| 1) Message boards : GPUs : AMD6790 slow as Intel HD4000
Message 70769 Posted 10 Jul 2016 by zhudahai |
Testing out an old AMD HD 6790 (Actually Asus EAH6790) video card. Boinc says its rated at 2688 GFLOPS Peek, yet it is only running about as fast as the built-in Intel HD 4000 rated at 147 GFlops Peek. This is: Windows 10 64bit Intel i7-3770K 4GB RAM 300GB Disk/ 224GB Free 75% CPU usage (so one CPU is free to feed GPUs) Seti@Home Work Units. Example AMD Work Unit: 45% Complete @ 58 Minutes on 70,727 GFLOPs Work Unit Size 46% Process Rate Per hour Example Intel Work Unit: 41% Complete @ 60 Minutes on 70,727 GFLOPs Work Unit Size 41% Process Rate Per hour MSI Afterburner says AMD Radepm HD 6700 Series running at 93% usage So, according to the Boinc Benchmarks, my AMD GPU should be running about 18x faster than the Intel HD GPU and a 70,747 GFLOP Work Unit should take about 8 minutes on the 6790 GPU! P.S. I have downloaded and installed the latest AMD 6790 Drivers and install the latest AMD Catalyst Control Center. What have I got screwed up here? |

Richie! Thank you! I forgot about the 'multiple location' options in Seti. I was looking for cc_config.xml before and did not find it. Figured it was for an older release and didn't use it any more. I'll try creating it and see how that works. Thanks again! |

I need to disable (not suspend) GPU computing on a specific PC. I don't want Boinc downloading any GPU tasks and having them just sit there. The only post I've been able to find about this was from 2012, that said you could do this, but didn't say how. I want GPU computing on my other PC, just not this one. How to do that? Thanks! |
