Hi,

Unfortunately, the D.Net devs are still having problems getting the new series cards to run properly. It was running for a while but then the driver got updated and things broke again. :(

One problem might be that there's not that many ATI hackers amongst them. Last I heard there was one dev planning on working on the problem, but no other news from him yet.

Is there lot of you that have upgraded their cards are now unable to participate here (but you would want to)?

No real reason in terms of the 11.X driver sets, cant compare the 10.X ones. There has been a lot of activity for 6XXX in the change from 11.5 to 11.6, no idea if its significant in BOINC terms for 6XXX.

Otherwise an unremarkable upgrade from a BOINC perspective, its well into the "if it aint broke dont fix it" category :)

EDIT: One caviat ..... there is a question mark for 4XXX users. Its looking like the OpenCL driver set (2.4) downloaded with 11.6 will prevent 4XXX users running any AMD OpenCL 2.4 apps. Still trying to get 100% fact, but previous rumblings from AMD indicated this would happen, and already some PG 4XXX users switching to 11.6 fell over on the PPS Sieve app, so its looking likely. Still has "rumour" status until confirmed, but if anyone is a 4XXX user, be wary until that aspect is verified or not.
