The UK team have moved ahead of IBM Taiwan to #80 in the Points rankings.

The impact of GPU processing means that target estimates are more volatile than ever, but it would appear that 3 teams are in our sights by early January 2013:
IBM Corporation #76 - 66 days; MYCHAT@TAIWAN #78 - 70 days; Michigan Tech #72 - 81 days.

As might be expected the Results rankings are in a state of flux, though the UK team at #79 appears to be making better than expected progress against MYCHAT@TAIWAN #78 - 18 days; ek$i sozluk cpu power #74 - 44 days; Kentucky Wildcats Folding Team #72 - 47 days; Ars Technica #73 - 62 days. Slightly slower progress against BOINCstats #78 - 28 days. Finland #75 have lengthened to 86 days (73 days a week ago) and Team Norway #76 having (I think) fully embraced GPU processing, have shot out from 61 days last week to a cuurent estimate of 546 days!

In the RunTime rankings, largely unaffected by GPU processing, progress is painfully slow. PlanetRomeo.com - Gays Against Aids estimated at 44 days last week are now at 41 days, whilst Team Norway at 75 days last week are now at 85 days.

The solution, of course, is more new members

@ crooks_uk

I'm just as disappointed/hacked off. My AMD Radeon 6530D crunched 16 GPU WUs with no problem, spent a day waiting for resupply and then the message " The Help Conquer Cancer ATI GPU application cannot run on your graphics card". But the card is not on the, updated, excluded list and even appears mid way down the list of top GPU cards. Updated my drivers, played around with profile settings etc, rebooted all to no avail. Being just a self taught computer user, rather than a techie, I'm out of ideas.
You're not alone regarding performance issues. The forum is littered with adverse comments. With time maybe things will settle down.

@ themoonscrescent
I've tried both 7.0.28 and currently 7.0.36 x64. with no change.

There's a discrepancy in the log though it seems to make no difference:

7.0.28
16/10/2012 12:22:36 | | ATI GPU 0: BeaverCreek (CAL version 1.4.1741, 256MB, 223MB available, 568 GFLOPS peak)
16/10/2012 12:22:36 | | OpenCL: ATI GPU 0: BeaverCreek (driver version CAL 1.4.1741 (VM), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (938.2), 256MB, 223MB available)

7.0.36
16/10/2012 13:07:30 | | ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 6x00 series (Sumo) (CAL version 1.4.1741, 256MB, 223MB available, 568 GFLOPS peak)
16/10/2012 13:07:30 | | OpenCL: ATI GPU 0: AMD Radeon HD 6x00 series (Sumo) (driver version CAL 1.4.1741 (VM), device version OpenCL 1.2 AMD-APP (938.2), 256MB, 223MB available)

I am using version 6.10.58 as provided by WCG. I would hope that WCG offer the most efficient version as a download. It should not be up to the end user to experiment with various versions to determine which one is best.

I am disappointed that WCG does not support more GPU's, as I have a fleet of them at work and unfortunately most cannot be used here. I have tried other GPU projects outside of WCG and they run without any problems on the cards not supported here.

Does anybody know if there are any plans to support these cards at a later date?

I think with the advent of GPU processing that version 6.10.58 does not have the level of control required.

Allowing GPU processing whilst using the computer makes the computer almost useless for anything else. I am taking about £3k workstations with quad/hex core xeon processors, workstation class GPU's and 24 GB Ram.

I would expect BOINC to only use spare resources for the GPU, not to render my workstation useless, in the same manner as running low priority tasks o the CPU!

I am frustrated having GPU's which could make a significant contribution to the cause and not being able to make use of them. And I don't like having to uninstall my BOINC versions as you cannot undertake GPU processing whilst installed as a service.

Rant over!
