Anyone else having trouble with the new ATI driver version 12.2 and BOINC? I uninstalled 12.1, re-booted, installed 12.2, re-booted and got a no usable GPU found message. Upgraded to BOINC 7.0.20 : still the same. After falling back to ATI 12.1 BOINC detected my GPU as it used to. I'm running a single HD 5850 with Win XP 32. |

I think I found the answer. Driver version 12.2 for XP doesn't contain CAL anymore. So ATI 12.2 and BOINC is a big NO-GO with XP. |

If I may use this thread as I want to ask the following: Can anybody tell me what drivers will recognize the Radeon 7770 graphics card? I am upgrading from the current radeon 4870 video card to Radeon 7770 graphics card, and I would like to use it in moo wrapper. |

I have two 7950. As far as I know, there is no way to run Moo on the new GCN-architecture, because Cal is not supported by them. You have to run a project with an OpenCL-app like milkyway, collatz (poor efficiency), albert, POEM or donate. Maybe in the future there will be more projects. |

I put 2 HD7770s in a machine and went to AMDs website for the drivers. As of 03/07/2012, 12.2 was listed as the only driver. I believe the website didn't list it as 12.2, but when I downloaded it, thats what the file neme said. |

You should read this thread then: http://moowrap.net/forum_thread.php?id=200#2182 One thing it says is "7970 up and running at MW if anyone has one" |
