    PrimeGrid: I can't get PPS Sieve Work

    OK. I'm doing something wrong, and I can't figure it out...

    I'm trying to crunch PPS Sieve on my AMD 6950. I have the latest AMD driver installed, as well as the SDK thing they say it needs. Win7x64. BOINC 7.2.42. PG account has Use ATI/OpenCL checked, as well as the OpenCL option for the PPS Sieve subproject (and nothing else is checked). Card has been crunching away fine on other projects. I ask for PPS Sieve work, and I get this every time:

    8/8/2014 6:23:34 PM | PrimeGrid | update requested by user
    8/8/2014 6:23:36 PM | PrimeGrid | Sending scheduler request: Requested by user.
    8/8/2014 6:23:36 PM | PrimeGrid | Requesting new tasks for ATI
    8/8/2014 6:23:37 PM | PrimeGrid | Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks

    No error, nothing.

    So where do I start with debugging? A nearly identical setup has the same issue, but is crunching the Genefer (WR) WUs just fine. I'm lost...

    Update: Am I just a moron and should have looked here first? I mean, is this still accurate?

    Do I just need to go post a link to this thread in the "I'm a moron" thread?

    No need to re-post. We all do that kinda stuff from time to time. In this case no harm, no foul. If we start double guessing ourselves when the answer isn't immediately apparent, then the forums would be so boring. lol

    I turned my ATI GPU towards Genfer instead.

    Ditto. I have one 6950 on the World Record ones, and one on the short ones.

    On a side note, they seem to have turned on OpenCL PPS Sieve work. I woke up to find several WUs crunching away on the 6950s...
