Heads Up For AMD Radeon GPU Users
Posted: Mon May 30, 2016 4:10 pm
Hi all,
Just a quick heads up to all users that have AMD Radeon GPU's. I run with an AMD Radeon HD7900 Series.
I just this morning accepted an update to the drivers & software via the Catalyst Control Centre. Once installed it blew BOINC WU's running on the GPU out of the water. Before the install I was running at 100% success rate at a fair old click, but after the update 100% failure rate with "Computational Error" in 1 second of starting each WU. I clocked up 120+ failed WU's in short order.
I rolled back to Radeon Software Version 16.3.1
After the rollback all is well again. Not sure yet if it was a glitch in my install (everything else seemed to be working well), but BOINC WU's on the GPU did not like something.
