Mac users, note that Folding@Home can't use GPUs at all. I considered Boot Camp but their docs (and Boinc's) seem focused on Nvidia and don't appear to have kept up on "ATI" (AMD) video card instructions.
- hornetblack 7y agoFolding@Home is runnign GPU stuff on Windows without any configuration on my AMD RX 580. Although it's not using much of it. Presuably because OpenCL only runs of the Compute units which are relatively small part of the GPU.
- floatboth 7y agoNo, all GPUs released in the last 10 years have a unified shader architecture. Vertex, fragment, and compute shaders all run on the same units, and they are the big part of the GPU. "Compute units" is AMD terminology for a grouping of ALUs and stuff. Nvidia calls them "stream multiprocessors". Example: Vega 64 has 64 CUs, each CU has 64 "shader processors", so there's 64*64 == 4096 "shader processors" total. This is the big part.
- hornetblack 7y agoYea I install the Asus GPU-Z and i was better and gave that it was using 90% of the whole GPU. Windows just doesn't know how to count GPU usage apperntly.
