XFX Radeon 6770 low work load

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

XFX Radeon 6770 low work load

Post by ODIN_ALL_FATHER »

I have a decent rig (about to get two 7990's to overkill) but right now I have a 6770 OC'ed to 1010/1290 1gb, I have noticed and it bugs me, that my work load is sitting at 33-35%, I will be damned if I spent all that time OC'ing this for it not to take advantage of ALL OF IT!!!!

So, on that note, How do I get this thing busy?

Which version of the Catalyst drivers are you using? The latest folding stable release known is 12.8. Persons have managed to get later versions such as 12.10 and 13.1 to work at by doing custom installs of the driver and the OpenCL support. Those are discussed in two long topics in this forum.

I'm running 13.1, and I also downloaded the separate OpenCL drivers, it runs, just not very fast.

With the proper drivers the GPU should have full utilization.
