I tried searching the threads for this but have not found anything. I have 2 HD 5870M in xfire and for whatever reason Boinc sees them as "57xx series" so i keep getting the message from milkyway that "an ati gpu supporting double precision math is required" does the HD 5870M (mobile version) does not work with the program or am I totally missing something? |

Hello, as I understand you have a notebook with two 5870. None of the AMD-mobile graphic cards supports double precision. The naming as 5870 is IMHO irritating. Sorry! |

I have a similar card crunching Collatz. Yours could too. |

The "HD5870 mobile" is actually a HD5770, so BOINc is almost correct. You could also give the new POEM OpenCL app a try. From my point of with a far better investment of computation time than Collatz. Works best with an app_info and multiple WUs per cards, though. MrS Scanning for our furry friends since Jan 2002 |

Ok, thank you so much for the feedback! I was going crazy trying to figure it out. |
