    Re: Getting the PPSieve WUs to run on ATI cards

    Question: Has anyone tried running two wu's concurrently like you can with MW?

    I haven't, but people have. It's not too useful because the WUs are much longer. If you're interested, change "count" to .5 in the app_info file above...

    Yeah, I did that about ten minutes after I posted the question. so far no "crash n' burn" I did notice that one wu crunches slower than the other but any increase in production is good!
    BTW: My two nVidia cards cranked out more credits than the rest of my mini farm combined. Yes, yes, I know. Apples n' Oranges......

    Thank Max I'm crunching away now. I'm finding that it take my 5870 about 21 minutes and my 4870 about 43 minutes to complete a WU. How is everyone else making out? Also do I need to bump up the memory for these or leave them low like Milk?

    Leave 'em low. And, since it's a less efficient app (running ~80% load), you can probably OC your cards higher for PG...

    I also noticed that my 4850 runs much cooler crunching PG than it does with MW. For now though I have put my ATI back on MW. I won't abandon that fight PG has replaced DNETC on my nVidia cards.

    Thanks again Maxwell for the info. Good work.

    Looks like it favours Nvidia/Cuda.....

    Re: Getting the PPSieve WUs to run on ATI cards

    I've been reading this thread and the one on BOINC GPU compatibility and have not had any luck getting my ATI HD 4650 card to work. I've tried it on Collatz and PG using 10.10, 10.11, the regular driver and the APP driver. I also tried the steps listed in post one of this thread. Not sure what to do next.

    Since I can't find it on short notice, can you point to the thread where you're discussing this? What error messages are you seeing?
