Since I've recently acquired the title of ' back stabbing deserter ' - I can offer to help :D

Post us a link to the WU in question.

How many invalid wus are you getting ? Everyone gets a few - nothing to worry about - but if it's a high percentage then watchout ! :eek:

For what its worth, I fired up a 4870x2 last night using the optimised app and every result was invalid, dont know why.
I detached and re-atached using standard app and all was well :confused:

My boinc version 6.10.56

Client but yours should be fine : Running Milkyway@home ATI GPU application version 0.20b (Win64, CAL 1.4) by Gipsel

dll used : CAL Runtime: 1.4.696

Maybe try to roll back your boinc version and cal runtime as provide by the ATI drivers.

Might be worth taking a cheeky look at what cyclo is using :D

ps You're running 4x5850s at stock right ?

Glad to hear it it S'ah, I wouldnt exactly call your contribution small, you have the forth highest RAC in the team.

.......you must try to disguise your modesty better than that :D

HELP again!!!:eek:


Finally got a clean install of XP64 up and running rolled back to CAL 1.4.636 installed the dummy plugs extended the desktop. Boinc sees all 4 gpu's and crunches 4 tasks.

All good so far, also the forrest of invalids is gone BUT ive just noticed that two of the workunits are running on one gpu with gpu3 load at zero.


Any ideas, im running the stock app.:confused:

Finally i think i have the 5970's running:)

I had to fit the crossfire bridge enable crossfirex and only have one dummy plug on the second card extending the desktop to that.
Before i removed one of the dummy plugs i had 6 WU's running all very strange.

The good thing is ive just overtaken Mr cyclo (parp) for RAC:D

My RAC graph is almost vertical and thats from only 3 gpu's:eek:

Good to see your RAC is going the same way Mr halz:)

Almost forgot this..........
