I think you need to update GPUGrid. I see "OpenCL for AMD GPUs" in their system with WUs ready to send.

I am not a fan of the website. I cannot review their applications easily without having an account.

Found a thread on this. Doesn't look like it's quite ready, still in beta? AMD GPU users please check this out and advise if it can be added next month.

So in order for this to work you must select run beta applications in preferences, and make sure that Molecular Dynamics on AMD GPUs is also checked.

It says it only uses 3 CPU cores per unit, but since it is using 87-89% of my 4 cores Boinc doesn't run an asteroid unit along side it. Uses roughly 70% of GPU as well. Temps are within acceptable range for my machine as well. It's estimated to take about an hour to run a unit, so i will let you know how it does when it is finished.

All of this is being run on an AMD 6870 and an i3-3220 so your millage may vary

Just finished my first unit, gives 1,500 credit/unit. Only took 52 minutes to finish. The only other thing that I should note is that the tasks do not checkpoint, so if you stop running boinc you will have to start from 0 when coming back to it
