I bought a VisionTek RADEON HD 4870
I updated the Driver from the Website to latest Ver. there 8.510.00
And MW will not see the GPU
Any thoughts I need Help:Pokes:

Download the drivers from:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Latest version is 9.11.

Make sure you're running BOINC 6.10.x and that you didn't select the "protected application execution" option during installation. When you start BOINC it should say something along the lines of "ATI GPU 0: ATI Radeon HD 4700/4800 (RV740/RV770) (CAL version 1.4.467, 512MB, 1200 GFLOPS peak)" in the messages.

I'm not sure if Milkyway is distributing the ATI GPU app automatically yet, so you might have to set that up manually (http://www.arkayn.us/milkyway/index.html).

edit: also, none of this will work over a Remote Desktop Connection or VNC.

As stated above get the new Boinc and drivers installed And you should see the statement about ATI GPU when starting Boinc. Now for the step by step to complete the process:
1. Start Boinc.
2. Attach to MW and let it download and start work.
3. Stop Boinc completely.
4. Look in the system32 folder to see if you have Aticalrt.dll, Aticalcl.dll Aticaldd.dll or Aticalrt64.dll, Aticalcl64.dll , Aticaldd64.dll.
5. If you have these then go here (http://www.arkayn.us/milkyway/index.html) and download the Ati GPU application.
6. If you have the amdxxxxx.dll files then download the AMD GPU files.
7. Copy the 3 files app_info.xml , astronomy_0.20b_ATI_x87.exe and brook32.dll to the MW project folder.
8. Start Boinc and enjoy GPU crunching.

I could not find any of the files he listed Ati or Amd :hair:
Could the be in another folder? No I searched the drive and no files
And it still says no usable GPU found in the log

Where do I get the Aticalrt.dll, Aticalcl.dll Aticaldd.dll or Aticalrt64.dll, Aticalcl64.dll , Aticaldd64.dll. at ?

Bigred
12-12-2009, 04:30 PM
Ok, I'm going to try to cover all the possibilities so don't be offended at the questions.

1. I assume from the description of your setup that the card went into a MB that had an onboard graphics chip. Did you go into the BIOS and change the PCIe to be the primary graphics adapter?

2. Did you connect the additional power cables to the card from the power supply?

3. Did you connect the monitor cable to the card?

4. If you go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager do you see the card listed as the display device?

5. If you right click on the card and then click on properties, does it say that the device is working properley?

6. If all the above is correct then go to My Computer > c: > Windows > System32 and look for the files I mentioned before. If they are still not present then the drivers and catalyst are not properly installed.

:scratch: If this doesn't solve it then we'll have to figure something out.

I told you that this would be an adventure. I had the same thing happen on one of my systems. I installed the CAT9.1 package available here (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/9-1/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx?&lang=English) and everything worked fine. Make sure to completely remove the other one before installing.

Well a UPDATE
I got BOINC to see the GPU and the CPU
and it is calling for work from Both
But only is getting WU's for the CPU right now

I am not sure I go the CAT 9 working right yet
Does BOINC need CAT 9 to get work of GPU's ?

It sounds like you have it working now. Are the WUs crunching in the 3-4 minute range? The MW ATI app tricks Boinc into thinking that the WUs are crunching on the CPU but in fact they are using the GPU. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I see some cards that have quad GPU's Will they run 4 WU's at the same time

And the crossfire option is when you put 2 GPU cards in 1 system board

Will that let you run 2 WU's at the same time?

Bigred
12-15-2009, 01:54 AM
Multiple cards are entirely possible. Just make sure that you disable the Crossfire. Also when running more than one ATI card, each one needs a monitor or dummy plug connected to it or it will only crunch on the one with the connection. Nvidia cards don't have this problem.

A mil a day is certianly possible and would up the ante around here. It might even cause me to invest a little more.:taz:

On this card a Radeon HD4870 X2 2048MB GDDR5 PCIe 2.0 Graphics Card
Because it is a X2 does that mean it will do 2 WU's at one time
Or will it just do a WU 2 X faster

alpha
12-20-2009, 05:30 AM
The X2 boards have two GPUs so I'd guess that they do indeed crunch two work units simultaneously. Maybe someone can confirm?

Bigred
12-20-2009, 03:50 PM
The X2 does indeed indicate 2 GPUs. Boinc will recognize as many as you have installed correctly. Since the MW app is an anonymous application that fools Boinc into thinking the WU is running on a CPU instead of a GPU I don't know if it will work correctly or not. If it doesn't then you can attach to Collatz and it will run 2 at once since it uses a standard ATI GPU application. One other thought, you will have to disable crossfire for Boinc to see it as 2 GPUs.:clap:

In theory it does. Temperatures can cause wierd things to happen.:mad: I've had to put my 4890s on collatz due to this problem. If I leave them on Milkyway they get VPU errors after a couple of hours. Try pointing it at Collatz (http://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz/) to see if it will work there. Try installing just the driver without the CCC. Also Milkyway has been having some problems lately.:eek:

Try downloading from ATI's site for latest drivers (10.3) as some manufacturers sites not getting updated drivers on very fast. I'm running Folding@Home on my gpu. A bit hot but not too bad in cool English climate. I did put a better heatsink on as well cos none of the cards, especially cheaper version company's, like getting too hot.

I've had all my Nvidia cards on Collatz. They're winding down the cache from there and switching over to Milkyway. In a few days the numbers should see a dramatic increase but there are some teams with a lot of horse power on this project. As an example the top team SETI USA has over 1100 members and are pulling down over 6,000,000 credits a day.:eek:

alpha
04-25-2010, 07:43 AM
Hmm.. that's an average of ~5,500 credits/day per person on that team, which isn't much (presumably they are not all active though). If there were a few more of us with capable GPUs, I think we could approach a a few million per day but there doesn't seem to be that much interest right now for whatever reason. We're far outproducing quite a few teams above us though, so we should be able to climb the ranks.

I'll be able to switch over within a couple of weeks or so, but I'll only be good for <100k per day.

Since I've reached 75,000,000 on Collatz, tomorrow all the GPUs will be pointed at Milkyway. That plus the new card should put me somewhere around 900,000 a day. If you add in Laurenu2 and Alpha that should put the team at about 1.5 Mil. a day. I guess a lot of people just dont understand that by adding a lowly HD4850, which I found on a US retailers website for $109, they will gain about 70,000 credits a day. And to top it all off, you can put it in any old computer with a PCIe slot. I've got an old Sempron 3000 making over 70,000 a day.

Move whenever you want. Laurenu2 and I talked about doing it on Monday. We can always come back and do MW later but the team over at Dnetc only has 2 members now. With all our combined horsepower we should be able to move the team up in ranking fairly quickly.:D

When I reach 1 million blocks on RC5-72 I'll swing by over here to put down another million or two. :thumbs:

Just quoting myself for a quick update. I did pop over here again and lay down another 500k or so but I keep running out of work and end up with an idle GPU. No thanks. :(

Back to RC5-72 until this thing is more consistent.
