ATI Radeon HD 3650 and Radeon 9250 Won't Fold

[KerbalAwesomebuilder]

I installed the two cards listed above in an old Dell Optiplex 780 tower for folding, but they are stuck on ready with all their values at "unknown" and won't fold. Can someone help me here? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the 3650 is not supported based on its entry in GPUs.txt. I don't see the 9250 in there at all, but given that it's a 16 year old graphics card, I feel pretty confidant that it isn't supported either.

Thank you for trying to contribute. However both GPU cards are too old to be used for folding. The oldest Radeon cards that could be used are from the HD5800 series. At the minimum a GPU needs to support OpenCL 1.2 and have support for double precision calculations.

Depending on what CPU is installed in the Optiplex, it can be used for processing CPU projects. Support for that extends back to at least Core 2 Duo.

Thank you! I have a Core 2 Vpro, so that might be useful.
