Is there any recomendation what ati driver one should use with an ATI5850
I've been testing a few and made 8% in 4 minutes with driver 11.9 and then my GPU clock downclockes for some reason and speeds gets very slow......
very slow==1task in 10 hours

I'm using a ATI 6970, and get about a 70% GPU load all the way through the app, at least during the several times I was looking. As for what SDK I used, I dunno, I just searched for "ATI SDK 2.5 on AMD's site. After I installed that, I ended up upgrading to the Radeon 11.11 drivers, with the APP installed as well.

Nope, simply depends on the GPU...
I did set my GPU clock speed higher than the default, but that wouldn't stop it from lowering the speed on low load. I don't know why I would be getting a higher load consistently than the rest of you guys.

Since we currently use SDK 2.5 to build the app, you need at least Catalyst 11.7.

No idea about the downclocking. How about the AMD developer forums? May there's a hint about a low level driver setting WRT power-saving? Which OS do you use?

FYI, if you run the latest drivers you don't need to install the SDK...

All of the ATI drivers since Catalysts 11.3 do this downclocking of the GPU clock speed. If someone doesn't want that to happen, they should use Catalysts up to 11.2, not play any of the newest games, not hope for any fixes in the latest OpenCL additions, etc. etc.
All of the Nvidia drivers since do this downclocking the R190 drivers.
Sorry, I haven't read the whole thread yet, just in case someone answered already: this error simply means that your GPU doesn't have enough memory available. You need at least a 512 MB graphics card.
In any case, if you see this error, you can't run our current app.
Sorry,
Oliver
Actually, this is a 1GB card, so it greatly exceeds the 512MB requirement for the application. Is there any other reason that this error could occur?

I am seeing the same thing.

I am seeing the same thing. It goes at a normal rate for the first 20% or so, then takes like 10 hours to complete the balance. This is on a 5870.

Thank you for that

Thank you for that Zoombie.
Now I now I am not alone with that problem...
Tank:
I saw a anonymous Computor with a 69xx doing a task in aprox 1 hour too...
Maybe it is a difference in the drivers regarding 69xx compared to 58xx.
Or maybe it is in the app itself.....
And regarding the downclocking when GPU is idle might have something to do with newer drivers energy saving, I am not sure of that yet.
Now I have 11.11 installed and 40 albert tasks that won't download..
I'll se what happends in a few hours when server is fixed.
