I Don't Know, Help? Wednesday, April 04, 2012 9:20 AM (permalink)

I have a friend that wants to start folding on our team. Going completely
against my recommendations ( I recommended that he get a EVGA 5 series
vid card), he bought a AMD HD 6670 card. Now he wants my help because he
is getting an error message that the card is not compatible trying to use the GPU client.
He has the most curren GPU client and the most current Catalyst drivers installed. I don't
know what to tell him except "you should have bought EVGA!". Anyone know whats going on
here?

I would have thought that they'd have a core for it if it was released in the past 3 months.
