Catalyst 7.1 availiable

This should hopefully fix any issues with the F@H client

I have 6.9s currently. Would there be really any difference cause im not having any problems at all?

The gpu folding client is very particular about the drivers - it can speed it up, cause errors or slow it down for example.

Eh i dont use it on the GPU so that dosent matter to me. Only on the server.

 

[mrapoc]

Should be more stable overall tho

This is relevant to anyone folding with a GPU at present.

The new Catalyst drivers released today 2007/01/10, version 7.1 (8.33) do not work with regard to folding on your GPU. The new drivers will cause the folding GPU core to continuously EUE on WUs, producing an "mdrun_gpu returned 114" error.

The only versions of Catalyst that work with the GPU client are:

* 6.5

* 6.10

* 6.11

The GPU client will work with these drivers with a significant performance hit:

* 6.6

* 6.7

The following drivers do not work at all with the GPU client:

* 6.8

* 6.9

* 6.12

* 7.1

Hmm quite confusing. Ill leave the servers CPU to do that.

 

[mrapoc]

Theres CPU folding and then theres GPU folding - GPU folding is a LOT faster ^^

aye, i don't understand the science of it, but when you think GPU's are specialized hardware for rendering thousands of frames and objects/collisions a second, theyll be good for F&H. I wonder if they'll provide support for folding on physx accelerators. if they do that could unleash serious bum kick.

On a more on topic note, i can't wait for 7.1 omega drivers to come out, should be good :yumyum:

Nowadays I stick to official drivers but I used to use omega drivers
