core and memory frequencies are not the right ones, should be 780/850 according to Afterburner and GPU-Z b) too much CPU time? c) I'm also starting to have 'validate errors'.... this is the host http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/results.php?hostid=205229 Any hints about this? Thank You |

If you are having validate errors, there are two things that could be the problem: either your version of BOINC is bad, or there is a problem with the server. The first scenario would happen if BOINC is reporting results as complete if everything was not yet completely uploaded when the BOINC client told the server that a result was complete. The other scenario means that there is something wrong with the server because the validator is probably failing to find your result's files after they have been uploaded during validation. There is nothing that we can do about that. Only an administrator can fix that. |

Please be aware that 11.2 catalyst has some big problems (at least with the 5890) I reinstalled a previous version and everything is running smoothly... |

Dont use 5970s with 11.2, it has AMD acknowledged issues - roll back to 11.1. There have been reports of other cards apart from 5970s having 11.2 issues, but they are sketchy and not AMD acknowledged. For now if you have a 5970, stay away from 11.2, AMD claim they will fix it on next release. Regards Zy |

You might want to give the new 11.4 a try. It fixed all the GPU clock issues for me and includes a new version of the stream SDK/APP runtime 2.4... http://bit.ly/hoPFBu Join Support science! Joinc Team BOINC United now! |
