the default 12.8 driver is non-compatible with any switchable graphics laptops and causes BSOD

obviously it's not that simple cause default 12.8 works great on my HP 4530s (i5-2430m + AMD 6450m)


http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pa … Notes.aspx

"The following notebooks are not compatible with this release:
Switchable Graphics enabled notebooks."

And it so happens it did give me BSOD back when I tried installing it.

Maybe your laptop is just lucky enough not to conflict.

Can you tell some more details about difference between "good" and "bad" 12.8 driver?
How one can get "good" driver?

The bad driver is a customized version on Acer's website, tailored for my laptop (Acer 5820TG).

The good driver is a modified AMD 12.8 driver made by leshcat, that works with laptops with ATI+Intel switchable graphics (the default 12.8 driver is non-compatible with any switchable graphics laptops and causes BSOD).

Fixed! It was an incompatible driver basically, I was able to get a modded 12.8 driver working with my ATI+Intel hybrid laptop and voila GPU acc seems to work as intended now.

Does it rule out a few things though? Maybe there's a better idea as to where the conflict / bug might be now, since we know where it isn't.

Here it is.
Unpack, run, attach "test.log" file here.

Hey Chainik, how's the debugging mode coming along?

Well I'm really confused now.

I could make some kind of debug version

(hopefully on Tuesday)
if you really want to try to fix the issue.

If it's not too much trouble then that'd be great!

Well, which means it crashes only when it comes to real job.
OK, one more simple test, try to run any OpenCL app. For example OpenCL tests from "GPU Caps Viewer".

=========
BTW it could be a problem if your laptop use "AMD

or ATI
switchable graphics"  hmm

If you mean the OpenCL demo option in GPU Caps Viewer (the one with the 3D object that deforms around into weird shapes), yeah it works. I get between 35~60 fps with 600x600 with 4x MSAA.

My laptop (Acer 5820TG) does indeed have switcheable graphics, I never use the integrated graphics though, it's always on maximum performance (the HD5650) when it's not on battery.

It's kinda cool laptop then  big_smile

Still the fault occurs in amdocl.dll module so it's a driver issue.
When running SVPmark' synthetic tests at which point exactly it crashes? Right after "vectors search (single-threaded)" or later?

It was right after GPU->system transfer, I don't know if it's crashing on that step or on the step after that though.

Hmm, it's strange...
Just installed 12.8 on my laptop with HD6400 and it's working fine, ver. number is 1.4.1741.  hmm

Huh, I guess that rules out this being a driver issue then. Any tips as to how I might troubleshoot this further?

Edit: do note that my 12.8 driver is from Acer (my laptop brand)'s website driver downloads, instead of the AMD 12.8 driver, which causes BSOD when I try to install; apparently others are having that issue too.

Try 12.4 (1.4.1720). It works fine. You can look "good" version of drivers at SVPmak results. wink

Ah cool, thanks for the link, very helpful! Will definitely try that, but a few questions though:

1) it seems the latest compatible driver is 1.4.1741 rather than 1.4.1720, what 12.x version is that?

2) will you guys be working towards catching up to the later ATI/AMD graphics driver versions as usual?

Cheers~

This should give a hint wink
May be 12.8 runtime is too "up to date".

I'll certainly look into this but I think it's best to rollback to any previous driver version now.

Heya Chainik,

I see, that's a shame indeed...it took me a while to get the newest ATI driver installed properly so that newer video games could have the best performance. How far back in terms of driver version would you reckon I try?

Hi first time poster here, I've been delving into getting frame interpolation to work with the MVtools and avisynth settings back in the day, SVP is a godsent for integrating them into something much more manageable and elegant! Cheers.

The issue I'm having is that I can't seem to enable OpenCL GPU acceleration on my laptop without the MPC-HC immediately crashing with video playback.

Here are some initial troubleshooting to rule things out:

- it's not a memory problem, I used the 4GB mem patch on MPC-HC, I tried tiny 640x480 video clips, the crash is consistent.
- it's not due to overclocking, I use MSI Afterburner for overclocking, but even with it closed and the GPU at default clocks, the crash still occurs.
- my specs should be more than good enough and my GPU should be compatible with SVP; the CPU is an i5-460M dual core, the GPU is an ATI Radeon 5650.
- my ATI GPU driver is up-to-date (12.8)
- I disabled all video playback enhancement settings in the AMD Catalyst Control Center, still crashes.
- I tried different process threads, from 2 threads all the way to max, and it doesn't affect the crash.
- the crash also occurs when I try to run SVPmark 3, with GPU acceleration enabled in the run settings, so maybe (?) it's not related to MPC-HC?


Here's a launch log where I open SVP manager, turn on GPU acceleration, try to play a video, get MPC-HC to crash immediately and closed off.
