How to get Folding @ Home console client working on your AMD 6xxx card

on my HTPC I'm folding on the GPU only and the CPU is still running at 100% it's a single core tho

This worked for me from the cmd line w/ my 6770. thanks!
but has anybody gotten it to work w/ the graphical Folding@home-Win32-GPU-systray-6.41.msi?? or 6.23??
whenever i try to run it, i still get the "gpu not supported..." error.

because the GPU is not supported in those versions. your best bet is the v7 client, this will allow yout to get the core_16 WU's which are optimizeed for ATI/AMD gpu's. you will see a huge jump in PPD.

I've lived in upstate NY, Key West and Orlando FL, Virginia Beach VA and Portland, OR. My saying is:"you can only take so many clothes off". I'd rather have it cold, and truly cold, not like the nasty cold in VA Beach, than the heat and humidity of the south. I used to go ride my motorcycle in the Orlando 5:00PM thunderstorms trying to get cool. I'm not for the cold of say International Falls MN or anything north of the contiguous USA, but there's nothing quite as invigorating as breathing in some crisp, cold air. But, I grew up in the north. I may not see it that way if I grew up in the south.

IMHO, this thread should be closed. Client V7 and core_16 get so much more PPD than do the previous clients running GPU2 and core_11. Client V7 and core_16 are for HD5xxx and newer ATI/AMD GPU's.
