just for curiosity i change drivers back to 13.4,no change still got the gpu and memory clocks bouncing like pinball machines,activity bounces as well,not steady.tried playing one of my graphic intense games,shows the same thing activity wise as well as the clocks,very unstable.so i think ive ruled out it being boinc.i tried varying the voltage at the bottom of ccc,+or- 2,didnt make any differance.ive googled this problem,wording it several differant ways,all im findig is alot of people having trouble with 7790 cards,and not a lot of answers.

While two 7770 cards are working, I can't seem to get a 7850 to work. It just sits in low power (300MHz) mode and goes very slowly. Tried setting up 2d and 3d profiles in Afterburner to force it to run at speed but no go. Works fine on all other projects though.

Now Iv'e gotten 2 out of 3 7790 GPUs running. The 3rd one refuses to run Moo but runs everything else perfectly. Completion time for the 7790 is about 70% of the 7770. Still no luck on the 7850 cards.

Have you tried BOINC Client 7.2.16? Iam running with Catalyst 13.9 too but only one card. Dont know if this helps.

I have now successful run it on HD7950 with 13.4 driver but against 5xxx/6xxx serie poor speed. It must have 30%-40% more speed increase. The client still needs some optimizations with 7xxx serie.

Get now working stream client.

Thx for the infos below. Good luck!

Indeed, but I could still add an advanced scheduler option that makes the scheduler to only ask for one resource even though the tasks will use all GPUs in the end.

This would probably be easier than to make the full support for running one task per GPU but this would be first step anyway. (Such scheduler modification is needed anyway eventually.)

Hello,

Hmm, if other projects are working and we are not then it must be us setting the "use all GPUs on the host for crunching one WU" switch. New BOINC Client must have some critical bugs regarding that setting where they think we never have enough resources to crunch. :(

I'll try to find some time to upgrade my host to latest stable BOINC Client and see what happens.

Thanks!
I just set the fan control to manual while I crunch.
For some reason, even though the dips in GPU usage
are not long enough for the temps to drop much on the card
the fan dips right down when the gpu usage drops.

The application number is shown inside the Stderr for completed WUs as:
Distributed.net Client v1.03 (ati14)
Try changing:
<version_num>130</version_num>
To:
<version_num>103</version_num>
(dnetc_wrapper_1.3_windows_intelx86__ati14.exe is correct, dont change that)

He very well may do .... Collatz has always been the premier sea of calm inside the BOINC maelstrom. Nice Project to go to if you want a respite to recharge the 'ol BOINC batteries before launching back into the tempest of BOINCLand :)

He runs a good Project, so guaranteed if he goes for one, it will be a solid good performer. He's a stand up guy who calls it how it is .... that defenitely works for me ... I detest the ego driven hype syndromes that fly around. RegardsZy

I released the OS X app first because there was no AMD support for OS X. That being said, I actually created the app on Windows first because I prefer VS 2010 over XCode as an IDE. So yes, there is a Windows OpenCL version that runs on both nVidia and AMD. Performance is lousy compared to the Brook+/CAL app though. So, I'll have to come up with a way so that if the GPU supports CAL, the server will send it the ATI app and if not, will send the OpenCL app.

GPUGRID will I suspect come up with an AMD winner as they have been planning and aiming at the GNU application for many months.

I'll change to 11.9 see what happens - send out a search party if I am not back in 30 mins rofl :) Regards Zy

That 100% loading stopped as soon as the fragmented units arrived - been jumping around on utilisation ever since. The closer to 12 (in the second last number in file name) it gets the more the utilisation. As crude examples ...

.... _400_768 will get around 9min + utilisation everywhere in band 65-99%

.... _12_768 will pretty well be on the money 8mins utilisation around 99%
