I have a 7790 GPU in my computer if I install a driver after the 12.5 beta I see the following when I load up BOINC:

If I have 13.5 then I get this extra line:
03-Oct-13 18:52:45 | | CAL: ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 7790 series (Bonaire) (CAL version 1.4.1741, 1024MB, 966MB available, 2408 GFLOPS peak)

Any idea's how I can use a later driver?

I have another computer with a 7870XT and it seems to show CAL all the time?

I'm not sure I understand what your problem is? Don't you want to use a later driver than 13.5? Or don't you want to use 13.5? Or do you explicitly want to use 12.5?

That the 12.5 driver may not see the CAL portion of the GPU, could be because at that time the driver didn't know about the HD7790. This GPU is one from March 2013.

I guess I'd like to use a driver later than 13.5 (12.5 was a typo).

for some reason all the later ones don't detect CAL?
