    Z, it is somewhere under a thread you have to have been approved to view. Normal peons don't have access Send a PM to Robert at the Polish National Team and he can add you to the thread. He needs your forum login name ... not password.

    He said a GTX 680 does better with the OpenCL app but the GTX 5xx do better with the old app. You can either download NVidia wu (if you have a cuda card in the machine) and then using the app_info you can get the ATI and NVidia to both crunch.

    You can also install an app_info that downloads CPU tasks and crunches them on the ATI ... you use this method if you don't have a Cuda card.

    They recommend 12.1 drivers (or higher) and that is why I can't try it. My machines are loaded with CAT 11.5 and I won't be back home for another 3 weeks. I'm afraid to try a driver uninstall/install remotely.

    Thanks for the forum info. I will PM him.

    As for downloading ATI tasks, all you need to do is select them in preferences. You may also need to select test apps too. Not sure as I did both at once, and I have ATI apps now. Those options may be very new.

    For the 5870s, I got nothing but validate errors. So I upgraded from 12.1 to 12.3, and now my machine is locked up. It is remote, so it will be a day or two before I can figure the problem.

    Sorry to hear. I'll wait to see how you make out.

    Thanks Z,

    Tried out the 3850 and got no new task... Was really hoping there would finally be a decent project for this card but they are always trying to throw us old folks out...
