Hi
I'm getting erroring units from milkyway and collatz.

Could this be related to boincs listing the 7970 card as:
Coprocessors CAL ATI unknown (3072MB) driver: 1.4.1658

Win7 home x64 sp1

I'm using 6.12.34 - Would using the beta version have any difference?

Thanks

BOINC all the way up to 7.0.8 won't be able to detect the GPU right, as it hasn't been taught how to do so. BOINC 7.0.9 and further will be able to do so.

Any errors you get in the calculations is something you will have to take up with the projects themselves, since it's their science applications doing the calculations and thus making the errors, not BOINC. That the GPU is recognized as an "Unknown ATI" does not matter in this, the code for the detection isn't that intricate that it would impair you if it was recognized as an Unknown, or as a 79x0 (Tahiti). As that's all that the detection does, it'll name the GPU, nothing more.

Great - thanks for that. They are failing on validation at the project end, so I'll check with them.
