I know I've read about the issue with the 6950/6970 cards and drivers past 13.1, but that was on older versions of WUs and I haven't found anything on whether newer drivers work with these newest/newer WU versions. Anyone have any answers on this? Thanks! ID: 65443 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

So it looks like that's not an issue anymore. Are you running Catalyst 15.7.1 by chance? ID: 65445 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm using the latest non-crimson driver with my 6970 and my only issue is getting enough work units to keep it busy. ID: 65530 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I'm using the latest non-crimson driver with my 6970 and my only issue is getting enough work units to keep it busy. Ain't that the truth! And I have another 6970 I want to add. I was running 12.1, then I tried 15.7.1 and noticed the GPU load wasn't as high as on 12.1 when doing 3 or 4 tasks. Also had issues with 15.7.1 doing something where a WUs would start to take like 30-40min eek! I settled on 13.1 and all is running fine @925/1375. Seems optimum at 3 WUs for max performance/points. But like you said...keeping it fed is another story! ID: 65531 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
