Problem with AMD Radeon HD 7610M

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.

Problem with AMD Radeon HD 7610M

Post by flamestriker »

Although my CPU is working finely, my GPU is disabled. I cant find why and how to fix this. My GPU is AMD Radeon HD 7610M

From the log:

Code: Select all

*********************** Log Started 2021-05-12T20:51:13Z ***********************
20:51:14:WARNING:FS01:Disabling beta GPU slot 01: gpu:1:0 Whistler LE [Radeon HD 6500/7500/8500].  Beta GPUs can be tested for no points by setting ``gpu-beta=true`` in the configuration.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Welcome to the folding support forum.

Your GPU is disabled since it is no longer usable for current F@h projects. The HD 7610M does not support double precision calculations (FP64) - https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/r ... 7610m.c377. Some double precision calculations are used during processing where the extra precision is needed.

Welcome to Folding@Home!

Because it does not meet the prerequisites, it cannot start, but if it could, it would never finish on time.

It is about 4 times slower than a GT 1030, about the slowest usable graphics card.

If it did work, it might overheat the laptop it was in.
