1) Message boards : Number crunching : v0.18/v0.19 issues here (Message 30816) Posted 14 Sep 2009 by Antonello Post: Finally I found a working combination on XP32. I have a HD 4870 512MB. I used Catalyst 9.7, 0.19g with SSE2 and calculation is going on without BSOD! I have BOINC 6.10.3.0 Previously I tried: Catalyst 9.9 with 0.19f sse2, Catalyst 9.9 with 0.20 and Catalyst 9.7 with 0.20. Version 0.20 downloads only 6 packets and will not begin to work.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Catalyst 9.7 released (Message 28348) Posted 25 Jul 2009 by Antonello Post: I have tried all 9.x...same result as verstapp! Always GPU errors. I didn't try 8.12...but I am a gamer..so I don't want to get back =)
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Catalyst 9.6 (Message 26293) Posted 23 Jun 2009 by Antonello Post: i have same problems with 9.4 9.5 and 9.6 :(. Always getting VPU errors (and losing wu). But I like to play...so I can't revert to 8.12! I will wait for newer catalyst...i hope they will fix it. I'm on XP32 + 4870.Or I will upgrade to Seven 64bit...after summer..so I will solve my problems (i hope..)
4) Message boards : Number crunching : ATI GPU app 0.19f fixes the ps_sgr_208_3s errors (Message 24732) Posted 9 Jun 2009 by Antonello Post: it's a great step forward in stability this new app! But I still have problems. I begin the Milkyway adventure with an ATI HD 4870, Catalyst 9.3 and 0.19d on Windows XP 32bit. Then I tried catalyst 9.4 and 9.5 and 0.19e and this new release. I must say that now I can crunch many WU...but it's not still stable 100% because I get VPU recovery when I do other things while 4870 is working. Even if I scroll a webpage I get VPU and all WU stop working. Previously I always had reboot and I could manage working only a few WU. I see today that server is feeding good WU..finally :). Investigate please on this problem. Maybe it's a Catalyst/Brook+ problem...that will be fixed in Cat 9.6 ?
