@cjslman: you said: I'm currently running 6.10.58.<--- That is most likely your problem. Update boinc.

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=6698&sort=5#45639

For my experience, I upgraded from 6.10.58 to the latest release 7.0.28 version and still got Invalids, except for 2 WUs that got marked as Valid (2 out of maybe ~20 I received during the BETA period). Never could figure out why the Invalids even with the latest video driver, just assumed some hardware spec was lower or missing on that older card than what the newer/more expensive cards have. It's a mystery. pumpkin Poor card didn't make it to the magical seems to work list. good luck Maybe someone else will have better luck. peace

Re: HCC GPU WUs are "Invalid"
@nanoprobe - I also updated my boinc to the latest version, also updated all of the drivers for the card. I have never seen my 5450 return a valid result.

What OS and what driver version are you using?

Re: HCC GPU WUs are "Invalid"
My 5450 also didn't ever return a valid result. So I updated to the latest BOINC version - no success. Some data:

Windows 7-64
ATI 5450, 512MB
BOINC 7.0.28 (x64)
Catalyst 12.8

Astropulse 5 results were valid when I had the ATI work on that some time ago.

Regards,
Martin

Try updating boinc to 7.0.36 and drivers to 12.11 beta. Uninstall both before you update to the newer versions.

Re: HCC GPU WUs are "Invalid"
Yesterday I upgraded from 7.0.28 to 7.0.36 and also updated my AMD drivers from 12.8 to 12.10 and voila, no more invalids (*touching wood*) even when running 4 WUs in parallel on my HD7970. Try it out. (I did not uninstall old drivers, however it is probably a good thing to do just to be on the safe side).

Re: HCC GPU WUs are "Invalid"
Have also a Cedar (FirePro 2270). on PCIe 16x.
The Work is done with Boinc 7.0.31/x64).

A lot of WU's are valid, and some are Invalid. don't know why.

Have also a APU 3850 with HD 6550D on the same Mainboard.
This WU's are all valid.

Will deinstall Boinc 7.0.31 and upgrade to Boinc 7.0.36/x64) in the next hours and hope there is a fix.

I updated the driver to 12.10 (beta is not something I seriously want to have as a graphics driver on my home computer). No success - still all are invalid.

I updated BOINC to 7.0.36. Again, all results are invalid.

Anyone out there with an ATI 5450/512MB who gets VALID results?

Regards,
Martin

I got a few valid results during the first and/or second beta, but after that, all I had were invalids or errors.

The 5450 used to be on the known not to work list, but I just checked and it's no longer listed. thinking https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/help/viewTopic.do?shortName=GPU#610
