Re: Idling, not detected on HD 7970 [SOLVED]

UGH, figures. No sooner did I say it was working did I set my screensaver to the proper 15 minute timeout that I preferred, and when I returned to the machine the screen saver was frozen - blank white screen. No progress at all, and it took about 30 seconds to get out.. but I eventually could. So al...

Re: CUDA not detected on HD 7970

On Windows, idle is only when the FAH screensaver runs (not any others), or when the computer sets the display to sleep. Ok, so for desktop units, the screensaver is required. However I have it set to "blank" on my laptop as well while running the client, and it seems to engage the gpu no...

Re: CUDA not detected on HD 7970

Ok I left it run overnight on medium as the screen saver blank. It was at 4% when I did the test at "full", and didn't budge this morning. So same as before, and definitely enough time for it to switch to idle. I had it on screen saver "none" before this post, and I thought that ...

Re: CUDA not detected on HD 7970

Yup, it works! So meaning there is a problem with my screensaver or the fact that it's not being flagged properly as idle?

EDIT: Meaning I would ideally like to run it at medium, but seems despite the screen saver kicking in as blank... never sees it as idle. Appreciate any suggestions.

Re: CUDA not detected on HD 7970

Thanks for the rapid reply. Correct it's set at Medium. And appreciate the clarity on the CUDA... thought it had to do with certain calculations but never realized it was proprietary. Learned something. I have the screen saver set to 1 minute and ran it all day and it still did not grab on to the WU...

Idling, not detected on HD 7970 [SOLVED]

Hello everyone, Just started folding yesterday, but noticed that on my main PC, continously stays paused "waiting for idle" which never happens. Updated my Catalyst to 13.4 (not beta obviously). Here is my log, showing that the CUDA is not detected. *********************** Log Started 2013...
