1) Message boards : GPUs : GTX 760 192 bit (Message 64643) Posted 3 Oct 2015 by Daniel Post: Bored to compute with no feedback or moral support. My friends are not agreed with me regarding BOINC. None of my friends outside in the real world are interested in BOINC either, however you can talk to other BOINC enthusiasts on the project forums. You could also join a team. I joined a team earlier this year which has a forum where you can talk to other members. It has definitely made crunching more interesting. I hope you keep going with it. There are lots of great projects doing important research and I'm sure they appreciate your contribution. What is your opinion on this matter ? I have some GTX760 GPUs as well, I haven't had any problems with them either. 2 sites that I have found useful for comparing graphics cards are ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units and .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units Some project applications use double precision, while others use single precision, so it depends on which project you're crunching for as to which is most important. Your new GPU can do more GFLOPS in both single and double precision than your old one so you should see an improvement in the time it takes you to complete workunits.

3) Message boards : GPUs : Question regarding Radeon HD 5450 (Message 45780) Posted 25 Sep 2012 by Daniel Post: Thanks for the explanation about why OpenCL wouldn't work. I tried installing v11.1 of the drivers but I think they're too old for my hardware. I went through the installation process but after I rebooted, Windows still said that it had detected new hardware & prompted me to install drivers. Also Catalyst Control Center didn't appear. I've gone back to v12.8 of the drivers for now. I think I'll give up on this one. Thanks, Daniel
4) Message boards : GPUs : Question regarding Radeon HD 5450 (Message 45770) Posted 24 Sep 2012 by Daniel Post: Thanks for your suggestions, unfortunately I haven't had any luck. I have tried installing v12.1 of the driver but Boinc Manager still can't detect my GPU. I then tried v11.12, but still Boinc couldn't detect it. After each driver install I ran a GPU diagnostics program called "GPU Caps Viewer" but in both cases it couldn't detect OpenCL support. I finally followed the instructions regarding cleaning up old driver files using "Driver Sweeper". I then tried installing v12.1 again, but again Boinc couldn't detect it and GPU Caps Viewer didn't detect OpenCL support. I have contacted the manufacturer's tech support people and am waiting for a reply. If I find a solution I'll post it here. Best Regards, Daniel
5) Message boards : GPUs : Question regarding Radeon HD 5450 (Message 45759) Posted 24 Sep 2012 by Daniel Post: Hello, I have a Radeon HD 5450 Graphics card made by HIS Digital(HIS 5450 Silence 512MB DDR3 PCI DVI/HDMI/VGA). A link to the manufacturer's product website is below ... http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-580.shtml On the product box it says it is designed for OpenCL 2.0 I thought I might be able to use it with BOINC. I have BOINC Manager v7.0.28 and am running Windows XP Home Edition (32-Bit) SP-3. I have installed the latest AMD Catalyst Drivers (v12.8). When I start BOINC Manager I get the message "No usable GPUs found" in the event log. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to get it working ? Best Regards, Daniel P.S.
