GPUPI: International support thread

 

Version 3.3 or beyond will not be allowed due to changed algorythms and other improvements!

Then where do I get V3.1+? The link only has V3.3.2. Is anybody going to do anything about this? Or are we just not doing GPUPI anymore? I'm so lost. Please explain. Thanks! PS, V3.3.2 doesn't even work...AT ALL!!! So you don't need to worry about that POS.

If you search for GPUPI on the web you will find my site with all versions to download: https://www.overclockers.at/news/gpupi-international-support-thread

The problem that's confusing everybody is the fork of GPUPI (3.2 and 3.1, gets points) and GPUPI 3.3 (no points). I can only accept the fact, but I am definitely not a fan of this.

I would advise to not bench GPUPI 3.3 currently. I am working on GPUPI 4 that will improve a lot of things, especially benchmark security and timer precision/reliability. It will also get rid of the plagued OpenCL implemtations for CPUs, so it will work out of the box in the future. No need to install any OpenCL driver.

I have updated the download page on overclockers.at to reflect the situation on HWBOT better. Let me know if that helps.

How to run this bench for the CPU? When I click the Calculate menu, it only allows me to select my Graphics card, so I can't run it for the CPU.

Got an AMD/ATi graphics card? I've found the best way to get OpenCL for CPU working is installing the Radeon Drivers prior to 18.8.1 (I think) Lately I've been using 18.5.1. Otherwise you can try your luck with the various OpenCL SDK packages that can be found on the net. Check out the GPUPI page on Overclockers.at. Alternatively you can try Intels OpenCL package. Links at the page mentioned.

Install the intel openCL and whatever AMD openCL you prefer and GPUPI will give you the option to run either Intel or AMD OpenCL.

And it works everytime whatever AMD openCL you desire to use 

@cbjaust Yes I have an Radeon 570, but i don't plan to install older VGA drivers just to run this bench.Thanks anyway @macsbeach98 I just need the Amd opencl. All i find online is the whole SDK at almost 300mb. There is not a simple driver file or something?

You have to download the whole AMD APP SDK from here, see "OpenCL drivers for CPUs": https://www.overclockers.at/news/gpupi-international-support-thread

 But you will only need to install the OpenCL driver (first entry if I remember), uncheck the rest in the installer.

@_mat_ I have downloaded the "AMD APP SDK 3.0 (OpenCL 2.0)" file and during the installation, I have selected the first option "OpenCL Runtime libraries", but still no option to select my CPU at the benchmark. Maybe I have to install something more?

As stated above your AMD GPU driver is overwriting the OpenCL entry for the CPU. In the posts above you are good countermeasures.

New 2020 scores: Require CPU-Z 1.91 or newer version New 2020 scores: Full desktop screenshot required ( no clipping)

Any updates for 2020? New adrenaline drivers are out. Is it still required to run old graphics drivers to be able to run it?

2020 drivers have been able to be used since their launch.

Matt is working hard on GPUPI 4.0, no need to redesign this version.

Hello everyone,
For win7 is the procedure the same or maybe it's a bit more easy?

No clue. Try to avoid Windows 7 for Compute benchmarks though.

Submit mode doesn't work for me at Win7. 2 times I tried to submit the results through the integrated process and both times I have received an Application error message something about instruction at memory 0x00000000 and that the memory could not be written. And I lost the results.

Suggest you just save the submit file instead and upload that separately. It usually works.

Small update.

I have unticked the boxes for the CPU and GPU at the results screen and it allowed me to save my results normally..

Go figure. I thought that it's recommended to have them selected.

nope depends on hardware, OS, SDK driver used… sometimes even running HWINFO in save mode helps to save... you just have to check if it saves properly before any serious benching

Happy Easter to everyone.

Unfortunately lately it doesn't allow me to save or submit anything any more on win7.

It just gives the message that the app stopped working and it's closing down. I have tried any possible combination with ticking or not the boxes and the result remains the same.

Is this ever going to be fixed? ?

So what did you change  from when it was working? That's the main question you need to ask yourself.
