I am trying to fold on the new 5770 card. When i install the client it tell me the card is not supported or to try and update the drivers. I have the most recent ati drivers. Does anyone know if the 5700's are currently not supported? I previously was folding on the same machine on a 8800 gts with no problems.

i cannot manage to fold on my 4670 even it just goes through cycles of getting unit, working for less than 1% then UNSTABLE_MACHINE and new unit, working etc.., i dont know how to fold on ATI

There is no client for the 5000 series yet, so you have to start FAH with the parameter "-forcegpu ati_r700"

sounds to complicated for me.

It's actually quite easy, just install the FAH GPU client, then create a shortcut of the executable, go to properties and add the parameter in the Target line.
Should look like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home-gpu\[email protected]" -gpu 0 -forcegpu ati_r700

that didnt work. i am using win 7 if that matters 64bit.. wont let me change the target info on the short cut

That is because you need to create your own new shortcut. The one created during install will be blocked.

Right click on your desktop ->New->Shortcut\
\C:\Program Files (x86)\Folding@home\Folding@home-gpu\[email protected]" -gpu 0 -forcegpu ati_r700

now i get a core download error.. ill see what google can find for me.

ok i needed to move the instal folder out of program files. now it seem to be working.

if you would have said that it woulda been an easy fix ;) nvidia OR ati, with vista or newer you can't install in "program files" you have to make a folder just inside the C directory
