So, I wonder if this will translate to moa-betta GPU apps for BOINC. :)

I'm running my hd 5850. I checked the hd5770 today and it's fine. The hd5850 is at 30 hours and 83% complete. It seems I have a big problem going on here. Temps are at 60*c and output is at 0%. WTF??? I'd be thinking its fried butr I'm using it with no problems..l....except it's barely crunching. What are the best drivers for it? I really don't want to start messing around with a bunch of different ones and get it more confused than it is now.Quote:

EDIT -- WAHAHAHAHAHAHA......WAHAHAHAHAHA. Got it figured out. That little comment I made not too long ago about a computer relying on a gpu far more than anything......yeah. My VM was sucking the life right out of the 5850 despite me not doing anything with the gpu on that front. Ok. The VM work is getting finished up today and going back into the nether for a 3while until I need it for a cpu task again.
With VirtualBox, it's important that you install the Extension Pack on both the host and guest O/S's. That helps a lot on the GPU utilization for a VM. (And even things like USB benefit from that more efficient code that adds.)
