1) Message boards : Number crunching : app_info.xml to run MW@H GPU WU's for R9 3xx cards (Message 64279)

It's killing me that my new R9 390 won't crunch GPU work units. I'm told this app_info.xml needs to be created and saved somewhere?
I'd appreciate some help on doing this for a Win7 64 bit system.


Hey Chooka,

I figured it out for Windows 10 x86_64, but the instructions should be the same for Windows 7. The easy way is to:

    1. Download this zip file.
    2. Shutdown the BOINC client
    3. Extract the contents of the ZIP to C:/ProgramData/BOINC/projects/milkyway.cs.rpi.edu_milkyway.
    4. Start BOINC again.



If you do not trust the ZIP file, extract app_info.xml from it, and download the executables yourself. Happy crunching :D.[/quote]
