AMD GPU
The absolute minimum required driver to run any work at Seti is Catalyst 11.12, in the table below designated 1112000.
Catalyst 12.2 and onwards starts dropping OpenCL support for Windows XP for some GPUs.
Catalyst 12.4 and onwards OpenCL support for Windows XP completely dropped.
Catalyst 12.10 and onwards: Windows XP & HD4000 series are maintenance updates only.
Catalyst 13.1 has an APP runtime 1084.4 compiler bug. Do not use this driver for SETI@home.
15.11 and onwards, releases are now called Crimson instead of Catalyst, and officially only support Graphics Core Next (GCN) based GPUs.
At 23 November 2016, minimum required ATI/AMD GPU at Seti is a Radeon HD 5xxx with 512MB memory, or a FirePro equivalent.
Drivers are available from the AMD drivers download page.
