Topic: GPU acceleration unavailable with HD7870?

I've recently heard of and tried using SVP.

I've got a Q9400 and an HD 7870 with the newest Crimson drivers available after a fresh reformat. I've run into this issue where my GPU is not detected by SVP.

I'm sure the latest drivers support my card explicitly, as stated in their driver compatibility chart. Why isn't SVP detecting it?

Any help is appreciated.

The driver is lacking OpenGL support for your GPU most likely.

What operating system are you running? And have you tried with older drivers?

Just upgraded. Everything is fine here (7850)

Just reinstall driver or install an older version.

Running Windows 10 Pro, older drivers seem really unstable/choppy on 10.

I've tried downgrading before to 15.7.1, no real effect. The driver went all wonky on me as well.

Well, MadVR seems to be working perfectly and taxing my GPU up to 60% (After careful tweaking, down from 90%).

Guess I shouldn't worry too much about it?

The go-to solution for this issue has pretty much always been to use DDU to uninstall your drivers and then re-install said drivers (you can use the latest drivers if you'd like, but it's not a requirement).
